it's not over, not over, not over, not over yet

covent garden market stall I was running errands in my lunch break today, and tripped over where they're setting up for the last of Covent Garden's Night Markets for the year. I wasn't all that impressed when I went to the first one - I've been spoiled by Borough Market. I was expecting not having to get up early on a Sunday morning to balance out any reduction of choice, but that turned out not to be the case.

Nevertheless, I might have popped back this evening to the grab some good cheese on my way home if I wasn't going to France tomorrow...

If you're in town and in the area, go, taste, enjoy, indulge, but if you're not, I don't think it's really worth a special trip.

Come and hold my hand

Several folks at my workplace, myself included, subscribe to a police public information bulletin list for central London. Obviously, we're signed up in case there's a major event, but (fortunately) most of the messages are pretty mundane - RTAs and road closed for events; that sort of thing. And sometimes they tell a story.

7.01 pm - Missing : Liverpool Street British Rail Station 6 year old Black Child wearing Blue t-shirt with scooby doo motif blue shorts any info to BTP Liverpool Street Station
9.15 pm - Update to child missing from Liverpool Street Station: the child has been found safe and well.

It's a big city, a big station, and one small child - well - thanks be for happy endings.
