Trafalgar Square

Stopped for a look round it yesterday, for the first time since the
roadworks have been finished. It's a bit good, isn't it? Actually feels like
a proper world square now, instead of a road junction that happens to have a
guy stood on a pole in the middle of it. An Irish friend of mine said
something similar, and mentioned that when he'd first been there five years
ago he'd been disappointed at how uncivilized it was.

Just thought I'd break things up a bit by saying something nice about this
place...

Best,
Jonn

They've made 'em shorter to save space :-)
