I happened upon these two larrikins the other day because I was early to meet a friend whose home is in the vicinity of the quaintly named, "Gulshan Ladies Park"; and I decided to walk around the jogging track to pass the time. When I saw the miniature fir trees these smiling boys were handling, I stopped short my perambulation to take a closer look. If only I had somewhere to display a tree this year, I would have been rather tempted to acquire one for myself!
I did not encounter any joggers in the park during the rest of my circuit, although I did spot a number of young couples sitting on benches. At the first bench I observed a woman fully covered by black garments sitting next a man, but with a good and careful half-a-metre distance between them. Whereas, further along I sighted a couple casually slumped against each other with arms entwined. In comparison, the walkers on the 'jogging track' tended to be either past the canoodling stage (grandparents), or not yet there (their grandchildren companions).
Happy (and grateful) that I did not fall into either of these groups, I sped around the rest of the track to greet my friend, who by now, was waiting for me by the gate.
