Shopping and Waiting

Went Christmas shopping today! I'm not usually this organised but trying to spread the cost and get sorted incase the baby decides to arrive before Xmas. Seemed like a lot of other people had had the same idea as town was heaving. I love street shots of people, especially when they're unaware of the camera, but I'm too chicken to take them! However, when you're looking down from the 2nd floor of a shopping centre they can't see you! Looking at this I've just realised I used to work with the guy sitting to the right of the hanging bell.

Saw an anti-cuts/tax avoidance protest going on outside a Vodaphone shop (I could've joined in but I wasn't looking very anti-establishment with my Disney Store carrier bag) .There was a nice moment though, as the protest moved off down the street. A passing girl dropped her hat without realising and the whole march stopped while one of its leaders ran after her to give it back. Not quick enough with my camera to get that one!
