telephone call in the garden

 Walk in the museum park whilst making a telephone call, there are sculptures placed in the park. They are all by Fritz König, the museum was set up by him and is now named after him. Sit on the pedestal of one of the sculptures, talk, listen, and think. There is a break in the conversation, check a few details on the camera. Then the conversation resumes, the partner had to deal with a matter on her land line.

Two girls wander across the park and sit down on the other side of the sculpture's pedestal. They start to talk loudly and giggle a lot. Get up and move out to the centre of the lawn. There is a long and low sculpture on the other side of the lawn, eight more girls are now sitting upon that and singing. This is a bit unreal.

Continue with the phone call, as another group of girls arrive in the park. It seems to be a school outing of some kind, they are all very lively. Decide that it is time to leave the sculpture garden, and upon leaving, look back. The group on the long low sculpture are still singing, slapping their thighs in time. One of the girls has rolle over onto her stomach, and is having her backside slapped by the ones to the right and to the left of her. This is ridiculous. This is silliness that has almost gone beyond high spirits.

Leave the garden, and finish the phone call.
