Celeb Sighting

[Anthony Simon]

So I was coming out of my front door today...I was going to do what I usually do before I go out on my bike in the evening - cross to the other side of road and see what the temperature was like so I could wear the right amount of (non-CD) clothes.

But, before I did that, I had to wait for a stream of cyclists to go past. The second one I did a double take on. Isn't that Eddie Izzard (one of the two British celeb CDs, the other is Grayson Perry) on a hire bike, I thought? And, as she got closer, yup it was.

I think she was dressed for comfort - kind of androgynously but wearing makeup - foundation, lipstick etc. I said, smiling, "You're famous" and she replied "How Are You?" (also with a smile). And that was the end of the engagement.
