After yesterdays aborted attempt things worked out a lot better today. One hour to Sloane Square, not bad. I didn't have anything to read so I thought I'd look around and see what my fellow travellers were doing, can't look out of the window on the underground! As ever some odd things going on amongst commuters. Bloke opposite was reading the 'Metro' of the woman next to him, even though he had exactly the same paper. She glanced at his paper at which point he moves his paper so close to his face his virtually wearing it. Later two women get on the train. Plenty of empty seats but they choose to stand. Two stops later all seats are taken. Then when someone stands up one of these two women shouts "ooh there's a seat. Sit down you need it". The other replies, equally loudly, "But what about your poor knees? You need it more than me." Why'd they not sit down in the first place? Maybe they had a hidden camera and were trying to prove how people don't give up their seats for women. Could be they just like trying to make people feel guilty.
Later, walking through St. James's Park I came across a pelican sitting on the foot path. This pelican was surrounded by people staring at it. The pelican stands up, takes a step and all these people run around screaming. Have I missed the 'Killer Pelican' headlines that warranted this reaction?

On to Soho and a quick pint, then home. Load the pictures on to the laptop and run them through Lightroom. Adobe have got Lightroom working nicely now it's live. Was so slow in Beta, but the live version is brilliant and it was free!
Got some photos today - Horse Guards,

Sloane Square Station and the "pelican that terrorised St James's Park" - how brave of me.
