Update and elections
Set for a record low turnout for the local elections in Scotland... and given the choice we had in my own ward, I can't say that I'm surprised. The 3 candidates with the most votes will get seats...
...and we had 4 candidates in total. Two of them from the same party.
At least we're not - quite - at the stage of every candidate who stands being guaranteed to get voted in, but...
Rather to my surprise, I've been asked to provide an update on myself here.
I'm still really rather ill, but am on a minor upturn after a rather cruddy few months. I overtaxed myself at the weekend, when I made it to my first tabletop game in who knows how long, but I'm hoping to be fit to do something similar again on Saturday.
We utterly failed to move home last year (as we'd hoped to), and have set ourselves a deadline for getting the house on the market this year, almost regardless of the state it's in. ;)
There are a few options for quite what we do with the house, and we're short of what we'd like to have when looking at buying somewhere in Edinburgh, but we should be able to move 20-odd miles closer to Janet's work, reduce my isolation, and get more space.
Not living next door to a youngster practicing to be a drummer and backing singer for a metal band would also be very welcome. ;)
