#gratitude for a beautiful day, cooler at 24C, and quite windy, but a rare South Wester for a change; for a good working morning, getting everything ready for my Utopia meeting this afternoon; for a surprise Discovery Healthy Food Cashback and Camps Bay Clean donation in my bank account 🙏; for picking up my rolls at Dinkel and getting German mustard at the shop above it; for a good client meeting; for a mini meeting with Councillor Nicola Jowell at Caprice; for a power walk to the end of Bakoven, and then up to the Tidal pool in Camps Bay, scoring on more beautiful sunsets and 300 Discovery points ; for making progress with the Anatoli website redesign, the temporary site going live this afternoon; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
