Elbow patches.

From the same time as the previous woman, Soho Square, next bench along.

A group of guys were standing around, drinking beer, and laughing a lot.

But up-market, with his elbow patches and edwardian whiskers, not your usual London square meths drinkers. Had the feeling they were warming up before going to a wedding or something.

You don't see many elbow patches these days, not outside of Universities anyway. Not such consciously styled ones.

But then my finger was never on that particular pulse.

She moved.

Was taken by this woman sitting on a bench, chatting to her friend...

But every time I started her in one position, she shifted her whole body into another one, and again, and again. She was so animated, leaning forward, then back, smoking, fiddling with her bag... finally waving to someone across the square who joined them, before they all left.

Hyper-something I'd say.

Thought I would have to abandon her, but then caught this one pose. Did have to close my eyes and complete it by memory as she was up and halfway down Dean Street before I could finish.

Liked her boots.
