Things I saw on my way to work this morning...

A man in a black shirt and striped tie carefully carrying a large flower arrangement along the platform at Reading station. It was made of pink carnations, and shaped like a crucifix. A small plastic holder held a message card.

A smartly-dressed lady with spirally-curled hair staring at the departure boards. What she saw made her look terribly worried.

A teenaged girl standing on the escalator with her eyes closed. Her bright purple headphones were vibrant against her dyed red-orange hair.

A middle-aged man in beige slacks dancing to The Supremes as he lovingly polished his extremely elderly and decrepit Jaguar.

A possible, if sad, explanation for the flowers is that they were a funeral tribute to a breast cancer victim.
Departure boards - the old one at New Street (pre varifocal lenses) was too high for reading specs, too near for distance ones. It was worrying.

You can't hurry love, Phil Collins.
