I watched the column of smoke develop from the 35th floor of a city office block from just after 12.10. Very awe inspiring. You could see flashes of orange flames and as the fire brigade got the thing under control, you could see the shape of the clouds of smoke change.

Was at my publishers Lawrence and Wishart in Hackney Wick today. You can see the burnt out carcass really clearly out of their big-sized windows. It looks like a fallen-down house of cards now. Seems a bit suspicious that the building was empty and it would have had to have been demolished anyway...
