I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues

You know, even thought I know that this was the shire county elections, and even in '97 they were solid Tory, doesn't make it feel any better seeing a map of my country looking like this:

Still, let's see what Sunday brings in the form of the Euro results, before we go getting TOO depressed, eh?

In more personal news, and probably inspired by strangefrontier, I have chopped my hair this morning. It's now about the same length and shape as Missundaztood-era P!nk. Mat had to tidy up the back quite a bit LOL. It wasn't really long enough for the chopped bits to be any use for Locks of Love or similar, so does anyone have any ideas what to do with it? Will it be good for mulch?

Well, at least the map isn't BNP coloured.

I think you can compost hair. I still haven't sent mine off to Little Princess Trust, and having a big chunky braid on the table over there is just getting creepy! My hair's even shorter now because I've had three trimming sessions trying to get it the way I want it.

Well, at the end of the day the Conservatives hardly got a ringing endorsement yesterday and some polls are placing them under 30 per cent for the Europeon election.

I would not rule out the Norwich North by election being something of a banana skin for David Cameron and the Conservative Party as I imagine that there are some inclined to vote Conservative who might just cast their vote elsewhere in the knowledge that they will have to vote again for Westminister within the year. With the strong Green presence in Norfolk and UKIP polling well there, there would seem to be aleast two homes for disaffected Labour and Conservative voters which might well help the Liberal Democrats rise from third and win the seat for the first time.

Though I think I may have made a somewhat rash prediction elsewhere that Norwich North would make Westminister history by returning the Commons' first Green MP.

Norwich North will be interesting, particularly with Craig Murray standing (I'd actually like to see both Greens and LibDems stepping aside for him).

I don't know if hair makes good compost but I do know if you put it outside birds will use it in making nests.

At least you've got a little smidgen of yellow down in the corner, there... my Third Party has got a big ol' goose egg in this US state.

Re: hair, as someone else said, the birds will use it. It's also supposed to keep wild critters out of the garden (American usage of garden-- a vegetable plot), though I don't know if that's a going concern for your herb pots. And yes, it will compost, though it will help to clip it into little short lengths first.

Permission to feel depressed now?

For a moment there when I saw you're twitter I thought you had commented on my post. Was very confused!

It's worse than that, as some of the undeclared counties are now blue, so yea, yikes!

There's all that blue, and then the *tiniest* yellow for Bristol. Sadly, the rest of the country seem to have forgotten the 1980s...

Permission granted, soldier.

I kept hiding the page of the paper with that hideous map on it...
