Man eating breakfast
5th July Hyde Park Hilton 9.48am

Old guy at breakfast ate with the knife skills of a surgeon, carefully rotating his plate making precision scalpel cuts into sausage and bacon, his beard was the colour of a rain cloud, I didn't believe his hair was still naturally jet black, his wife touched his shoulder numerous times, but they never spoke.
