i see sandra (from the blinds factory across from our old shop-fitting workshop) again when i drop by the cosmetics warehouse next to basil's old factory shop for nail polish. she's expectant & as exuberant as ever ... the old premises is now a mechanics' shop & next-door which use to be the old german's shirt factory shop is now an office of eskom-sponsored solar powered geyser sales reps.

burn gutenberg library freebies @ the capegateway freedom toaster in town : 'alice in wonderland'; 'the art of war' etc. ...

i run into chimezie, who stops his car as my mother & dion pull up to pick me up in front of the cape cookies factory. in the car back from town, my mother says i have a fear of failure holding me back from ventures... we drive by the hellfire hire van parked by a theatre space.
