[Sundae]

Steven's socks drying.
He took them off because they were so wet.

Now much as I have praised the November sun, it simply does not have the bake factor of a summer sun, and they remained wet.
Personally I would have worn them, knowing my feet would get used to it. But he earns enough money to wear shoes without holes, so the phenomenon is unfamiliar to him. After lunch we went straight to one of the drying booths (£3!) and I held one of his socks up to an air vent, and the other to a heat lamp. For the curious, the heat lamp worked better.
