Corona Gratitude đ
#grateful for another special day, the last one of this amazing year â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸; for a cooler day, with a little rain this afternoon; for a Bakoven and Camps Bay walk with my Camps Bay Clean helper Carmen, back at work today while Imtiaz is still off ill, with lots of dreadful litter in Bakoven; for Woolies keeping a roast chicken for me until I could fetch it; for my SwitchBitch trilogy order coming through, so I collected a courier bag for it from Pick n Pay; for getting my preparation for my client Status meeting completed in good time, very happy with what I have achieved for my client, and what I have learnt too; for the amazing kind compliments paid to me by Utopia waitrons Ruramai and Alain, thanking me for filling the restaurant so well, it obviously affecting their tips too, so touched by this â¤ď¸; for Hartlief keeping some German treats for me, all ready to collect at the Gardenâs Centre; for a good efficient Status meeting, I being up to date with all our Marketing activities; for meeting and later sharing a glass of Lautus de-alcoholised red wine, with 0,05% alcohol, with Astrid Gillwald who lives a few blocks from me, and her friend Brandon from London, who were lunching at Utopia; for the treat of a movie and popcorn at The Labia cinema, just a pity it was such a disappointing movie; for a short burst of fireworks from Clifton/Bantry Bay, which I could see from my home, just before Curfew; for the fabulous dance music which Kfmâs Jonathan Duiguid is playing, such a pity he has to talk so much….đĽľ; and for being happy and healthy. đđ Continue reading →
Tuesday 9 June 2020, Day 9 of Level 3, after 66 days at Levels 5 and 4. đˇ
Just before the beginning of May I created a Facebook Group âLockdown Restaurant Food Deliveries Cape Town and Winelandsâ, since amended to add Collections to its name too.  Initially during May the restaurants listed were offering Deliveries only, in line with Lockdown Level 4 regulations, but since 1 June restaurants are allowed to offer a Collection Service as well as Alcohol Sales, in line with Lockdown Level 3 regulations. The Facebook Group has close to 4500 members. 
Original Mason’s has launched the first range of four Cocktail Spritzers, the first such beverage range in our country. The cocktail spritzer flavours are all cocktail classics.
