Watching the paraolympics in Trafalgar Square

Blog posts have been very sparse...
This morning we went to Borough markets for breakfast. Incredibly crowded.
London. Summer. Olympics. That is all there is to it.
So many bloddy tourists. I recognise the irony of this. I don't know how the locals handle this number of tourists. And ludo said I complain so no more complanining.
There was beautiful food at Borough markets (including lots of gluten free baked goods for mel)! London has such close ties with so many European countries- so the food is much better than they have at Australian markets. I will be such a pumpkin when i return.
Then we went across to picadily circus, oxford st and bond st for more shopping. Yes more. Can never get enough.
Trafalgar square had a big screen showing the paraolympics and we watched, along with a huge crowd. Its strange sitting with people who are not cheering for your team (no I only support England in the cricket nothing else).
 It really is a good time to be in London, the atmosphere is very exciting. They then started a concert when the olympic coverage finished. Hmm...its hard to describe the music but like cheesey sing along mexican... I totally wanted to stay but I was outvoted.
We then went across to the Angleic a pub in Angel where Jess lives for dinner. lol. Great names.
