Stockwell mouse

Recently had to work on a Sunday. There was heavy drizzle so used the Northern Line from Stockwell. Running down the escalator had to step over a dead mouse stuck in the last step.

Two men on the 319 to Clapham Junction

Two men sat together on the 319 from South Kensington Station to Clapham Junction. They didn't say a word until the man nearest the window got off outside Debenhams. "Have a good weekend" he said....they clearly knew each other.

Self-tattooed man on the northern line

I saw this man asleep as soon as I got on the train, he was wearing a white nylon tracksuit and had his hands folded over his bulky belly. He had several self inked tattoos including one that said "Dee" written at an odd angle down his thumb. I hesitated before taking out my sketchbook as he appeared to stir often and looked slightly dangerous. I overcame the possibility of him waking to find me staring intently at him by drawing into my sketchbook which had been carefully placed inside my handbag. I figured I could shut it in there if I needed to make a fast getaway.
