Life continues

I took wife, son and three friends to supper. We went to our favourite spot called Wilson's Wharf, which is, as the name suggests on the harbour front. There are a number of restaurants lined along the wharf where some luxury yachts and leisure cruise vessels anchor. You can watch the ships come in to the harbour as well. The modest supper of toasted cheeses and coke all round for 6 people cost R180. On the way back home we passed the spot where a gang of 8 robbers were shot down by the police yesterday. Two passersby were shot as well - one of them critically. Last week two people came into my wife's school and while all the staff were in a meeting, robbed at gunpoint the people who had brought in all the stationery for the pupils. (Waltons, for those of you who know.)

I was glad the whole gang were shot dead yesterday. The police do not take prisoners anymore. The gang had robbed a pension paypoint and made the mistake of firing on the cops - bad mistake nowadays - they are better armed and better equipped with vehicles that they used to be
