Walking towards me are a youngish couple. 'It's not 2012 yet', says the girl when I stop them to explain my resolution. She is wearing maroon tights and a bright blue coat. Her hair matches her legs.
I have to tell her that it has been 2012 for quite some time. The man cottons on. 'You must be nearly finished then', he says. He is wearing a dark padded coat with a yellow lining. His hair is short and windswept. I tell him that he is right.
'We've got two', says the girl. 'Do you want them both?' The man clarifies. 'Not two each', he says. 'Two between us'. I ask what they are and check the spelling. We all agree that they are good, simple middle names. 'That's what middle names should be', says the girl.
