That food looks absolutely divine Fiona! We had soup & scones tonight as we have to start rationing whatever supplies we have; the destruction has just been too awful, fortunately our community police forums are very active and we have a good local police station, but, the crowds are dying to get their hands on our suburb.
My son is also one of the patrollers so it's quite a worry!
I don't think I've ever seen such images of destruction happening here in our city, but thank you for your kind words and for holding the fort for Silver Bloggers.
I have been way too preoccupied with this horror and get distracted by hearing of another area being hit plus it's getting closer! My friend @artywink's suburb has already been hit!

Yes it's awful, our community dud some cleaning up today, the looters are still hanging around, the community watch is keeping them at bay. My son in law is head of security in Umhlanga Rocks North of Durban, hadn't had much sleep for a few days. My granddaughter has been stranded at a friend in Amanzimtoti down the south coast since sunday, my son in law is going to fetch her tomorrow. @lizelle keep safe my friend praying for Warren's protection. It is a very worrying time for us all. There is positive side to it, I have seen people of all races come together in the communities and are standing together to protect their community. That is such a good sign. I hope to get back into Hiving soon, just been hectic, we still can't get food from the stores, will try tomorrow again. Keep well and stay safe. Thanks again Fiona for your thoughts. @lizelle my friend, I'm here if you need me.
That is one thing that struck me as well, that the community have actually grown closer even though this horror is going on around us, all races and religions standing together and getting to know one another. My neighbours on both sides have offered basic things like flour & eggs which is unobtainable and I in turn could help them with stuff I had in abundance.
I was going to buy my weekly fresh produce on Monday, not realizing that this thing was already out of control!
We will have to get that veggie garden going but first do something to stop the monkeys from helping themselves!
Thank you my friend, I really miss you!
I miss you too my friend @lizelle .I was really getting myself into deep depression about everything that has been happening around us and getting so fearful. Then I took another look around and saw how the community are standing together also the taxi bosses, how they're protecting the communities, I have hope for our beloved country. All the evil behind this is busy beeing exposed. Stay safe my friend, love you to the moon and back.
Lizelle, you and Cheryl are in our thoughts. I wish there was something we could do. I am glad that the army is moving in and in greater numbers. Stay safe.
Thank you Fiona, let's hope they do become visible as so far they have not been seen in some real hotspots!
We heard a true story today and that came from someone who works in the defence force; them members have gotten into the habit of filling their own vehicles with fuel at the army base, and now that there's an emergency, there is not enough petrol at the army base here in Durban; just totally unbelievable but this guy does not BS!!!
We saw private helicopters today, but not one from the defence force so that is telling a story!
All I can do is shake my head!
Go to bed, Lizelle. Get some sleep. Môre's nog 'n dag.
