Well, It's another sweltering Monday lunchtime here in Hackney as I sit down with my first coffee of the day listening to the tranquil sounds of police sirens dance off a light easterly breeze.
As I sit here on an overcast Sunday afternoon staring at two magnificent victorian gas towers 'built by designer John Clark in 1866' I wonder why I'm actually bothering to write this post when all around me the world seems to be imploding on itself.
