I like the light that comes off metal shutters at siesta time in the summer, having a break from driving in the shops at motorway services, the odour of petrol at petrol stations, rolling down little slopes. I hate it when you tread in a puddle and the water soaks your socks. ↗

They had certainly exasperated them, and could not disperse them, as after every charge - and some of these drove the people right against the shutters in the shops in the Strand - they returned again. ↗

When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration. ↗

Never boss people around. It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter. ↗
