Week three, day one, later

Not one cigarette today. Though when my dear friend Daniel started to row the boat on the Serpentine this afternoon, it could easily have been a smoking moment. As it happens, smoking is banned on the Serpentine - because the boats are plastic and they might melt.

We'd met up at Speakers' Corner at three. There wasn't much speaking action - though this fellow had caught someone's attention. He stayed on his soapbox for the duration of the chat, which seemed to be going on for some time.
