As Bridgit noted earlier it’s been very quiet around GrodsCorp today, in contrast with the immensely blogworthy events of the past 24 hours. “I can only assume that everyone is drunk or hungover,” assumes Bridgit. Well, she assumes correctly.

There was a gathering of like-minded people at GrodsHQ last night to watch the election results roll in and many drinks were drunk. At one point John Surname had a beer, a glass of Scotch, and a glass of champagne all at once. Both John and I had been up since 5am working on (separate) election-related projects, but all of us trucked on to the wee hours (including a trip to the local pub at 1am) regardless. Despite the vast amount of stuff I’ve wanted to blog today I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I will post a GrodsCorp election wrap-up tomorrow but in the meantime here’s the glass of champagne I drank while John Howard was delivering his concession speech.

The country just felt… well… different today. Like a weight had been lifted.
