I finally managed to recover all my files that were on the hard disk of my dead laptop, thanks to a very nice person in ITS. As a result, I spent the remainder of Monday looking through all the photos from my camera, many of which I'd forgotten I even had.

Given the current weather conditions, I thought it'd be nice to post a few photos back from August, when the days were long and it was quite warm indeed.

I took these photos one Saturday, when I had nothing to do, and so decided to take a wander around London and take a look at the things that you don't normally notice when rushing about from place to place.

I walked down into the City, across Tower Bridge, along the South Bank until I had to go meet Michael and Suhas at Trafalgar Square. We sat there and had lunch, listening to the steel band that was playing, and watching the dancers.

When that finished, we walked down Whitehall and across Horseguards to Westminster. I kept stopping to take photos.

It's strange that some of your best memories can involve actually not doing all that much.
