Post Electoral Depression

Bad week for everybody. We hang on in the constituency. BBM behaving as if the election has not happened. Rushes round visiting people and dealing with their concerns all the while coughing desparately. Seems to have been through buckets of Benylin (non drowsy) Well, that's what it says on the packet, but he seems pretty drowsy to me.

Chuck mountains of unused campaign literature out with the rubbish, and spend a lot of time packing to go home. We don't finally make it until Saturday. Beginning to wonder if BBM has gone troppo because he says now that he never wants to go back to London.

Suggest visit to doctor to get something for cough but am not surprised when he says no. I don't really believe he should go myself. His eyes are still bright and he doesn't have a temperature, so I guess he will improve slowly. He may even improve quickly if something new and exciting happens. Developing a theory that BBM has first recorded case of Post Electoral Depression

Transfer suitcases of clothing and electronic equipent from constituency to home. Go to Tesco to replenish all the boring things we have run out of while we have not been there (puzzle: explain?)

Pack new suitcase of clothes and electronic equipment to take to London and then forced to leave the whole lot behind. We have to walk the mile and a half to the station, the local cab company being too busy on a Sunday afternoon to pick us up within an hour of the train departure time.

Arrive in London sans clothes sans laptop. In addition I have forgotten mobile phone, house keys, swimming goggles.

Will I ever get back in the routine again?
