Hi,
When I got home, I sorted out tea for Toby. Then we walked down to St Luke's hall in the Wadestown shops to listen to the electorate candidates speak. We got there early, at 7.15pm and it started on time at 7.30pm. Brendon chaired the meeting and did well to keep everything moving along.
Toby and I got seats up nice and close and we both enjoyed it. There were five candidates and they all had 5 minutes to stand up and give their spiel. Then we had a question and answer session where any of them could answer it - but only had one minute to do that.
By the time 9pm rolled around, Toby and I thought we should leave as the questions looked like they were coming coming and fast still. But we did start a wee exodus. As we walked home, we discussed the session. Toby said he enjoyed it way more than he thought he would. His thoughts on the candidates were insightful, and it looks to me like his political compass points the same way as mine. Apart from his fixation on Gareth Morgan. Gareth is talking on Sept 21 at Vic Uni and Toby wants to go to that now.
Nice bike ride in this morning. Dry roads and no wind. What a novel thing to experience.
Enjoy the weekend.
Love,
Angela
