Monday 10 May 2021, Day 71 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a hardworking day, even though my day was turned upside down with an early meeting, which got in the way of writing my Blogpost 😱; for winning a power struggle against a male supplier; for two builders coming to see the apartment building, giving me amazing insights into what maintenance problems we have and what needs to be fixed, definitely not needing millions of dollars of repair; for a beautiful sunny 19C day; for getting a gap at my dentist for tomorrow to fix the implant, pardon the pun; for a walk through Bakoven; and for being happy, healthy, and free. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for an interesting day of surprises; for more sun to warm up the winter day, but the clouds still made it a chilly day, not quite as cold as yesterday; for having no writing to do, having written today’s story yesterday afternoon; for tackling Sandak-Lewin in more ways than one, not wanting to divulge too much right now; for organizing the rest of what is to become a very sociable spoiling week; for warming Camps Bay and Bakoven walks, happy to see Telkom workers fixing a badly damaged manhole and surrounding pavement; for the privilege of being able to call Councillor Nicola Jowell twice today; for our transplanted carrots growing beautifully after all the rain; for the invitation from Woolies Camps Bay to feature in a video tomorrow; for dancing to Dansdag ón Kfm; for getting an early night, as at 20h00, with the compliments of ESKOM Loadshedding 😱🥵; for the generosity of Martin Koch for fetching our Tourist Guiding Badges, and bringing mine to me this afternoon; for a cat chat with Michele Antelme; and for being happy and healthy 🙏💙 Continue reading →
