In contrast to yesterday which was wet and grey, today was full of the
promise of Spring. Bright sunshine, clear blue skies and warm
temperatures were a pleasant reminder that winter is coming to
an end.
Back at work today, I ended up going out on the hustlings with
two of the election candidate. Even though they were both from
the opposition parties, the disillusionment with the political system
is such that they were rebuked by people who said they had lost
faith with all politicians. A chance encounter when one candidate
called to the home of another made for entertaining copy while
I met up with an old schoolfriend and former Lord Major of Dublin
who was out campaigning with her sister, the only woman standing
in Louth.
