On the way:
Following the euphoria of the victor's parade, London is coming down.
Literally in the case of "London 2012".
It's all around. Just here, for instance, the photographic exhibition outside the London Authority carbuncle is being dismantled, a stage in the Scoop mini-amphitheatre is being struck, the giant screen on Potter's Field has disappeared, leaving only scaffolding behind.
It can only be a matter of time before Wenlock and Mandeville disappear from our public spaces and shop windows to turn up in bargain bins - on Leicester Square they were being flogged for half-price even before the roar had subsided on The Strand.
And if you look up while crossing Tower Bridge, tucked away below the upper span, is the Paralympic Agitos symbol, ready to be removed, probably forever.
It's all going normal.
Normal, that is, for the greatest city on earth.
