Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for another beautiful day, starting off rainy, but stopping just as Exercise Time commenced, a nice fresh walk up to Clifton 2nd Beach; for another bout of rain at lunchtime, and a sunny ending to the day; for a lovely tea/coffee chat at the side of the road after exercise with Barry Aaron about Charlie aka KitKat 🐱, who visits me daily; for all the love in the sky today, one heart cloud after the other throughout the day 💙💙💙; for being so up to date with my writing early this morning that I could go to town, only the fourth such trip in 7 weeks; for the most amazing service from Hennie Kriel of Audi Cape Town in the Waterfront; for #eyecandy walking past my home and chatting with him from my terrace; for shopping what I need for the next two weeks, including some German comfort food 🇩🇪; for another good step day, with an excellent heart exertion rate gifting me 300 Discovery points; for dancing to Kfm this afternoon; and for being happy and healthy 🙏💙 Continue reading →
The Sweet Service Award goes to the City of Cape Town, and its Trainee Cashier Jarred Knipe, for the speedy service in renewing the licence for my car at the Civic Centre. I came armed with a copy of my ID and once again the proof of my residence, which I had organised especially elsewhere prior to my visit to the Motor Vehicle Registration Officer. One is allocated a number on arrival, after enquiring why one is visiting. My number was about eleven numbers after the counters servicing clients. Many clients did not respond to the numbers. Before my number came up, a roving admin staff member asked me what I had come for and directed me to the Cash Office immediately. Jarred is a relatively new staff member, still on training! He completed the paperwork and payment within five minutes, it having taken me a total of ten minutes to renew the registration of the car, something that has taken an hour at least in the past! I had to pinch myself that I was not dreaming. And to add to the service delight, Service Manager Hennie Kriel, replaced the licence disc for me when I popped in at Audi Cape Town for assistance with something completely unrelated! 
The Sweet Service Award goes to Audi Cape Town, and its Service Advisor Hennie Kriel, for his friendliness and efficiency in helping me to get my car key to flick open, a little screw having been responsible for the problem. On his desk is a sign that they offer 11/10 service excellence, and it encourages customers to demand it, and express it if they are not satisfied. Hennie has impressed me with his superb service since meeting him at the dealership early this year.
