Gah.
Well the election was pretty much as expected. I watched some of it when I got in last night but I wasn’t in the mood to stay there all night and await the results. Labour are back in with a much smaller majority. I doubt very much Blair will serve out his full term, he can’t for the next elections sake. I was disappointed that while the Lib Dems did well, they didn’t gain as many seats as I would have liked and lost some to the Tories. Very happy to see Veritas and UKIP collapse but also very disappointed that Green didn’t manage to get that one seat they looked close on.
Northern Ireland has just started now with SF and the DUP both up at the expense of SDLP and UUP. Pretty much as expected there. Eager to see how the rest go.
This is going to be a very quiet weekend. I’m very tired and I’m looking forward to some quiet time. It’s badly needed. Play some games, watching some TV, catch a movie perhaps. Quiet, quiet quiet.
Stuff on after work tonight and then probably early home.
I’m listening to the new Ryam Adam’s album; Cold Roses and it’s pretty good. It’s less rocky than the last two, less poppy than Gold but a nice mix of folk/pop/softrock. I’m actually enjoying it a whole lot.
