Near miss with Madonna

Well, despite a couple of slow walks past the movie set downstairs today, yet again I didn't see Madonna. Annoyingly, Matthew at work went downstairs to get a coffee for a meeting, and saw her buying brownies at a stall in the Friday markets. Here's one of the pics he took on his phone. I work just around the corner behind Madonna. She looked small and old evidently. All the papparazzi around the place were hilarious. Some guy with an enormous camera came up and asked us where "she" was, and Elize (somewhat optimistically) asked him to email his photos to her. Evidentally he couldn't, but only because the photos "go straight to the office"...

On the way home tonight, Mark and I also stopped by Trafalgar Square, where to promote tourism in the "villages" surrounding the city, they had laid turf all over what's normally a concrete surface in Trafalgar Square. It was kind of cool, but a bit underwhelming overall - they'd already started to take it up when we were there, and it was only covering the central bit and already starting to go a bit brown where people had walked the most. I took a pic on my mobile, but don't think I can get it off the mobile and onto the laptop right now, so will have to post it later.
