Always cheering to see Chelsea and Albert Bridges all lit up!
Dog tired - three meetings, first day out for three days, still overhung with the lurgi.
Ah well, a seat on the train (window seat, with little table). Wonders will never cease!
Haven't been outside the station at Victoria for some time: the whole area is a huge building site, and the Clock has disappeared.
