Day 1842

Quite a jolly day at work, with the promise of Windows 95 on my PC.

In the evening went out in the rain to the Crown to meet M and E. M still cautious about the election, probably still will be 3 years into the Blair government. (Oops, bit of complacency there). I mean, after 1992 it's hard not to feel that any assumption of victory is going a bit far. I've been waiting ten years for a chance like this, and while I'm prepared, as an emergency plan, to wait another 5, 15 or 50 if I have to, it is nice to think that in six days the Ghost Train will finally pull into the station.

No new polls, so nothing to check against my graph. Saw Tony on the campaign trail on the news, wind-blown and passionate for a change, made me feel he does after all believe in what I do.

Finished The Word for World is Forest. Gripping stuff. Ursula never fails.
