Leila’s Lane: Now is the time to dig deep
We are living in trying times and one has to think out of the box.
Bouquets to Kerry Massey and Buthiza Jela of Southport Nursery who took the time to cut back the bushes on the side of the R102 at the Melville intersection. Visibility for motorists was becoming increasingly limited, making the road more dangerous to drive on.
Delivery of food from restaurants and takeaways has begun, naturally there is a rush on everyone’s part to get a piece of the pie, so to speak. Experiences have been good and bad.

Lockdown haircuts are happening at home.

We are living in trying times. The challenge of how to make money, for the average man or woman in the street, is exciting. One has to think out of the box.

The crime rate has subsided, touch wood, your head or anything else that will help to keep the statistics down. But also do not leave your gates, garage doors and windows open. If you do want to be generous, support organisations like South Coast Hospice and the SPCA. Living Word Hibiscus Church is handing out food parcels when and where possible, but needs support as the demand is growing. Charity does begin at home but if you can spare something, sharing is caring.
Stay safe everyone. News to Leila at 082 3761853.
