6. What's new pussycat??

There were crowds gathered and a-gawping. There were photographers and cameras galore... Something must be going on me thought ...

It was pretty chilly and my jacket was inside but curiosity got the better of this kitty and I headed off outside. What's new pussycat?

It was Tom Jones "busking" for BBCs The Culture Show on the Southbank - by the river right outside where I work. I had no idea this was happening - well not beforehand anyway!

I can't say I'm a major Tom Jones fanatic - but it was an 'event' it was a 'happening' there was genuine air of excitement and buzz all around. On a cold day in credit-crunch November here was a bunch of people who were entertained and happy. It punctuated what, for me, had been a rather dull,  uninspiring day thus far. I shivered out in the cold just to be a part of it. And I HATE being cold! :-))

But it was spontaneous and energising. A sort of communal high. It's not so unusual for unusual things to happen on the Southbank - it's one of joys of working there.

And it made me wonder about the joys of the new and different and unusual. When you're bored or feeling blue - what might you do that is unusual, that's new?
