Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for a lovely sunny day, not too hot at 24C and a mild breeze this afternoon; for two Discovery Game board plays just after midnight, scoring enough Miles to get a Woolies R100 voucher for 750 Miles, which I promptly more than spent in a Woolies shopping trip this afternoon, keeping it very healthy; for a quick Bakoven walk before my housekeeper Portia arrived; for a busy morning writing for my client, being proud to execute instructions almost immediately; for my tidy and clean home and freshly made bed 💙 ; for successfully getting my Discovery Insure premium paid, compared to yesterday’s drama; for successfully getting a Loot order completed with telephonic assistance by Janine; for a longer uphill walk between Victoria Road and Camps Bay Drive, to get to Woolies, bumping into Merryl Wyatt on the way, previous almost-neighbours in my former guest house days; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

At hi the cost was only R149 for a reasonable looking cover. I also found a car charger for the phone at R99, something I did not know existed until I saw a guest using one last week.
