The other night, I ventured over to Trafalgar Square to sit on the statue and just enjoy the scene around me. I started by reading a little of the London Evening News, and tried the Sudoku and Crossword puzzles, but then turned to people watching for a while. There were two guys, one about my age and the other around 7, dressed in blue shirts and black sweats, doing synchronized flips off the statue while they're other friend filmed them. I wasn't sure if the little kid could do it at first, but he proved me wrong, landing successfully his first try. The other guy didn't do his part though because of tourists walking in his way. That was a recurring problem for these two, but after about 20 minutes, they were finally able to jump and land together.

I met some other people at the statue too, and talked for a little about our experiences here, and then I started reading Oscar Wilde. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a light, amusing read that was perfectly suited for a chill day in London.
