Several new pieces at the top of the Widget.

I went to a seminar at the Institute for Government today. It was nice enough but it was disappointing that more progress hasn t been made on the subject of policy evaluation in the last thirty years. The IfG is in the building on the corner between Green Park and St James Park. I walked around both parks with CL on Sunday. The sun was shining and the park was packed with both tourists and Londoners. Today the ICA wasnt open and so I didnt face the temptation of buying a volume in their bookshop.

It s a strange sensation to listen to younger people working on issues that one has worked on oneself decades ago. Mark put up a video of Davey Graham accompanying Sonny Boy Williamson. SBW sounded just fantastic.
