Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for having such a good friend in Gary Peterson, who got up at 5h45 this morning, to fetch me and take me to the Netcare Christiaan Barnard Hospital to meet my Opthalmologist at 7h00 for her to mark something on my left eye, for the Toric Cataract operation later this morning; for being second in the queue to be operated, with far less paperwork today, most of it having been taken care of last week already, only my Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar measured, very happy with the blood Continue reading →

#grateful for a real summer day at 29C, still 23C now, the wind picking up here again and I can smell fire and see smoke 😱, Camps Bay a hit today; for waking up early, and finishing all my work of the day by 11h00 when I headed to town; for donating blood, my blood pressure being far below that measured by Clicks a week ago; for a spoil lunch at Utopia with the owner and GM, to celebrate my first anniversary of looking after their marketing, followed by my weekly Status meeting; for finding Continue reading →

Tuesday 4 August 2020, Day 65 of Level 3, after 66 days of Levels 5 and 4. 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for the rain which fell on and off today, lapped up by the vegetable and flower garden, catching me unawares when I did a quick walk to Maison J to get croissants 🥐, getting sopping wet but it was worth every drop in gifting Camps Bay with a beautiful rainbow 🌈 over Bali Bay; for Stuart Bailey coming to try to help me on his laptop with my Amazon job application; for the walk through the city centre, rediscovering it as a Tourist Guide, barely recognizing it, it being so quiet and so many business doors closed; for a indulgent Hot Chocolate at Honest Chocolate, nice and warm inside on this very cold 14C day; for collecting my tourist Guide card from the Western Cape Dept of Economic Affairs & Tourism on St George’s Mall, hardly recognizable without any stalls, looking like a European city pedestrian lane without any pedestrians 😱; for celebrating the two month battle of becoming officially registered as a Tourist Guide with an excellent lunch at Villa 47; for doing the Discovery Health Check at Clicks Glengariff Road 😱; for the assistance by Johan Prins and Bradley Moore to try to get the Amazon application completed; for getting into my warm bed already; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
