Stuart and I didn't do much Christmas shopping this year, but we went into the centre today to have a look at the lights and see some paintings and have tea and all those thing people do when they're being lazy in a constructive kind of lazy way. Some parts of the shopping district were heaving, but most of it was fairly quiet. We got two big trays of sushi at the Japan Centre for £5 and had a picnic on Berkeley Square. (Relevant theme song to make the photos more atmospheric)
