Too many distractions.

"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."— Samuel Johnson .

The run this morning was surprisingly eventful - we initially stumbled on a Harley Davison fashion shoot in Smithfield Market.



This was followed by watching some really big lifting gear in action ...





... and then some piano playing near the wobbly bridge ...



The final preparations for the plinth were being made but we were unsuccessful in the ballot to stand on it so our plan to send up 60 rockets in 60 minutes will have to wait for another occasion.



We finished off with a trip round the new Smithfield Butchers shop with a detailed discussion on knives ...



And finally back to the fashion shoot ...



Whew - time now for a long lay down.
