A tan's a tan for a' that

My, it was good to see the sun again today. But I would've needed to spend more time soaking it up to worry about getting burnt.

The fine weather seemed to have brought out a few characters on Bernard Street. One particularly over-refreshed soul kept bellowing at passers-by, apparently full of love for the whole world.

He wove his way along, stopping to make new friends; and every time he'd stop, he'd put his shopping down on the pavement. He'd then stumble on again until someone would point it out to him, and he'd have to go back and pick his bags up.

It took him a very long time to walk along the street.
