Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a real summer day at 29C, still 23C now, the wind picking up here again and I can smell fire and see smoke 😱, Camps Bay a hit today; for waking up early, and finishing all my work of the day by 11h00 when I headed to town; for donating blood, my blood pressure being far below that measured by Clicks a week ago; for a spoil lunch at Utopia with the owner and GM, to celebrate my first anniversary of looking after their marketing, followed by my weekly Status meeting; for finding Continue reading →

#grateful for a day with a difference, with a 4h30 start, cramming in a day full of work until I left home at 10h00; for proudly wearing my Tourist Badge for the first time; for my first Tourist Guiding in 19 months, fetching German couple Cornelia and Wolfgang from the V&A Hotel and walking towards the city centre through a very quiet Silo District, they having a glass of bubbly at Utopia, showing them the wonderful 15th floor view and giving them an overview of ‘my Cape Town’ from the map of our city; for a walk through Bo Kaap, still very quiet, only seeing one tourist group at Atlas Continue reading →

Saturday 13 November 2021, Day 44 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a relaxed social day, going back to my roots; after an admin morning responding to very many restaurant reviews, I met Gary Peterson at The Winchester Boutique Hotel (no more Mansions) to explore the refurbished 99 year old lady, which reopened on Monday, it being my first home for 9 months when my parents and I arrived in Cape Town from Germany, when I was 3 months old, an apartment block at the time, and also where I got engaged in its fabulous Orangerie Restaurant, one of few exceptional restaurants in Cape Town at the time, and also where my sisters and I and our families celebrated the life of both my parents; for being shown the room in which we Continue reading →
