FEAR AND A BIT OF LOATHING

Back at the shelter, this weekend was fun: one of the ladies had a fight with the cook, and threw water at him - he was soaked. She feels that it was a better option than hitting him which is what she actually wanted to do (of course). They did have a dramatic cat-fighty screaming match.

The new relief supervisor "took" 2 of the 5 chickens sent to us as a donation, and then called a meeting in the church last night where he gave a talk about hope and God and stuff. Steal a chicken and pray.

The amount of drugs being traded in the mens' dorm is staggering and these guys just take anything - anti-psychotics, seizure meds, handfuls of sleeping tabs - there is a healthy trade in prescription meds - the druggies buy them from the crazies (pardon) who get them from the hospital.

Someone is slowly stripping copper from one of the older building doors - I know who it is and I will have to tell. That will make me a "pimp", or as it is pronounced here a "peemp".

The 2 herion addicts are fully back on the stuff and hustling for money all the time.

I've met a cracker killer criminal whose take on life blows my mind - not in a good way. But it's interesting so I'm listening.

I was shouted at again, on both Saturday and Sunday, by the old witch in the bed opposite me for switching the kettle on too early (too early for her). But I can handle her now.

And I've spent a lot of today trawling and exploring the job-market and it is tiring. Odds are so stacked against me. I shall persevere.

Getting my second disability grant is turning into a nightmare that deserves its own post.

I have the world medal in sleeping right through kak movies.

Met a military consultant on Saturday, who said not to worry too much about the SANDF, the more chaos there is the more money he makes. Funny little matchstick man.

Madonna and Shakira's body/hip movements in their music videos shocks me which probably means I'm turning into my afrikaans granny who had the same reaction to Elvis.

I really hope that you are keeping detailed notes there; you have enough fascinating characters for a library of books!!

Sounds like you have a person there from Boesak's church: he collected money for the needy... and then promptly stole it...
:zzz
