 Smoke break, surrounded by rubbish: from left Ane Niwinska, Michael Piri and Rosemary Hunter, with her Skyla on her lap, and in front little Lerato and Kgauhelo Buthelezi, and the regular cleaner-upper Emma Hartman.
We've reported two broken drains and also some building rubble on the pavement - and had a brunchy breakfast with loads to drink afterwards at La Trocadero. So sorry you've missed out on the fun...
Maybe all should take a page out of the book of Mark Petzer, one of our residents. He said in the Forum: "Sorry could not join you on Sunday for the
clean-up, but did see the team in Innes St. I make sure that the
pavements outside our place in St. Georges Rd are always clean and
regularly pickup rubbish on the corner of Innes and St. Georges. If we
all did this it would be a big improvement. I think that the attitude
of "well I didn't throw it down so why should I pick it up" needs to
change before this will happen.
Or follow the advice of Rachel Stewart of Mons Road. She has a regular homeless man who knocks on her door once a month - and her solution is simple: she hands him a bag, he cleans up her pavement, and then she rewards him.
Or follow Carol Milner's advice: "It's PEOPLE who litter." Pick up and clean up - even if it's NOT your rubbish and maybe then some residents DON'T have to slave to try and keep our suburb clean(er).
Must apologise for the sharp focus - the reading glasses stayed at home...
 Full of flu, but Michael Phiri of the Observatory Garden Services pitched in - with Carine's hat to help against the hot sun.  After action... Malcolm Ball relaxes with his two daughters.  Kgauhelo Buthelezi enjoys something cold with Rose being all coy for the camera.
