Popped into the city centre yesterday. Glorious day, plenty of shoppers and visitors in town (it may have been Supercross day – not sure. What struck me most was there were plenty of really talented and enthusiastic buskers around.
Elderly chap near Caroline Street (if you’re a visitor, you must try a Caroline Street chicken curry off the bone from Dorothy’s – it’s a tradition), anyway, this gentleman was singing his heart out. Whatever he had for breakfast, I’ll take two.

Yes, let’s hear it for the buskers. They’re the soundtrack to the city.
