I grew up with my parents in a shared terrace house with my uncle’s family. I remember my cousin got a spanking for drawing on the wall with her mother’s lipstick.
There was a fight between my mother and a non blood related aunt. My mother almost got donged on the head with a frying pan, and a knife was drawn up in the air before my uncle stepped in and broke it up. My relatives eventually got their own home, we visited each other, had parties together, until everyone grew apart, and now, we don’t see each other at all.

My brother and I. Mom had just finished cooking dinner. I confronted my brother over some valuable items I had, that had gone missing. His face & eyes turned to rage & he threw a bowl of ravioli over my head. He did a lot of shit. He moved up north. The closest I ever got to my brother since, was when my mother died. We text each other on festive days. I’m not sure if I’ll ever make the 336 km trip to go see him. It may be the same way with him.

A helicopter was flying around my neighbourhood for the last 15min. Occasionly they do, gives me thoughts of a robbery, vandalism or another illegal tobacco shop firebombed.etc. Once, the police and their dog came to our front door at 6 in the morning. They were looking for an intruder who had broken into a car in a nearby street, and it was possible the intruder jumped our front fence, and hid in our backyard. The police came in and their dog sniffed a guy out
who was hiding in our van in the garage. The front garage door was locked. Ha ha, he couldn’t get out. About 2 weeks earlier, I had pruned a big spiny bush and left the cuttings over the front fence which I cleared a week later. If I have left it for another week, the intruder would have gotten spiked bad. He was lucky he just got taken away in a police van. It maybe a bit sadistic of me, but it’s there, I wish the intruder had gotten spiked.
