OK, can anyone spot the difference today?  Getting onto the train this morning felt like the first day back at school.  People no longer had an all day, rolling parade of excitement to follow and suddenly had to focus on  'other news'.  Added to that the relief that London had not just not messed up, but triumphed.  There was a sense that people had discovered emotions they were not aware of and were wondering what to do with them.  For me with my writer's head on, lots of stories start here...

There was an air of something missing, lost but within fingertip distance.  People groped blindly, because they did not yet want to admit it had gone.
