Spotted!

Bit of a rotten day for celeb-spotting at London Pride on Saturday (apart from those on stage). So many people were looking for cover from the rain. We made up for it on Sunday though, with two of our favourite men seen up Hoxton way, savouring Shoreditch sunshine and shopping. (Try saying that when you've had as much vodka as we had on Saturday!) Firstly, we saw the BBC's economics correspondent, Evan Davies, in a shop (and we'll leave it at that).

Funnily enough, two of the three of us have met him before, and DID HE REMEMBER US? No, he did not. But then, we didn't speak to him either.

Later, outside the Apostrophe Boulangerie & Patisserie, we realised we were about to park our bottoms next to 'that bloke from Spooks', who I absolutely love, both aesthetically and for his acting. He was also brilliant in The Project; the drama about New Labour.

Unfortunately though, we couldn't remember his real name (Matthew Macfadyen) and I wasn't going to call him 'Tom' from Spooks to his face. My friend R took great pleasure, after the actor left and we moved tables, in telling me the seat was still warm.
