Wednesday, November 6

I have worked at award-winning speed all morning to clear a couple of hours for a visit to the HundrED launch.

I find the place, on the third floor, and then find Irma. We find some empty seats, and I take some pre-show photographs.

Kipa will arrive late, in time for the alarm on her phone to sound loudly round the venue, and two hours of presentations will follow. I will enjoy Li Andersson’s performance as Minister of Education, and I will feel suitably underwhelmed by some of the “innovations” on offer.

I will learn that “Muji will open tomorrow”. I have never known a shop open tomorrow for so long.
