What will we do? Well 'all I want to do is tell you I love you'.

It is early Wednesday morning and I've got Wiley on YouTube - and I'm already looking forward to the weekend.

Yesterday we agreed to open on Friday and sat down to see how to get the news out. 'Bluecoat burns' is front page but 'We're back' is only page 7. It will take many more positive stories to overcome the negative one that has now set the agenda.

I got home yesterday just in time to read my 4 year old a book before turning his lights out. As I lay down I realised I stunk of smoke and my eyes were watering.

I'd not seen him in the morning as I'd been called out to the fire at the Bluecoat. When I arrived the fire brigade had been there two hours already and while the fire was not raging it had got in between the floors and was flaring up in different areas.

The fire crews were putting on breathing equipment, picking up axes and disappearing into the building to replace the teams coming out whose faces were blackened with smoke.
