tuesday morning, and a celebrity sighting...

I had a very low key weekend - the tube was out at our station due to engineering works, so it was a good excuse to stay local. I checked out the Chiswick Public Library (no pun intended!), and went to Khanh's for brunch on sunday.

Today, tuesday, I went to King's Waterloo campus to attend a course (how to be a real supervisor), and I was early enough that I could take my time and walk along the Embankment and take some pics. This was my view of the Thames this morning...both St Paul's and Westminster a little fogged out....

In one of life's amazing little quirks, I sat next to a girl at the course who used to work at Melb Uni! So we had a good old natter about home, and being away.

At midday I headed back to towards work (in slow motion, as the blessed sun was out!), and just as I was about to take the stairs up to cross Waterloo Bridge, I walked past Jeremy Irons!!! A real celebrity! He had a hat low over his eyes, and a (yiky) 'tash - and I only noticed him because a young girl, obviously embarrassed, was having a feisty tug-of-war with her mother saying "muuuum....no don't"! I think her mum wanted to accost poor Jeremy - but I didn't stick around to see who won!
