Things I saw today...

1) A man – just like the model-esque black guy in the Coca-Cola advert, smiling and singing to his iPod as he walked home after work. He didn't look crazy, just happy. I couldn't hear him so have no idea of how he sounded.

2) A torn blanket, a plastic sheet and a small carrier bag left in a pile by a busy roadside in central London. Someone's home for the night.

3) Lavishly decorated Christmas trees in the windows of a public building. They weren't lit, but still, it is only October.

4) The view of the London skyline and the Thames at dusk. A twinkling, beautiful, historic, modern, busy, interesting, quiet (if you know where to look), wonderful place. Delicious.

  2. Number four was just breathtaking. I cannot believe how beautiful the views are – the London Eye, the various bridges, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral, the stunningly powerful and mysterious Thames. How anyone can walk with their eyes to the pavement when faced with such sights, I don't understand!
