hawkwing_lbI have another case of mild sunburn, due to spending most of the day on the beach, wandering around rockpools, terrifying tiny crabs, smashing barnacles off rocks with flint cobbs and looking at their undersides, and occasionally looking at my notes. I'm sure my preparation is inadequate, but fuckit. I enjoyed myself. Too bad the tide was so far out, or I might have been arsed to go swimming, too.
Tomorrow there's the exam in the morning - I need to be on the seven o'clock train - and in the afternoon, I have to vote in the local and European elections. I intend to vote socialist, and in the Europeans, Labour or Independent: I would be voting Green, but the buggers haven't had the guts to wash their hands of Fianna Fáil and go back to the opposition: I don't intend to reward them for their moral cowardice.
(Yes, politics is the art of the compromise. But for fuck's sake, people. Fianna Fáil: the Republican Party are a party of opportunists, chancers, embezzlers, liars, and scum. Their policies are regressive, both socially and economically, and they haven't an ethical spine among them. I realise expecting a politician to stand up and be counted is like expecting a jellyfish to get up and walk, but this is a matter of principle.)
