The view from here

This is the view, to my right, from my desk at work. The palm trees are real, as are (some of) the people. The glass between the workers and the drop is to prevent jumpers (probably).

Things were a bit quiet at lunchtime today, so I had a look at the BBC news:

"Sandbags needed to hold back flood water in hosepipe ban region"

"Olympic missile sites announced: Surface-to-air missiles could be deployed at five sites across London"

You couldn't make it up.
