A sounding board for what sounding boards ought to look like

摘要

Monday. In the morning, take part in a video conference exploring the nature of community. Topics include How To Grow Social Cohesion, Stakeholding Equals Bridgebuilding and People Are Selfish And Stupid, That's Why We Need Consultants. In the afternoon, watch live news coverage of the floods in Cumbria - heroic policemen, rescue operations in the freezing darkness, the kindness of neighbours, the quiet stoicism of ordinary people - before remembering there's a repeat of Jeremy Kyle on the other side Tuesday. Finish sketches for the world's most environmentally sound airport in Blingnang, China. It is the city's seventh, and easily the most auspicious.
