Friday 26 March 2021, Day 26 of Level 1, Day 365 of Lockdown 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a day that turned out to be completely different to planned, making it even better; for a cold windy start to the day ending with clear skies, even though rain is forecast for tonight; for getting all my writing done very early this morning, having to be at a meeting in town at 9h30, with two other meetings back to back planned thereafter; for an interesting client meeting discussing an Interior refurb as well as a website overall, exciting to be part of the transformation; for a fabulous meeting with Emily O’Ryan, an impressive 23 year old working on her second book, for which she interviewed me; for being late for the next meeting, so I went to Hertex to look for wallpaper samples for the restaurant refurb, and having a bite of lunch there; for a pop in at Lazari looking for their fabulous mini chicken, leek and mushroom pies, not available but I took home some other treats; for a wonderful afternoon snooze; for a wonderful walk with Vivian Warby through Bakoven, spending lovely time on Beta Beach, each expressing our gratitudes of the day; for seeing the almost-Full Moon coming over the side of Table Mountain; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Royal Canin/Pet Heaven; Sour Service Award goes to Vodacom!

The Sweet Service Award goes to Royal Canin and Pet Heaven, for an amazing promotion which offers kitten owners a R300 voucher for the Royal Cannin Kitten dry food, which I was alerted to by my friend Elize Skriker.  As there was no pet shop anywhere near to me, I had to call Pet Heaven, the delivery partner, purchase the product at R305 minus the voucher = R5 to pay, with zero delivery charge. An amazing gift for my new kitten Mr Grey.  The delivery was promised for Monday initially, but has been brought forward to today, 24 hours after the order was placed. Continue reading →

#Grateful for a fabulous day, peaceful, calm, with beautiful weather and no wind, and super organized; for having the chutzpah to address an email to the Sandak-Lewin MD very early this morning and receiving the most surprising reply almost immediately 👏; for an easy-flowing Blogpost; for collecting my poppy seed rolls at Dinkel Bakery; for buying some German treats at Hartlief, for paying my Rates & Taxes at Pick n Pay, and some other groceries at Woolies, paying my last Vodacom account ever, all at the Garden’s Centre, for no Loadshedding when we were meant to have it from 8h00; for a lovely Client status meeting at Utopia, getting excited for a very busy weekend lying ahead for the restaurant; for a Camps Bay walk, asking a bride if I may photograph her, she knowing me from my Straatwerker cleaning more than a year ago, her name being Sarah from Seeff Atlantic Seaboard; for reaching 10200 Discovery points for this year to date, only needing another 40000 points to get to Diamond status; for only paying R5 for a 2 kg bag of Royal Canin kitten food with free delivery by Pet Heaven expected on Monday, thanks to Elize Skriker; for an ice cream treat and dancing at The Dairy Den; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
