Under the Bridge

As winter tightens its icy grip on Johannesburg, many migrant workers from the poorer countries to our north find themselves living under the bridges along the Jukskei River without warmth and food. Although it is already freezing at night it is not the coldest as that is still come.

At BBC in Bryanson we run the Under the Bridge feeding program, the food is not fully nutritional but it fills the belly. This evening was our home group's turn to prepare the food and man the counters. Here is some members of our group preparing the food, from left to right are Doreen, Raymond, Brenda and Pearl. I can honestly say I am very thankful that I have food and a warm bed to go home to because tonight is cold.

A lover not a fighter

This long weekend has been good to me as I can recover from a hectic couple of weeks. I started teaching Maxy to ride on the Vespa with me. We end up at the dog park where Maxy does his usual sniff, greet and if it is a female try his luck. He has earned a reputation as the park rapist as he has had a go at every female dog in the park. I would not go so far as to call him that. I would say he is more of a gigolo, a lover not a fighter. I don’t want to mute him just yet as I want to see if we could get a litter or two from him. This weekend we met up with Damon and his family of four Italian Greyhounds. Here with Matthew, Damon and Lingani are Maxy, Pi, Pippa, Pearl and Puck.
