Another coffee at our now favourite café in the warm sun. Ah, it's a hard life.
G&T and nibbles (first class) at M's and then we come home to the breaking news that Mubarek has resigned and that, temporarily one prays, the army is in charge, though prepared, they say, for elections to follow. Less than a day after Mubarek's appalling non-resignation speech. For all the fears, the jubilation is a joy to watch. The square we have watched for the past two and a half weeks is pulsing with celebration and the lights now at dusk give it a golden glow, punctuated with fireworks above the throng - a people who for the past thirty years have been forbidden to gather in groups of more than five, hundreds of thousands of them.
We've been watching the visuals on BBC World television, while listening to similar coverage on BBC World radio - not pirated and therefore much better quality sound.
