Lots happened today

It was as if there's no tomorrow.

Just outside my house, there's the Coin Street Festival. Lots of performances.

While walking along the Southbank, there was a book launch by Terry Pratchett. I suspected something amiss when there was an unusually long queue at the Foyles book shop.

Even though I didn't know who that guy on the table signing autographs was, a quick search on Wikipedia revealed that he was the best selling author in the country in 1990. He is a British fantasy, sci-fi and children's book author. I asked my housemate and she instantly associated him to "Discworld".

I also knew there was a Thai Festival happening in Trafalgar Square. So I went for a visit.

This is probably the most hygienic Thai food I've ever witnessed!

There was some sort of an event hijack in Trafalgar Square as well. Up the sky, the RAF was in action when the Thai festival was going on. The planes were basically streaking and screaming across the Square. If this were a conversation between two people, you'd probably say, "How rude!"

I don't know if they were practicing for an event or rehearsal for a show since George Bush will be in London today.

At another corner in the Square was a demonstration by Kyrgyzstan and Cuban activists. So much were happening here.

Not too far from the Square in Hyde Park Corner, a group of cyclists were staging a naked protest against the use of car and oil. The event was called World Naked Bike Ride. Thousands of them gathered and cycled around the city in nude. I call it a demonstration of love for nature that is not skin deep but deeply in skin!
