Election year begins

Well, the new year is underway in a “real” sense (Chicken has returned to work, I will be back to my “normal” hours next week, the snack foods of Christmas are running out and Muller yogurts are filling our fridge). My cold continues, reinforced despite the herbs and vitamins I am stuffing down each morning, but we live in hope of avoiding the evil sounding tummy bug that is going all around the country. We haven’t have any snow here in Devon, but it has been freezing, with the biting wind that has also been all over the nation of late. Today there is a sort of mist of cold hanging over the village. On more exciting news, the first caucus has been called in the States, Iowa. What is even more exciting though (well, if you’re a politics geek, such as myself) is that Hillary Clinton came third. Obama won, then Edwards, then Hillary. Interesting… Very interesting. Those in the know seem to be saying this morning that Edwards won’t last it out and it will still be a Obama/Clinton two-horse fight, but either way it looks to be the most interesting American election for yonks. Plus, anything must be better than the current President, mustn’t it? Anyhoo, time for a coffee with Mum. |
