Today I started a new schedule, working second shift. I had the morning free. I wish I could have slept in, but no, I woke up before 6:00. To keep up with my walking program, I left the hotel before 9:00 and was at the Embassy to start work at 11:00. It was fun to linger in front of the shop windows on Regent Street without the security guards eyeing me. Most of the shops don't open until 10:00.
On my way home, this sign was prominently featured in Piccadilly Circus. I'm not sure if is meant to be reassuring...or not.
In a complete non-sequitur...the shooting at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin made me think more about the 7-7 Memorial that I went to the other day -- marking the morning of the synchronized bombs in the London transportation system. I had read that it was in Hyde Park, but I wasn't sure where. I stumbled upon it unexpectedly on my way out of the park after the triathlon. It is small, but starkly moving in its simplicity.
