Fine and dandy

On the day: 
25/01/2013 

On the way: 
Brown brogues, red socks, grass green skinny jeans so tight you can see the shape of his empty right front pocket, burgundy Christmas jersey with a string of snowflakes in greens and yellows from shoulder to shoulder, a woollen sports jacket the blue-grey colour of a stormy sea, a silver watch peeking from the right sleeve, from the left, the hand with the heavy silver ring on his middle finger, two leather wristbands declaring allegiance: 'Jack Wills' and Back to 'Jack'. 
He slouches with a studied casual grace, framed by the doorway at the front end of the carriage.
And to top it all, a lofty blond quiff. Who says the academic dandy is dead? 
He continues to text message with his right hand, and clean his nose assiduously with the brutally bitten thumb of his left. 

On the pod: 
Maybe An Angel - Heather Nova
