Sweet Service Award goes to Knead; Sour Service Award goes to Outsurance!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Knead in the Constantia Emporium, and its waitress Olly (Molly without the M she said). Ten days ago I was in this lovely small shopping centre, wanting to shop at its fabulous Checkers store, and walked past Knead, succumbing to one of their hot cross buns displayed on a table outside the door. As I had to spend the day in the Southern Suburbs whilst waiting for my cat receiving treatment at the Peninsula Animal Hospital in Diepriver, I asked whether they have WiFi, as I needed to do my writing work. What a good decision it was, Olly bringing me an endless pot of Earl Grey tea, topped up with further pots of water, and a hot cross bun Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a relaxed smooth-flowing organized day; for no wind at all, on a 27C day; for a brisk uphill walk with Imtiaz, from Victoria Road in Bakoven  to Ingleside Road and back, giving me a good Cardio workout and 300 points; for 2 Discovery Gameboard plays just after midnight and just before Loadshedding, not getting enough points to buy a voucher;  for receiving just over R500 back from Discovery Insure for good driving and lower petrol usage; for getting some of my work for tomorrow done today; for receiving a R300 voucher from Royal Canin for kitten food, but how to cash it in is still a riddle; for a R50 discount voucher from Checkers60 which I used to buy Whiskas pouches, the favorite of my Kits, my total saving being R15 as they charge R35 delivery…. 😱; for an early morning call from Barbara Lenhard, who is back in Cape Town with her Flo for a few weeks, arranging a dinner date; for another walk during Loadshedding this afternoon, and using the time to do some non-internet admin; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

The Sweet Service Award goes to the City of Cape Town Traffic Services Department, for the renewal of my motor vehicle license taking all of 5 minutes! There was no one else in the hall, and they have done away with the completion of the green form, the lady typing my details directly from my ID book and my proof of residence! Continue reading →
