more catch up
Jun. 3rd, 2007 09:53 pmI'm shocked to realise I haven't written any livejournal since February. Of course most of the Spring was taken up with a gruelling - and ultimately unsuccessful!!! - election campaign. I woke up the following day feeling more than a bit disoriented. No more Council meetings. No more in-fighting at LGA over the future of international work for UK Councillors. And after 10 years of being inundated with EU information and feeling very involved with the European project, no more Committee of the Regions.
A month on, I have updated my professional CV and am actively looking for consultancy work. I have applied to be selected for a much more winnable seat in next year's local elections. As I am suddenly time-rich, I am taking regular exercise and making inroads into the massive backlog of filing in my home office. I have tidied up our tiny back yard and now have plants (edible ones) growing there. I have even done a little mending but have not yet started altering or making clothes. I'm reading books!
Next Saturday we will have a family party at my sister Helen's to celebrate my engagement to Mick. Life moves on.
