Monday 14 December 2020, Day 85 of Level 1, Day 264 of Lockdown 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a misty drizzly day until early afternoon, whereafter the sun emerged, a wintry feel; for a catch up admin and writing morning; for a walk through Camps Bay at lunch time, and through Bakoven this afternoon; for a meeting with the Chairman of our Camps Bay and Clifton Ratepayers Association Management Committee; for a town meeting cancelled at short notice, so I walked down a street I hadn’t been to in Bo-Kaap, photographing, even a cat that came up to me and started ‘chatting’ – I had a KitKat moment with the cat 😿; for a me-tea-treat at Bo-Kaap Deli, with great tea and very poor service, despite the boss sitting inside too; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#Grateful for a lucky Friday the 13th; for a cooler day, misty at first, and then warming up, with lovely cloud art in the sky; for a productive working morning; for time for a Camps Bay walk, without much litter, and happy to see the yellow plastic broken fence protectors placed upright again in Bali Bay by the City of Cape Town; for an easy drive to Delos in Woodstock, to drop something off; for a very productive client status meeting; for shopping for first German Christmas baked goods at the German Food Shop above Dinkel Bakery on Kloofnek Road; for a German shop at Hartlief in the Garden’s Centre, as well as at Chocolate by Tomes, my favorite chocolate shop; for a catch up call from Stuart Bailey; for a smooth end to a busy week; for dancing to Kfm; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
