Sing those melancholy blues, man.

caddymanI can't see it from the window, but the noise outside suggests that a Blue Whale has washed up on Victoria Street, and is calling for its mate.
It is a lonely, melancholy sound, and it echoes between the buildings and through the traffic.
It would be a sight to see, this Blue Whale, navigating the lights on Parliament Square, and making its way stately and serenely north, towards Trafalgar Square. It would head ultimately, I think, for the Telecom Tower and its revolving platform, which would give it a panoramic view over much of London, from which it could espy its mate.
Of course, Blue Whales are not small things, but nevertheless the canyons formed by the taller buildings in the City itself might yet mask its location. But then, the inevitable crowds and traffic backlogs would help our lonely beau identify his target from his tower-top perch.
But it's gone quiet now, and only the sound of regular traffic is audible through the glass. Maybe these whales have found each other, and do not need to rendezvous atop the Telecom Tower.
Probably just as well. It's close to rush hour.
