Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a warm 27C day, for the wind blowing gently almost day; for a morning Camps Bay walk, taking my cleaning team to a new area for us, the Little Glen, in which I haven’t been since Alex finished Primary School in Camps Bay, and went to Scouts in the Hall nearby, happy that there was so little litter, a good uphill energetic walk giving me 200 Miles; for a good working morning thereafter; for a peaceful afternoon at home, having almost reached my step goal; for enjoying my terrace; and for being happy and healthy.🙏💙 Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Hope @ Home; Sour Service Award goes to Discovery!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Hope @ Home, organised by and performed at the Berlin home of violonist Daniel Hope, who entertained music lovers from around the world with classical music, swing music, and more genres, in performing with established musicians as well as new up-and-coming artists, broadcast by arteTV and streamed live, a weekend highlight initially, and a daily one in a second series. Daniel must be the busiest musician in the world, in making music and managing concerts and orchestras, writing books, broadcasting, recording music, and creating publicity for all of his endeavours in conventional media as well as in Social Media.  What made the concerts so special for me is that Daniel was born in Durban, and that his father used to live in Johannesburg,  Christopher Hope being an esteemed writer.

#Grateful for a lovely sunny day, not too hot at 24C and a mild breeze this afternoon; for two Discovery Game board plays just after midnight, scoring enough Miles to get a Woolies R100 voucher for 750 Miles, which I promptly more than spent in a Woolies shopping trip this afternoon, keeping it very healthy; for a quick Bakoven walk before my housekeeper Portia arrived; for a busy morning writing for my client, being proud to execute instructions almost immediately; for my tidy and clean home and freshly made bed 💙 ; for successfully getting my Discovery Insure premium paid, compared to yesterday’s drama; for successfully getting a Loot order completed with telephonic assistance by Janine; for a longer uphill walk between Victoria Road and Camps Bay Drive, to get to Woolies, bumping into Merryl Wyatt on the way, previous almost-neighbours in my former guest house days; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
