My stay here is winding towards its end. \u00a0I don’t know how ‘three weeks and two days’ have suddenly become ‘four more full days and then I leave on Monday’. \u00a0But it’s been time well spent. \u00a0Our production meeting for Maisie and Em brought us on leaps and bounds and we are all very excited about it, especially as the dates for filming some more episodes have been agreed. \u00a0I have a couple more catch-ups with people, a day out on a boat, and then I’ll be packing up. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
That said, it will be lovely to actually see The Daughter in person and not through the hazy, staccato images of Skype from Thailand to Antigua or a phone call. \u00a0I can’t wait for our catch-up lunch next week.<\/p>\n
One thing I’m not looking forward to is the election. \u00a0I’ve stopped looking at Facebook most of the time – tired already of the bigoted, blinded posts by supporters of all the main parties. \u00a0Suddenly, everyone’s a political commentator. \u00a0If you’re persuaded not to vote for him by watching a video of Ed Miliband trying to eat a burger or not to vote Conservative by being shown some made up figures scaremongering about the NHS then I feel sorry for you. \u00a0Far too many people vote for whoever their parents always voted for or because of their own roots and background. \u00a0These people will never change so a share on Facebook isn’t going to do any good. \u00a0 How many people could actually tell you what’s in their party of choice’s manifesto? \u00a0How many of the Great British Public voted for Clegg in the last election because he came over well on TV? \u00a0And look how that all turned out…….. \u00a0Getting involved with politics is a carousel to nowhere – you’re on a hiding to nothing. \u00a0As Dad once said to me: “It doesn’t matter who you vote for the Government always gets in”. \u00a0While the News is on my TV will remain well and truly OFF!<\/p>\n
And now, I will step off my soapbox as Holiday Reads 2 beckons………….. Back to the writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It was lovely lying in bed the last two nights \u00a0listening to the rain. \u00a0Sometimes it was gentle, barely audible, just rustling the leaves of the big plants around my bedroom window and others is was loudly hurling itself against … Continue reading
