When you are on the other side of the world, the things that you took for granted take on a different importance, the things you'd forgotten come crashing back and the things that you love amplify themselves to a fever pitch! However, not everything is beautiful, not everything is great and not everything can be forgiven. Such is the life of a Flâneur...

The art of being an English Gentleman (Pt 2)
Wake up late, arrive early. Stout brogues, appropriate suit, shirt and club tie. Follow the form in the first four races, don't bet on the 5th race, finish 3rd bottle of Champagne, move on to crispy white, bet heavily on 6th race, collect winnings. Get train back into city, go to regular dimly lit previously smoky haunt, regale bright young things with tales of derring do. Arrive home late, wake up late, order bright young thing a taxi, fix stiff drink and sit outside in the garden watching the world spin by.
