Sweet Service Award goes to Checkers Constantia Emporium; Sour Service Award goes to Checkers60!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Checkers at the Constantia Emporium,  at which I shopped earlier this week, just after 8h30. I’m not a supermarket lover, and have no affinity for Checkers as a brand, the only store I’ve been to on occasion being the one in the Point Mall in Sea Point,with poor service, especially at the tills. The newish Constantia Emporium Branch is fantastic, has massive space in clearly laid out aisles, as well as shops- in-the-shop, such as My Sugar.

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a well organized smooth-flowing day, being away from home from 7h30 – 17h30, taking Earl Grey to be sterilized at the vet in Diepriver; for getting my day’s writing done at Knead at the Constantia Enporium, spoilt by Ollie with pots of tea and a hot cross bun, their Wifi working perfectly; for a fabulous shop at Checkers at the mall, with lovely efficient and friendly cashiers, compared to Sea Point, and good offers and discounts 😱; for an eating drive to Muizenberg, all three my visits disappointing; for a lovely tea and apple tart treat at the home of Rose Klein and Werner, also in Diepriver, from where I fetched Earl Grey, looking good and not having any wounds or bandages, happy to see each other again 😻; for a very quick walk to Camps Bay and back, such good cardio that I earned 300 Discovery points; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a lovely day, warmer than forecast at 27C; for a very busy working day, the short week making itself felt; for a very short and sweet nap this afternoon after only 3 hours of sleep last night, energizing me to do a Bakoven and Camps Bay walk, spoilt with a lovely sunset, and 300 Discovery points, the first ones since Wednesday last week; for a call from Emily O’Ryan who promised me another follow-up interview for her book; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a relaxed smooth-flowing organized day; for no wind at all, on a 27C day; for a brisk uphill walk with Imtiaz, from Victoria Road in Bakoven  to Ingleside Road and back, giving me a good Cardio workout and 300 points; for 2 Discovery Gameboard plays just after midnight and just before Loadshedding, not getting enough points to buy a voucher;  for receiving just over R500 back from Discovery Insure for good driving and lower petrol usage; for getting some of my work for tomorrow done today; for receiving a R300 voucher from Royal Canin for kitten food, but how to cash it in is still a riddle; for a R50 discount voucher from Checkers60 which I used to buy Whiskas pouches, the favorite of my Kits, my total saving being R15 as they charge R35 delivery…. 😱; for an early morning call from Barbara Lenhard, who is back in Cape Town with her Flo for a few weeks, arranging a dinner date; for another walk during Loadshedding this afternoon, and using the time to do some non-internet admin; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
