some like it slightly cooler

In the weeks to come these places will become more and more important; some fry themselves in the open spaces amongst the babbling hordes, gasping and sweltering in the fetid air exhaled thrice by buses, tourists and the overheated spew-strewn pavements. Other wiser souls seek the stone-chilled air and peace of nooks and shadows.

My solar spectacles broke today. I thought I was doing really well to have the same pair for the third year running. If anyone sees a teenyweeny little screw somewhere between Rutland Square and William Street then it's mine. I bought some new ones in the meantime but they look a little odd. Perhaps it is because they would not have looked at all sensible with my proper hair although they are passable with it short.
