The last week has possibly been the strangest time that I can remember. From the excitement and euphoria of the march and Live8 last Saturday, the fear as I left Edinburgh on Monday that the "anarchists" were going to totally overshadow the Make Poverty History agenda for G8. An abysmal and depressing full council meeting on Tuesday, excitement over the Olympic announcement and Live8 (the second round) in Murrayfield on Wednesday. Shock and horror over the news and TV coverage from London on Thursday, and concern for family and friends who may have been caught up in it. And then fear, and worry and anger. Panic and curiosity after events in Birmingham on Saturday. Nervous, defiant and proud of the fact that things have carried on where possible. It seems impossible that all this has taken place in just one week.
