That in itself is a strange thing to say as every day consists of 24 hours or 23 hours 56 depending on how you view things.
But the length of our day in our minds depends on lots of different factors. How much we do and how long do we take in doing it are just two of them.
So figuratively speaking yesterday was a very long day. I was on poll clerking duty for the Police and Crime commissioner elections. So we were in Hethersett Village Hall from just after 6 am until just after 10 pm. I was surprised by the number of people who turned up to vote. It wasn't the masses but it was a steady trickle. We had over 550 people during the day and evening.
Many people complained that they knew nothing about any of the candidates for the £95,000 a year job. Other people were rather confused that there were no local authority elections to vote for in Hethersett. One voter even thought it was a general election.
People are now so used to bringing photographic ID with them that most hand it straight to you without being asked. We only had one person who couldn't furnish us with photo ID. He was quite angry, but angry with himself for forgetting rather than with us for excluding him from voting. He didn't return.
We had a friendly little team and a lot of fun - yes it is possible to have fun at an election and 99 per cent of those voting were very pleasant. We only had one Mr Grumpy who wasn't amused when he went to the left hand desk only to be told he should be at the right. The room is split according to the alphabetical order of roads. He seemed to think it was our fault that he went to the wrong desk when it was his for not reading the clear instructions of where to go when he entered the hall. But as we always say you can please some of the people some of the time.
Today I'm going to take things more easily after a working day of over 16 hours. The way I look at it, going out for the day saves money as you aren't using any gas or electricity at home.
It's been a busy old week one way or another with meetings, elections, visits and lots of other things going on.
I know how much you enjoy photos and so we might just pop up to North Norfolk for the weekend to shoot some seascapes.
