Sticks and stones

Today, finally, I was interviewed by the police in regards to that accident I witnessed a few posts down. The boy was fine in the end, apparently, but the driver of the speeding car is being sued for 60,000 rand worth of damages. Suits him right.

Accidents is not a happy topic, however, as I come in yesterday to the office to meet a very distressed Paul. His son had been hit by a minibus outside his school in a hit-and-run and mangled up his right arm badly. He was in surgery today, and Paul and his wife, Lucy, are naturally beside themselves. Let's hope for Jamie's speedy recovery.

In other news, tomorrow is press day - again! Where do the weeks go? I'm in good shape for an early finish. But then I said that last time. This time there might be a graphic on the front page. How exciting!
