Thursday 18 November 2021, Day 49 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a Thursday with a difference, my Thursday Status meetings moved to tomorrow, Utopia doing extremely well in being fully booked until the end of Monday; for Cape Town having a new Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, the youngest City Mayor ever at 34, and for all our Councillors being inaugurated today; for the weeds having been removed from ‘my’ stream at the Tidal Pool by the City Parks department, after my request to Nicola Jowell; for an uninterrupted day of client work, with no Ebbtide maintenance issues to attend to 🙏; for a walk to Bakoven and to the Tidal Pool; for a warm 21C day, but a South Easter picking up, and forecast to blow for more than a week …. Summer is here 😊; for a fast tonight in preparation of a Discovery Health Check tomorrow morning; happy for my client Harvest Culture Eaterie receiving its liquor license today, taking more than 7 months 👏; for zero Loadshedding tonight and tomorrow; and for being happy, healthy and free.🙏💙

My Blogpost today was a Review of Firefly Café in Camps Bay, with an abusive response from the owner Luzanne Spoelstra!

Restaurant Review: Firefly Café in Camps Bay is no longer flying, shocking service!

I know nothing about our new Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, but being our youngest ever mayor in Cape Town at 34 sounds very promising. 👏

After such an excellent sleep the night before, I slept really badly last night. Viv tells me she experienced the same, as if one had drunk loads of coffee. Big Full Moon tomorrow and a historic lunar eclipse.

I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.
