Wotcher cock

Farcical start to the day when I ended up on the wrong train going to work (I usually drive) then got mud all over myself so had to wait for Next to open and buy something to wear ... funny day in the office everyone in a very good mood.

Went up to town - met TSM and the Dizzle on the South Bank, a jug of Pimms outside the Festival Hall (have done that so many times this summer).

The Dizzle headed back to Surrey to go ice skating. TSM and I walked over to the National Portrait Gallery to see the annual BP portrait exhibition - very good although TSM said it was better last year. Did a circuit of St James Park, popping in to the Institute of Contemporary Arts which is still stuck firmly in the pretentious denim intellectual world of the late 1970s if the bookshop is anything to go by. Had coffee and treacle tart in  the cafe before walking back to Waterloo across Westminster Bridge via Trafalgar Square. That's where we saw the big blue cock.

Note - Yo Sushi now do burgers. Can't wait to try one.
