Sunday Post

It's been a very enjoyable conference so far although, frankly, I could have done with being a little less committed over the weekend so far, but I have managed to snatch some valuable chatting time to friends I see all too rarely.

As an added bonus I managed to celebrate my birthday today, although there was more than one moment today when I caught myself thinking "I'm spending my birthday doing this?"

So far at conference I have done things like chair a reports plenary session with ruthless efficiency, spoke at the Green World official fringe and was thoroughly heckled, been elected to the national executive of the Green Party and managed to lose my voting cards - meaning I couldn't, well, vote.

Very frustrating when we passed some good housing policy, but only just, or passed the motion on AV committing the Green Party to be part of the "official" campaign. Anyway, you can't have everything and I've got bigger things to think about.

Which reminds me - I'm going to have to think about what significance being elected to the executive has for this place. I don't blog confidential stuff, and don't tend to slate individuals anyway - but I will have to consider if I need to revise any of my 'policies' for the blog.
