So it's the last day of campaigning. I noticed that a lot of my posters "disappeared" around Portmarnock towards the end of last week and someone elses seemed to appear in their place. Politics appears to be a vicious business.
Not to worry, luckily I hung on to a few and had them rehung yesterday, so all's well that ends well.
I'm down to my last few 100 leaflets aswell so I'll get all those out tonight and then it's in the lap of the gods.
I got a flier in the door in the last few days that indicated that Averil Power had called around to my house and was "sorry that she missed me". I wish I had been there! I would have liked to ask her about how she feels being part of a party who would rather give countless billions to the banks/developers rather than getting 12 year old girls vaccinated against cervical cancer. I have a 9 year old daughter myself so I would not be fobbed off with drivel on this issue.... Oh well. It's a pity I wasn't there but I'm sure both her and her running partner Eoghan O'Brien are getting it in the neck everywhere they go.
And to the poor 6th year students who have had their English paper 2 cancelled this mnorning. This is a terrible, terrible misfortune on you, but please try and remember that everyone doing the exam is in the same boat so it's not an advantage/disadvantage to anyone. I, for one, am thinking of you because we can all remember how difficult it was doing the leaving cert. The very best of luck to you all!
Finally, to the budding artist who drew a "hitler-esque" moustache on my poster in Portmarnock village outside Smyths butcher. Words fail me...
