Corona Gratitude đ
#Grateful for a fabulous day that just got better and better, ending off on a high note; for a lovely warm day with little wind, although the mountains were covered in clouds; for a brisk walk to Clifton, earning 300 Discovery points, being less stressed about mask-wearing as there were fewer walkers about; for a longer than planned Skype meeting with a representative of my Canadian Tour Guiding company based in India, talking about the companyâs marketing and Social Media, which I will assist them with, and writing Cape Town content too; for my two poppy seed rolls waiting for me at Dinkel Bakery; for being healthy enough to donate blood; for a good status meeting with my client over lunch, I having a healthy delicious Caprese Salad; for a long-overdue session with my podiatrist; for popping in at the WCafĂ© at Woolies in Sea Point for a juice; for being spoilt when I went to see George Sax at the new Kloof Street Hotel; for being thoroughly spoilt by Gary Peterson and Thomas, as well as by the new Ă«lgr, the restaurant with the most difficult name in Cape Town, meaning âmooseâ; and for being happy and healthy. đđ Continue reading →

On First Thursday earlier this month my Parisian friend AurĂ©lie Jullien and I attended The Belgian Beer Companyâs celebration of the âArt of Glassâ at the WORLDART Gallery on Church Street, an exhibition of the art by Lizette Chirrime, the first African artist whose work has been used on a Duvel beer glass. 
Last Thursday I was one of a number of writers who was invited to attend the Summer Dinner launch at Giulioâs CafĂ©, the restaurant opening for dinner trade for the first time, on Thursday and Sunday evenings.
