Most surprising (as in unexpected) sight so far during this bout of hot weather...

I was walking along Lendal on Saturday en route to the library when a girl strode past me - a young thing, really pretty and really confident about it - head up, arms swinging, the works. Men were looking at her. Then I realised why. She was wearing a rucksack which was rucking her short skirt up at the back. And she wasn't wearing any knickers.

All those males must have thought it was every birthday they'd ever had rolled into one. Poor love would have been mortified if she'd known. I was just about to go and catch up to her when somebody told her and the poor girl looked as if someone had suddenly put a belisha beacon on her head. You could have seen her from space.
