Things to do

To avoid further binge-watching of US Presidential election coverage, one Spurtle correspondent today opted for a walk in the Botanics.

In no particular order, what follows is what they saw.

1. The usual peppering of young mothers and their little monkeys.

2. A short story on a wall.

3. A keen observer of human nature.

4. A local wag.

5. Vlad the Impaler's idea of a joke.

6. No shit – a way to obstruct weeds and add nutrients to soil.

7. Three alpine enthusiasts.
