London is a strange place at the best of times. Those times seem to come rather frequently in my eyes. For example, the other day as I walked over the bridge there were 3 men wearing suits and fesses handing out leaflets and next to them on the road a donkey and cart complete with city worker on the back reading the paper. Turns out this was an advert for Egyptian holiday company. How about the time a few days ago when I saw getting out of a taxi at London bridge 3 dwarfs wearing traditional Austrian dress (laderhosens etc). Then there was the time when just as I walked over the bridge in the morning I saw about 30 people walking down the middle of it dressed in suits and bowler hats like the guy from the apple painting. They were in one long line doing a Mexican wave by lifting their arms complete with brief cases up in the air.
Of course those are just the adverts; I’ve lost track of how many films/music videos/news reports I must be in by now. I don’t think I have walked over the bridge without seeing at least one load of filming a week.
Right, well enough of that me thinks, interesting as that all is, I try to have a bit a life. Time for one of those roundups of what I’ve been doing:
The other weekend the explorers did a competition hike where I went as a support car, so I spent most of the time driving round in the dark (after a quick visit to Thomas’).
Saw Jen on Saturday and Thomas (again) on Sunday.
Went to see the film “the devil wears prada” which was actually very good and really worth seeing, in fact, I would be more than happy to see again. Doubt I will have time though as there are so many other films I want to see. Looks like that will wait for DVD.
Went to jonners for last weekend for a visit. On the Saturday I went shopping with him and got a nice new coat and trainers.
Oh, other recent news (which I should have really noticed). I now have a new phone to replace my 5 year old work horse. As a credit to it, it still works fine, its just it does do all that I want now. My new phone allows me to collect me emails and go online (and in making this entry from it on the train to work).
