Election Diary Day 22

What an amazing few days in which time I have met and shaken hands with

Eddie Izzard - the comedian went to Swansea University to encourage the students to vote (preferably Labour!) then back into town to do a walkabout round the town centre which certainly seemed to be well received.

Carwen Jones - for those who may not know he is Wales' First Minister of the Welsh Assembly, taking over from Rhodri Morgan last year. He came and spoke briefly at a morale boosting members get together last night.

Alistair Darling - yes, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, second most powerful person in Britain! Now not only did I shake his hand but was one of a select few asking him questions on behalf of the business organisation I belong to ie Federation of Small Businesses. He even sat next to me - OK so that might actually be a turn OFF for some of you but from a political stand point I was quite impressed!!

Oh, and I've also caught a cold but I spose you can't have everything!
