Gentlemen start your agreements

Do gentlemens agreements still exist? How many gentlemen are there? In the old days you'd do deals with handshakes; your word was your bond. Do you call in favours or wait for the other to offer? You sometimes have to write it off in a world of chancers. Give something back to the world. I'm so grateful for all that is good in life. The appreciation of what i put out there.

Blue coastal sky in Southend yesterday, the water gently rippling, calm lapping sounds, clearing urban toxins with each breath. Met up with a chatty friend before taking the train back to Fenchurch St; carriage was empty but other end a sea of commuters waiting to do the reverse leg. Walked from there to a birthday in London Bridge; people coming and going there as in life.
