Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a beautiful beach of a day… at 29C, making Camps Bay busy, persons just coming for a walk, a supermarket shop, or a restaurant treat, and a few persons chancing it by running on the beach or into the ocean, Law Enforcement being very vigilant in checking; for a good sleep last night, feeling very relaxed, and happy for my Resting Heart Rate’s good drop down to 57 bears per minute; for some writing this morning, followed by a 2 hour afternoon sleep; for posting my three SwitchBitch books to Honene Bain Roux to Wellington (my old home town) via Pick n Pay’s Aramex courier service 🙏; for a walk with my cleaning team through the Camps Bay beachfront, checking for litter, so happy that there is so little; for 200 Discovery Miles today; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#Grateful for surviving 200 days of Lockdown, the ‘new normal’ of our life; for a beautiful sunny 22C day; for a hardworking writing morning; for harvesting my first cauliflower, and more parsley and nasturtiums, from my Vegetable garden; for a peaceful walk through Camps Bay, noticing only three new car guards today (they take Mondays off, but they forgot to tell us locals, and so all the illegal car guards are back); for posting my SwitchBitch Book 1 to Marianne Busche in Johannesburg via the Aramex courier service at Pick n Pay 🙏; for a second walk through Bakoven; for a chat with Officer Ivor Ramsay at Law Enforcement about persons selling insurance policies on the pavement at the Promenade, which is not allowed; for such a calm ocean; for dancing to Kfm 💃; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Pick n Pay; Sour Service Award goes to Discovery!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Pick n Pay, and its Aramex courier service, which I experienced at Pick n Pay Camps Bay yesterday. Store Manager Xoliswa assisted me in following the steps to use the courier service to send a copy of my SwitchBitch Book to a friend in Knysna. First, I had to buy a plastic pocket with the documents and courier bag at the till, at R99,99. Then I had to complete the document with sender and receiver details, and photograph it for the tracking number. Then I placed the book in the bag, kept two copies of the documents, and placed the remaining three into a pocket on the outside of the courier bag. Lastly, I slipped the parcel into a special slot at a counter as one enters the store. The Book is likely to be delivered to my friend’s door by tomorrow, an amazing Store-to-Door service!  Continue reading →
