Pollyanna

One of my friends who is also heavily involved in the by election at the moment, was telling me about a conversation she had with two others as they headed in to the campaign HQ the other morning. The other two were telling themselves off for being overly cynical about life and expressing a desire to try to be less so on that particular day. "Never mind" says the friend "you'll have Pollyanna to keep you company all day" - referring of course to me!! As she told me this later on I thought "I'm nothing like Pollyanna, why do people keep saying that?" ... before remembering that as the aforementioned two walked into the office that morning, I was skipping through singing "The Sun Has Got His Hat On"!!! Hmmm, a point well made perhaps.
