We are in a little bubble of an alternate outlook on the world - good news stories are rightly in the ascent whatever bad things happen in the background. Today I was able to look at a picture taken on the surface of Mars only minutes before. That is perhaps what we should be looking at as the pinnacle of human achievement. The fact that no Men in Black get in the way of it is an extra gift that should hopefully send the conspiracy theorists back to their curtained rooms.
And as well, after many weeks of being anxious, cynical and bored by the whole Olympics thing, I was glued to the box for the Opening Ceremony and again for the Super Saturday of Team GB Gold medals. It truly feels like the Idealists have actually wrested away the levers of the universe and we are at the foothills of a glorious future.
Too much? Perhaps but we can dream.
