...just a little bit of politics...

great news about the forests! that's the first successful petition i have ever signed. probably also says a lot more about the demographic who organised and spoke out. i doubt those most affected by the welfare cuts will be heard with such sincerity.

to be honest i've been feeling more than a little jaded with regards to politics in recent years. pretty much every demonstration i have ever been on has had little to no effect. do you remember when... further education was free...when over 100,000 folks took to london town in protest of the invasion of iraq...hmmm. and what with the current state of affairs you do begin to wonder why you bothered voting in the first place. but that's the point, i've earned the right to complain!

lets ride this wave of people power. join the national demonstration against cuts. march 26th, victoria embankment, london town.

that is all.

still here...

as an old boss of mine used to say, 'i haven't got time to shit' at the moment. despite being warned numerous times by numerous people, i'm still shocked at how 'full time' nurse skool is. but i'm still enjoying it and haven't missed a lecture yet - this is uncharted territory!

in between pedaling back 'n forth to skool, i've been doing the odd spot of swimming and even managed some (very) short road runs. if would appear that 6months off running has cured my knee..... now is probably as good a time as any to announce this years race that's going to kick my ass ..... the ben nevis triathlon. but it's ok, it's not til september, plenty of time......

jane calls it my 'installation'. she's titled it 'hot aches and near misses'. it's a traveling exhibition and can be installed in any home for the small fee of a slice of cake and a cup of tea.
