be square

To my delight, this week's The Way We See It website features my backyard, the peaceful little Queen Square. Using the word 'peaceful' just shows you how much I know about the Square. On some occasions rowdy drunkards might invite you to join them for a pint. Maybe due to its proximity I rarely care to notice what's happening within the enclosed space. Actually, the place is not really my backyard per se, but it literally takes me one minute to walk there. Whenever I go to the bookshop, the Senate House, the BL and the Tesco's across Russell Sq. tube station I travel through it. I also recycle newspapers and empty bottles at the recycle bins beside the small park. The Square is well-known for its surrounding hospitals. It might be convenient if I had some nerve-wrecking disease or were a sick kid, but seeing tearful parents crying over their ill children would not be a cheerful sight for the morning.
