Around the Block

By Barrioboy

And the leopard shall lie down with the kid . . .

. . . Isaiah 11:6

Not quite but I thought this title a little more gentle than 'Ready For The Chop' or 'Pot Luck'. We wandered round a backstreet working class area in Dokki this Friday prayer day. It's amazing what you can do with a 2 sq. m. space from running a barber's shop through mending clothes or selling spices to fixing gear boxes. Then we found a street with jewellery shops with elaborate presentations of rings being made to groups of women drawn up on chairs around the counters and these wee creatures ready for the, well, chop and pot.
