Walk in park

Now that I am broke, I have to get creative and find activities which do not involve money; like more baby-sitting.

Well, God is kind or perhaps to reward me (as I like to comfort myself) for putting warm food on the table of some poor kids (Wah lau, if the bugger spent it on gambling or cigarettes, may his digits rot and drop off and as to which ones, I will leave to your imagination), HE gave me beautiful weather today. It was sunny for the whole day. The air was clear and crisp.

Fyen suggested taking Kit out for a walk in the park. We entered what looked more like woods to me. The paths were muddy and covered in a blanket of yellow, orange leaves. Did not look like a place to wander around alone. Nevertheless the scenery was charming in its naturalness. There was a brook running along with mandarin ducks paddling away happily. An old man leaned over the bridge, solitude in his fishing. Kit's mum

A mother and her daughtered stopped by our pram to enjoy Kit and to have a short chat. A couple of black guys with an alsatian stopped to chat with a mother taking her baby and her golden retriever for a walk. Hmmm..so here is a way to make new friends. *grin* Might be tricky if yours is a cat.


After some distance, we arrived at a proper park with mowed grass and swings. By then, Kit has been lulled into sleep by the uneven motion of the pram. We didn't stop to play but simply breathed in the colours and leisurely strolled on home.
