It is cheering to see the floral clock in Victoria Square sporting a smiley face. Usually, the planting is a bit uninspiring and old fashioned, which you’d expect with this kind of floral display. Some cheerful gardeners have come up with a new look.
I saw another cheerful piece of art in a mall this afternoon.
Similarly cheering, are the first flowers on a kowhai tree at my sister’s house.
Put on a Happy Face was written by Lee Adams (lyrics) and Charles Strouse (music). Here’s a taste:
And if you’re feeling cross and bitterish
Don’t sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you’ll feel fine
Watch Dick van Dyke perform it – with smiley faces – on YouTube here (there’s tap dancing).

I guess the clock doesn’t need to give the time now that most people carry a smartphone.
