won't let the weather get me down

what a pleasant afternoon i have had, even though it was raining. the latest london adventure involved rather large puppets in trafalgar square.

The Sultan’s Elephant is the story of a sultan from far-off lands and his magical, time-travelling mechanical elephant. Forty feet high and 42 tonnes in weight, this beautiful creature will capture the hearts and minds of everyone who sees it.

i was captured by it! i didn't actually see it move, it was too wet to wait around an hour for the parade back to it's bed, but nevertheless, it was a sight to behold. i may go see them stroll through st. james park tomorrow if the weather perks up a bit. it's apparently taken 2 years to organise and negotiate this street theatre production and i'd like to see it in action.
