Thursday 18 March 2021, Day 18 of Level 1, Day 358 of Lockdown

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a day that looked like rain initially and was chilly, but cleared up to become sunny, at 21C; for a most lucky day of generosity bestowed upon me, receiving a delivery of Wagyu burger patties and a steak from Garth Angus of Wagyu Direct, for a tea treat and tons of info about joining Discovery Bank from Maki Chase at Schoon in Sea Point, for receiving a bottle of Merlot from Gary Peterson when I dropped off some of the patties, for a treat of a winetasting at Utopia Cape Town, loving The Valley Chardonnay, and for Utopia Chef Pavel asking me which dish I would like to eat….. choosing the kabeljou and scallops ❤️, making it a lovely Status meeting ; for collecting my Dinkel rolls; for a fabulous walk combining Camps Bay and Bakoven, and blessed with the most beautiful sunset, and for crossing over into 20300 Discovery points🙏; for managing to finish this post just in time, before we are Loadshedding at 20h00; for Minsky getting back safely after being out the whole night; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Pick n Pay; Sour Service Award goes to Discovery!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Pick n Pay, and its Aramex courier service, which I experienced at Pick n Pay Camps Bay yesterday. Store Manager Xoliswa assisted me in following the steps to use the courier service to send a copy of my SwitchBitch Book to a friend in Knysna. First, I had to buy a plastic pocket with the documents and courier bag at the till, at R99,99. Then I had to complete the document with sender and receiver details, and photograph it for the tracking number. Then I placed the book in the bag, kept two copies of the documents, and placed the remaining three into a pocket on the outside of the courier bag. Lastly, I slipped the parcel into a special slot at a counter as one enters the store. The Book is likely to be delivered to my friend’s door by tomorrow, an amazing Store-to-Door service!  Continue reading →
