Birthday blues?

It was back to business today with a round of canvassing in Rownhams in the morning followed by envelope stuffing in the afternoon. There was a birthday cake and some fizz to help things on their way.

I had to ask myself how many other people would choose to spend their birthday in this way. Fellow politicians who share my birthday are David Amess and William Hague. I stopped believing in horoscopes when I discovered our birthdays clashed because I decided in the 2001 election that polling day could not be good for both of us...

Oh - and just to prove I am not completely sad I will point out I am going out for a nice meal shortly.
