The Anonymous Widower

A Man with a Bookcase

Sometimes things just happen that make you smile ever so much.  One such thing happened last night as I made my way home from Oxford on a Victoria Line train to Blackhorse Road, where I had parked my car.

A guy entered carrying a bookcase and as the train was a bit crowded comments were made.  These started to get funnier and funnier and for the five stops he was on the train, there was a lot of jokes and laughter.  The journey moved very quickly.

Here’s a photograph of the guy sitting on his bookcase.

Before he left, I talked to the guy and found he was a photographer called Mario Guarino from Naples in Italy.

This episode made me think of the Roman Polanski short film, Two Men and a Wardrobe.  It was made in 1962 and I think I probably saw it at school.  I hope it is still worth watching!
