Occasionally it is possible to work from home and today I stayed home preparing for Monday’s presentation on our tender for the Hertfordshire LINks contract.

I found rather depressing the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics with its relentless focus on spectacle through technology and drilling. Wondering what opening ceremony London should offer in 2012 and decided that we should provide the Queen with a pair of scissors and a red ribbon. Sometimes Less is More. And then Russia launched its tanks into Georgia and the glamour and gaudiness of the Olympic Games did little to disguise the stark realities of the world.
