Along about now seemed like a good time to sit down with a glass of wine and watch the world go by. I can't remember now whether I had the thought and then spotted Porters or spotted Porters and then had the thought. I sat at the middle table there on the edge.

If you're thinking why would anyone want to sit outside on a cloudy, chilly day on an unlovely stretch of street and watch (not the world) but the traffic go by, then maybe you're just not cut out for this urban life. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
