A Giant Watermelon

7 Sept 08 - Recently, the Corner has been a big dust ball. The exterior of our block is being repainted, and that has left a layer of dust and paint flakes all over the corridors and floors. Unsuprisingly, the dust has also invaded the Corner, leaving us with dusty feet and triggering frequent bouts of sneezing for me.

As a result, Her Royal Majesty and I have not been venturing anywhere near the windows as these areas are, naturally, the worse affected. So it was with some surprise when I took a peek out of the living room windows and saw what seems like a giant watermelon on the ground level:



Apparently, it's a new fitness corner. This took the place of a small garden feature which was designed to look like the yin-yang symbol. I guess the town council probably wants us to be less meditative and work out more instead. Well, it's good that the neighbourhood aunties have one more place to hang out at, and maybe, they will switch to doing chin ups instead of line dances. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
