three loners

we are following a routine now, for a change... once dinner is over, we head towards the Corniche for a walk... it is hot, no doubt, but not unbearable... so one hour of walking after dinner is what we are doing...
once we park, we become three separate units... R and me with our respective iPods, water bottles in hand and B, with a stealthy smoke... we start off from opposite the Emiri Diwan... and we are not the only apparently fragmented family... many Doha-ites are there at that hour, recapitulating the day, strategising the next... it is only the younger lot that fawn over each other, hold hands and coo in each other's ears...
for all the sweat that we work up, it is great to get back to the car...
the only ones who keep working overtime in this heat are the sprinklers alongside Corniche... so when after a quick bath, i hit the bed, R commented, "the sprinklers are still spraying water so that we can see the patch perfect"...
my feeling lil girl...
