Changes in the East:
Morning View
Shopping Centre in South Road is repopulating the big area vacated by Coricraft with several new, small shops. More are to come.
Wendywood Shopping Centre continues to decline. It has now lost Hilton's Car Sound and the hardware shop.
Kelvin Village Shopping Centre looks good after its minor revamp, with an updated entrance.
However it has lost significant shops including the longstanding pharmacy, the pet shop, and the Halaal butchery.
The Bridge in Buccleuch has some new tenants upstairs.
Reconstruction has started on Sandton Court behind the Shell garage on Rivonia Road opposite South Road.
Changes in the Presidency?
None yet. Keep pushing. Happy Black Friday (SA style) where we go shopping for a new President.
Little Cooks Club writes...
If you are exhausted and burnt out emotionally or physically how can you
expect to effectively care for your family? Your attitude towards ME TIME is important too. Here are some tips to make time for you:
- List the things you enjoy, and schedule time to do them - painting, drawing, reading, taking a walk, gym, sitting in the garden, writing - you choose...
- List the things you want to do and schedule time to do them - a cooking class, the theatre, a weekend away with your spouse or friends...
- Make your bath time your time. 15 minutes in the bath alone with a cup of tea can do wonders.
- Plan a night out with friends or a coffee date - spending time with friends can change your outlook and emotional state.
- Plan a date night with your spouse. Spending quality time with your significant other is important.
Many of the Little Cooks Club franchisees will be hosting holiday classes during the April holidays. Have a look at
their events page.

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
** Pizza Luna, Rivonia Village, Rivonia Boulevard
We decided to revisit this restaurant after a long absence. It was a warm
evening so we sat outside and discovered that they now have a children's play
area. Children were making ample use of this, so parents, it a new venue for you!
We ordered a bottle of Alvi's Drift dry white wine and an Appletiser. Then
mulled over the food options. I chose butter cooked calamari and my partner a
large Gustosa pizza (the only size available). The latter came with lots of garlic,
but not much salami for the price! Sadly the calamari was disappointing
and, despite attempts to attract attention for garlic or anything else, no
response was forthcoming. The wine was good but the service was not.
Prices are now on the high side.

The Importance of Training Your Dog
(From the Absolute Pets newsletter) One of the most beneficial things you can do for your dog is train it. Why is this?
A well-trained and socialised dog is a happy dog: a happy dog makes a happy
owner. This means being able to take your companion for walks without worrying
about aggression towards other dogs, and reducing your dog's tendencies to chew
or damage furniture and the garden. Training can help cement the special bond between dog and owner. It is also fundamental to communication between the two.
From puppy training to agility training, there is a lot to consider. Angus Bradley, Chairman of the Cape Handlers Dog Club, answers
six top training questions in this short article.
Civic: Home Preparation for a Person with a Visual Impairment, Part 3
This is the third of four Home Preparation Tips to Accommodate a Person with a Visual
Impairment, by Jackie Waters of Toastmasters and
hyper-tidy.com: Her home preparation tips will help you make your loved one
with a visual impairment feel more confident and independent (some tips are applicable to the totally blind).
Tip 1 (the Kitchen) was in February.
Tip 2 (the Bathroom) was in March.
Tip 3: Use Contrasting Colours for Mealtime
Mealtime can be much easier for people with
vision impairment when you use contrasting colours for dinnerware, table runners,
placemats, and chair cushions. Contrasting colours make it easier for people with
low vision to locate their utensils and serve themselves food. Opt for solid
colours for dinnerware and place settings because patterns can make it difficult
to distinguish food and can cause confusion. It may be helpful to place a
charger underneath a standard dinner plate to catch spills.
At mealtimes, keep the dining table as simple as possible.
Remove from the table: candles, centrepieces, and other items that are not an
essential part of the place settings. Less clutter makes it easier for people
with visual impairment to identify the essentials, like their glass, plate, napkin, and silverware.
(Final) Tip 4 next month...
