Spectacular...

...opening of the Olympics in London, but Auntie was tucked up in bed, reading von Balthasar, with exams looming the next morning...I was staying with a friend who had generously given hospitality so that I would be near the exam centre (the Amigo Hall at St George's Cathedral, Southwark, since you ask) in the morning. Overhead, as I sat studying, helicopters chattered and clattered. Further up-river that great spectacular was unfolding...and giving, from what all the reports and images seem to tell, a magnificent swirl through British history with just the right message of glory and humour...
