Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a beautiful sunny 21C day, despite the South Easter blowing all day; for an early morning meeting which I linked to a first Camps Bay walk, bumping into German swallows Haakon and Thomas at okja; for a spoil breakfast of a croissant and Dilmah Earl Grey Tea at Firefly Café, with a fabulous connection; for a second walk to Camps Bay this afternoon, popping in at Absolute Pets to buy a cat treat, and receiving two sample packs of their house brand Lokuno chicken and rice dry food to test on my cats; for a day of past connections, all of which I have let go of; for dancing to Kfm; for two Discovery Game board plays, totalling a lucky 470 points; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#Grateful for another fabulous day in this magic week; for the lovely weather today, sunny at 22C with no wind; for recovering from a busy weekend and yesterday; for a peaceful walk through Camps Bay, being able to rescue a Woolworths trolley near the beach, and through Bakoven late this afternoon, both refreshing and energizing; for one of the Ghanaian renters having checked out of our building today, the other noisy one still here 😱; for a lovely chat with Bubeka of Absolute Pets when I went to buy some cat treats; for a possibility of a freelance job which just came to me, not having applied for it, combining my German and a past career; for the kindest invitation to a lunch next week; for dancing to Dansdag on Kfm; for receiving a box of ingredients from B-Well for an online cooking show Chef Jennifer Morris is doing tomorrow; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for another beautiful 23C day, another sunny beach day in Camps Bay, the traffic snaking through from the Hout Bay side; for a morning coffee/tea and croissant meet with Lynne Gordon at Maison J, sitting in the sun across the road, and for meeting her friend Tourist Guide and Uber driver Brandon Platt, whom I had wanted to meet, only knowing him from Facebook; for two further Camps Bay walks, one a shopping one, mainly for cat food, and because I forgot the packet at Absolute Pets from talking too much, I had to go back again to fetch it, an easy way to gain more steps; for a peaceful rest at my favorite Bench at the Tidal Pool; for the Beethoven concert from Beethoven House in Bonn by Daniel Hope of Hope@Home on Tour, his very last one of 70 he has done during Lockdown, an amazing treat; for my Alex helping me to get my CV finalized, the first I’ve written in 30 years 😱; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
