Podstitch have just started their presentation – the first of the teams to go, after a gruelling and thrlling week. Seeing the results of their work (as we will with all the other teams) is stunning. What you can do in a week, eh?

It's going to be a great day.

Time for bed

Well it's 2:15 am on Friday morning and we've finally finished our pitch for tomorrow! Maybe we shouldn't have had that Tiramsu in the pub down the road - we might have got things done a bit sooner! So it's off to bed now and we'll see what the morning brings.
