So – six more visits to sheltered and supported housing. I am so enjoying this. It is so rare to get the time to sit down and just talk – not just about what is wrong or issues to take up – but about all sorts of things. Overall, so far, the places I have been to are pretty well looked after and the residents are worried more about things around their locations. Lots of paving stone problems, overhanging bushes and branches – and the never-ending problems with bus drivers who don’t pull into the kerb.
Did my bit on talkSPORT radio last night. Hilarious as we meandered into a philosophical discussion about ‘community’, the selfish world that Maggie T created and the ills of the world. Really enjoyable – just like a pub chat. Don’t know what got into me!
And to finish off my day – just got in from canvassing in Hampstead Town ward by-election. Linda Chung is our candidate – and walking to where we were going to canvas took ages because everyone, just everyone knows her. She is a great candidate having lived in Hampstead for thirty years.
If the bit of canvassing I did is anything to go by – all going very well. It was quite charming on the doorstep also to hear the tributes paid to one of our former Lib Dem councillors in Camden in this ward – Margaret Little. Obviously much loved and remembered. So – hopefully if Linda wins – she can carry on the that mantle!
