Did I mention the view?

Well, today was strange.  And quite fun.  And, also, strange.

It was good to stretch my brain a tad again, and I didn't slide *quite* all the way under the desk when my total lack of editing skills were revealed for all the world to see...  Ack.  I don't think I ever quite learned how to copy edit properly, as proven by the myriad of unreadable scribbles all over my attempts at the editing exercises...

It wasn't terrible though, not by any means.  My security pass photo looks *awful* of course (it may be the worse yet) but oh, the fun of sitting in the press gallery during a Commons debate while the public gallery has to hide behind a very fetching plexiglass screen.  And I just missed David Cameron walking past apparently...

So, there was the opportunity to step over tourists on Westminster Bridge trying to take pictures of Big Ben (it is very tall, yes, and all shiny in the sun today, but laying down on the *pavement*? In London? Ick.  Also, lots of people trying to step on your head.).  And I got to try out the scary Star Trek security pods they use for my building, and the funky Secret Tube Entrance (it leads to a rather fab huge glass roofed atrium with real trees).

Also, I looked out the window of the training room mid afternoon, and the sun was starting to set behind some random gorgeous gothic tower, and it was all rather lovely.  

On a slightly worrying random note, tonight I discovered that apparently I've memorised big chunks of the script to You've Got Mail.  Now, if I could only harness my powers for good and learn the name of a few MPs...
