Ever Had a Blue Day?

Lining the south bank of the Thames between the London Eye and the Royal Festival Hall is a lovely stretch of treed walkways and a dozen or so street performers in colourful costumes. Each performer maintains absolute stillness (sometimes to the point that you sometimes wonder if they're real live persons or not) until they hear the telling clink of coins hitting the bottom of the cash tin, which begins a short performance, no more than 10 to 20 seconds at most. The children are especially entranced and tug at their parents' sleeves, requesting coins, edging up quietly and a little fearfully, dropping in their money, and quickly dashing back to safety before the frozen performer begins to move. Kinda like real live wind-up toys. :)

I could never do this kind of work....I can't sit still for much more'n three seconds.

Listening to: Take It Easy on Me (Little River Band), on iTunes radioioSeventiespop.
Plans for the day: Collect scholarship and grad school paperwork in preparation for sending off reference requests to tutors and teachers.
