On Friday night I went to a Vivaldi Concert at St, Martin-in-the-Fields performed by the Festive Orchestra of London. It was very, very hot on Friday. Before the concert I had dinner at the cafe in the Crypt downstairs. I know it is a crypt and dead people don't need air-conditioning, but it was unbearably hot. Everyone who worked there was surly and bad-tempered and I don't blame them. I am going to go back to take pictures when it is cooler.

The concert was very good and the two soloists: Adrian Chandler on violin and Martin Feinstein on the recorder were fantastic. They were all performing under difficult conditions (because of the heat) and there was a lot of extra tuning (again the heat) and a program change because of a broken string.

After the concert we had a drink in Soho at an outdoor cafe. By then it had cooled down considerably however I was still very happy to see my pint of Guinness.

The pictures were taken in Trafalgar Square. Don't worry they had just washed the pidgeons with anti-bacterial soap. And in case you were wondering I asked their parents if I could take their pictures. They said ok, I think they are kind of ok with everything.
