Profession gets talking

The summer is traditionally a quiet time in optics. Optician spends its time avoiding silly season stories and coping with quiet afternoons, chasing elusive contacts.

This year there seems to a be a move toward a little more activity as the market, indeed the whole economy itches to come out of recession. The GOC consultation is typical of the mood. There is an air of making ready going on. I hope that feeling is realised.
