The Father sent me this email yesterday (punctuation his):
"Hi. I must tell you this quickly. About 07:30 this morning, one of the lesser-known-rough-sleepers came to Willow House asking if there was any chance of a cup of coffee. I said to him, that if he waited until 08:00 he could have breakfast. He then asked where I was from and I said: "South Africa". He went to his bag and took out a well-read, well-worn copy of Andre P Brink`s book [A Dry White Season]! Have a nice day. Love. Dad."
How cool is that?
PATTOTE - Better living through lesser-known-rough-sleepers with an eye for good reading.

That is absolutely brilliant!
I hear that Andre P. Brink was born on the 29th May, he must have been a really great guy.
I'm guessing that "tom" was also born on the 29th of May?
What on earth gave it away?
tom said, "must have been".Is he dead? I mean Brink !!
No, André P Brink is not dead. Not yet, anyway.
