It's stormy, there's tube strike mayhem, Fulham can't win a match and the manager looks constipated, Garry Monk is considered better than Laudrup and the imperious Kevin Pietersen has been unceremoniously sacked by a very average ex wicketkeeper.

So they've thought of everything there; catering, events. As i left a chap outside said on his phone 'I'm flying to Dubai tomorrow'.
Went from Earls Court to Woolwich for some filming. I saw a beautiful view; sunny skies over Canary Wharf, the o2, cable cars, Thames Barrier. From London City Airport there were flights to Nurembourg, Luxembourg. Went on the Woolwich Ferry for the first time as day became evening. Had some pre filming stodge as i averted dusk descending hoodies. The filming itself was short and lively; you can be happy with you have and is more finite than you think. I was able to meet up with a friend in Woolwich Arsenal; my sister in Guys Hospital said to visit tomorrow.
