Tweni Talk: Beached whale attracts a crowd
Some came purely to get food and others out of curiosity.
LAST week’s beached whale at Oslo Beach received a lot of attention and masses of people went to the beach for different reasons. Some came purely to get food and others out of curiosity. A traditional healer harvested the teeth and when Kyle Solomon arrived on the scene, he was allowed a closer look.
Successful sales
The Muddy Boots car boot sale was a great success once again and thank goodness the weather played along. It was very hot and sunny at 8am and then the clouds brought welcome relief, but even though rain threatened, it held off.

Sad situation
Residents woke up to service delivery protest action on Monday morning this week. The organisers are hurting workers who, most likely, will suffer a loss of earnings when they do not pitch up for work. Not to mention the damage caused to roads by burning of tyres.
Test your alarm
It is advised by local security companies that people test alarms twice a month. Phone and advise the company that you are going to do the test and then hit the panic button or whatever you would normally do in an emergency situation. While Tweni has had a relatively quiet time crime-wise recently, you never know.
