Holds breath. Turns key. Watches dusty blog machinery flicker into life. Breathes sigh of relief.
The blog is back for the relaunch of the all new, and yet somehow reassuringly familiar, Berliner-sized Observer. We thought our readers might want a peek into the newsroom over the next couple of days. And of course, the comments field is open for statements of support expressed in the florid language of Maoist-style unwavering loyalty. Or other sorts of comments if you must.
For people with broadband connections and 30 seconds to spare, the TV ad for the new paper is here. It is a thing of beauty. It is called 'Wind of Change'. It has no relationship with The Scorpions or other wind/change related soft Euro-rock anthems.
The newsroom is filling up. Time to get a digital camera.
