I'm having one of those weeks when I'm just too busy doing things to blog about them. For example, on Tuesday night I was at the EG Awards, our annual awards for the commercial property industry. Somehow I've managed to dodge the four previous events, despite being the mag's features editor back when they were launched...
It was a fun night, if a little subdued. After two years of hell for developers and agents, perhaps a lack of party spirit is understandable. That said, as I headed home just after midnight, pausing to catch up with Jackie and Andrew, and to chat with Victoria, there were still plenty of people clustered around the charity casino tables, and an air of optimism that the worst of the travails were over for the industry.
Of course, I couldn't resist throwing my trusty Canon SLR in my bag, and took the opportunity to grab some photos of the event, which could be used by our cadre of bloggers.
The Focus team have chosen to put them up as a slideshow, which is getting a rather gratifying number of views.
I wasn't the only EG bod recording the night. Multimedia reporter Helen Roxburgh, her of the residential blog, was running around with a video camera, recording the evening.
Full evidence after the jump:
