#today started with a man in our neighborhood breaking down in tears because of how terribly his employer is treating him, and financial hardship he's suffering as a result.

Today ended with a lot of our neighbours donating grocery items and money to give him a huge care package with basic items as well as some nice treats for him and his son.

And I don't live in a well off neighborhood. People are awesome.

We're also going to sort out his employment situation. Enough is enough.

The gloves are officially off.

Things I saw #today

An old man, covered in blurred tattoos (prison? army?) buying a pancake.

Two women laughing at a dog barking mournfully at them from a car. Each woman had her baby strapped to her back by a blanket wrapped tightly round her.

So far #today I've seen:

A patch of fish scales on a wooden railing, left there by a kingfisher wiping its beak.

A gap in a wooden walkway over water, bridged by a spiderweb.

A budgie trying to drink tea from a cup and being annoyed that it's hot.

A dog noticing its person smiling at me.

Beginning and end of my trip to my psychiatrist #today. #CapeTown has many faces.
