I was just thinking about Al, who used to work at one of the London local authorities that clashed with the Thatcher Government in the 1980s, and lo and behold there he was walking down Gray’s Inn Road. (Of course there was a nice coincidence when he also turned up in the same office as myself at Holborn Gate, during the Health Development Agency days.) I also happened to be thinking about coincidences, having posted on emotional intelligence, and how that relates to a different way of approaching reality. But that’s getting all clever on a hot day and I need to get to my recruitment agency!

The fall of the Berlin Wall – did it simply collapse or was it pushed?! I recall I was in Atlanta, Georgia, recovering after a tequila hangover from my birthday party a couple of days before. As I was in the US of course the nice thing was the news hardly registered, just a faint glimmer of information as me and my friend Mike Edgson got ready for a motorcycle trip of a lifetime. Yes, after selling Xmas trees and buying our bikes, we only got as far as Mexico. Though I kind of made it to South America (well Brazil, Argentia, and Paraguay) in a round-about-way.
