Close race in Slovakia election as vote counting continues
In the early stages of vote counting on Sunday, the populist SMER-SSD party, led by former Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, emerged as the frontrunner, despite exit polls indicating that the liberal Progressive Slovakia party was in the lead. As of the latest update, with 90.15% of votes counted, SMER-SSD holds the top position with 23.69% of the partial votes, while Progressive Slovakia is currently in second place with 15.68%. Two earlier exit polls had predicted a narrow victory for Progressive Slovakia, which would require the support of smaller parties to form a government in the 150-seat parliament. The center-left Hlas (Voice) party, led by former Smer-SD member and Prime Minister from 2018-2020 Peter Pellegrini, is a close third with 15.43% of the votes. Hlas may play a pivotal role in the formation of a coalition government. Prior to the election, Pellegrini did not express a preference for either of the larger parties, but noted that his party was more aligned with Fico's SMER-SSD.

I Am SORRY
I am sorry. Three simple words that hold so much weight. They say that acknowledging your mistakes is the first step towards redemption, but it's not always that easy. Sometimes, saying sorry can feel like opening a Pandora's box of emotions. Guilt, shame, regret - all come flooding in, threatening to drown you.

The Life Of A Writer Is Lots Of Hard Work And A Little Inspiration. In all honesty, I really don’t feel that I chose to become a writer, I think it was more of a case of it choosing me. Something, or somebody, reached down from the sky and touched me and that was it.

It had been a long journey to reach this point, a journey that had taken her across continents and through countless trials. But now, she was here, at the end.

The Good Book
Introduction Last week I bought an album at The Beehive in Alnwick, "The Good Book" by Melanie Safka When I buy vinyl I like them to be special. These days it seems to be coloured vinyl or a picture disc and that is it, which is not very interesting at all.
