Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a beautiful beach of a day… at 29C, making Camps Bay busy, persons just coming for a walk, a supermarket shop, or a restaurant treat, and a few persons chancing it by running on the beach or into the ocean, Law Enforcement being very vigilant in checking; for a good sleep last night, feeling very relaxed, and happy for my Resting Heart Rate’s good drop down to 57 bears per minute; for some writing this morning, followed by a 2 hour afternoon sleep; for posting my three SwitchBitch books to Honene Bain Roux to Wellington (my old home town) via Pick n Pay’s Aramex courier service 🙏; for a walk with my cleaning team through the Camps Bay beachfront, checking for litter, so happy that there is so little; for 200 Discovery Miles today; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Sweet and Sour Service Awards go to Discovery Vitality !

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Discovery, for lowering the bar for its members, having increased the value of the Miles which one can win on the weekly Vitality Gameboard play, and for discounting the ‘cost’ of its Rewards, by 20%. On Wednesday I only had to use 800 Discovery Mikes to buy a DisChem voucher of 1000 Discovery Miles, or R100. It has also lowered the number of steps one does per day to earn 100 points to 7500, from 10000. Continue reading →

#Grateful for a beautiful sunshine day, with a nippy start, putting a lift into everyone’s step, and happy that we will have another 7 days of sunshine before the next rain arrives; for getting my writing done in good time; for being spoilt by a lunch invitation at Latitude Café in Sea Point, a lovely setting in the 9th floor on the Latitude ApartHotel, connecting with two acquaintances; for donating blood 🩸, Rita Rodrigues being the nicest staff member there, always a pleasure to give, for being offered tea and biscuits afterwards, and receiving a present; for the amazing generosity of Discovery Vitality today…. not often experienced; for picking up two desserts on the Pilcrow & Cleaver menu this week in town, and meeting owner Chef Judi Fourie, only having messaged each other up to now; for a walk through Camps Bay, no clearing up of storm debris done yet, so I’ve booked Joel for tomorrow so that we can start with clearing the pavements, so that locals can walk again; for a walk through Bakoven at sunset time; for missing out on Loadshedding today; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Biomedcan; Sour Service Award goes to Discovery Vitality!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Biomedcan, and its Marcel Hartman, who sent me two sample packs of their SLEEP CBD capsules, when he read in my Facebook posts that I was struggling to get enough sleep, sometimes struggling to fall asleep, or waking up too early. Since taking the tablets my sleeping time has increased to as much as 8 hours, almost double the number of hours of sleep which I have been getting, and a deeper sleep too. The capsules seem to have a calming effect too, taking underlying anxieties away. The product contains Cannabis, and is natural in containing no chemicals. Marcel wrote to say that the product is available at Takealot.com. Continue reading →
