We drove into town and parked at my office then bimbled around Victoria and had dinner at Nando's. A stroll through St James Park and into Trafalgar Square for 7pm. It looked great. The Scissor Sisters stage set-up was classy and used a huge gold picture frame around the stage. Kylie came out to introduce the band and got a HUGE reception. I'm glad Babydaddy has stopped wearing that silly hat but I was also glad that Jake hasn't stopped wearing glittery shiny outfits. There were 10,000 folk in Trafalgar Square but it didn't seem packed. The buildings surrounding the square were flood-lit red and blue in celebration of the evening and naturally there was dancing in the fountains. I'd been streaming the new album for a few days so recognised (and enjoyed) the new stuff but typically people started to chat to each other during the songs they didn't know (a few hard stares is usually enough to shut them up). The evening ended with a riotous 'Filthy' which had everyone dancing and saw the fountains fill with pneumonia bound nutters. We'd had a great evening but my feet were killing me and we had to walk back to Victoria so Duckie was out of the question (plus, it was after 10.30pm and the queue is always massive until midnight). We went home via Brick Lane and had bagels.
