He was all of 70 with age freckles and a jaundiced shade to a weathered tan. His ears long, left lobe emphasised with not one but two medium sized "curtain ring" style pierced ear-rings which prompted me to ponder the question...
What will the younger generation 18 to 25 age group of 2010 be wearing and looking like in terms of accessories/hair styles in 2040?
I couldn't help but to continue with my observation as I'd started. The ear-rings had heightened my curiosity. His silver hair was balding at the top. The back of his neck was mapped with lines whilst there were sagging folds to the front. His beige hoodless anorak was in keeping with his cream-tinged set of dentures, on show as his side silhouette came into view. Bulky PVC trainers, jeans and t-shirt, thick lenses spectacles finished off his desired look.
This was such a contrast to the woman of a similar age that took my attention last week, who was well presented, seemed of a good standing, appearing practical and honest. She had short, straight, silver hair that was layered against her evenly tanned, make-up free face. She did not appear materialistic, wore no jewellery, was very alert to other passengers and readily exchanged a smile. Her grey, soft cardigan could only be cashmere.
After departing my home-bound bus, I soon walked beneath a large magnolia tree with a sprinkling of its petals shed under foot like enlarged confetti. The blades of grass along the verge stood tall towards the blue cloudless sky that was dispersing brilliant sunlight, beckoning me to be quick to down tools.
