One of my favourite sports - as regular readers will know - is people-watching. I indulge in this while eating out at restaurants, at airports, in shopping malls, well, nearly everywhere I can snoop on unsuspecting folk. I check out the latest fashions, eavesdrop on conversations to get inspiration for this column, and try and spot the latest social mores while I am at it.
Of late, though, I find that I have the most fun people-watching when I am on my daily walks. As I wander through, eyes hidden behind my sunglasses, I can take in every interaction of strangers without them being any the wiser. And when you have your AirPods in without the music turned on, the most amazing snippets of conversations waft by as you stride along - I can't tell you how much fun it is filling in those blanks.
