London calling

It has taken me longer than I thought to upload the photos. [Just incase the people at Blogger stumble across this, your new system sucks. Like seriously sucks. I like that I can add more than one, but you have to, have to, have to let me add text below the photo. And I would like to be able to do that without scratching my eyes out in frustration.]

Anyway, as you might have guessed from the list before we went to London for Wimbledon, but we're going to build up to that. So here's the non-Wimbledon photos.

We met Chris Moyles!! He was so nice to us, seeing as we just walked up to him on the street outside Radio 1 as he was having a cigarette. He talked to us for a good couple of minutes, asking us what we were going, where we were from etc etc. I am sure he didn't care at all, but he did a good job of pretending. He's got his arm round Ruth while he hides his cigarette with me. Oddly I respect that, no one needs a cigarette draped round them.
















We passed through Leicester Square and saw the build up to the Eclipse premiere. This was the scene at approximately 11.30am. A good six hours before anything, like anything happened. And none of the main stars were even showing up. Oh you'd have to be keen, wouldn't you?


You don't often see an English knight take a cigarette break. This was rapidly becoming a theme for the day. The cigarettes, not the knights.

Who remembers Due South? I used to love that show. This guy reminded me of him. Think it was his cheekbones. Oh and the hat. And the red jacket. And the boots.

All it takes is a free balloon Canada. It was Canada Day, can you tell?

Me and two people I've never seen before at Buckingham Palace.

 

There were loads of people outside in their fancy outfits. Garden Party! Turned out it was for Princess Anne's 60th birthday. Happy birthday Ma'am.

At the Cuuuube recording. I've never seen it before, but I get the jist from Greg James' The Square. Basically they have to do reasonably simple things but when you're inside the Cube, it's much harder. We were there for the celebrity special. Oh no, don't get excited, we had some woman from Coronation Street that wasn't Deirdre or Rita, the only two I know. Philip Schofield was very nice and professional in between takes and at the end posed for photos. I put one on Twitter, which you can see here where Philip himself retweeted it!

We also saw the filming of one more show, Perfection. It's hosted by Nick Knowles and will be going out on afternoons on BBC2. It's no 'Millionaire', but was cool to see it filmed.

So that's the non tennis stuff. Wimbledon is coming next. If Blogger allows it.
