A truly memorable week. A birthday dinner and film, catching up with far-flung friends, two team away days with quizzes, amazing food, a Gillian Anderson cameo, cocktails and karaoke, culminating with a Clearleft alumni picnic (which I mostly missed). My throat is sore but my heart is full.

A week in modern Athens, a worn down yet beautifully vibrant city.

A week in ancient Athens, exploring the Acropolis and Agora.

Ian Dunt captures a predicament I often find myself facing:

Things in the past only take shape and assume their current form once they are over. Things in the present can therefore never live up to them. They can never provide the same degree of certainty, because they are still happening. So we live with this constant defect where we over-emphasise the innocence of what has gone and we underestimate the quality of what is happening.
