While walking away from the centre of Cardiff yesterday we were approached by a guy with a beard. He wore a check shirt, a hat and had wild eyes. He started a conversation "do you like the daffodils?" When we affirmed that we did like them he continued "look at the variation," as he pointed in the direction of the flowers, "they're lovely and most people don't notice them...look, the variation." I asked him where he was heading and he said he was off to get some cider, "do you drink?" I told him I didn't and he said "good for you, I drink, but I'm not an alcoholic." The the lights changed and we began to cross the road - "one last thing" he said, "God bless."
