One by one...

Recent events in the financial markets means that I've been supremely busy with little time for anything else. Today I sent an email to a friend of mine and it bounced back immediately, informing me that the email address was no longer vaild. As a result I have cause to think that she has been claimed as a victim of the wave of dismissals and redundancies that is sweeping through the city. I write a few more one liners and get similar results from a few, others reply more positively. I am unsettled, and despite being in a place which it best positioned to weather the storm, the industry itself is fragile.

However, on to lighter events. This morning on my way into work I saw:
- a discarded mattress with an almost perfect coil of dog poo on it. Was it art?
- 2 Calvinist nuns running in Salvation army sweaters over their robes and their rosaries flying behind, wimpoles fluttering in the wind.
- a fat woman on a bicycle who had to get off and push her bike up the slope because she kept rolling back down.

I am heading out to the West coast of the States on Friday and will post some pictures of the ocean and the sunshine. Until then, apologies again for the lack of updates.
