Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for rain this morning and the lightest drizzle this afternoon, a chilly day that warmed up as the sun came out but cold now; for a morning meeting at Zest, it being so busy that it’s hard to sit down before the restaurant fills up, and enjoying a yoghurt and fruit bowl for breakfast; for seeing Graham Sonnenberg and Tony De Klerk at Zest for the second time in two days 💙; for Herman Lategan writing a lovely review about eating at Zest; for my bed linen washed and dried at the laundry nearby in Sea Point, within two hours while I was at the meeting; for posting for clients when Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for the rain which fell on and off today, lapped up by the vegetable and flower garden, catching me unawares when I did a quick walk to Maison J to get croissants đŸ„, getting sopping wet but it was worth every drop in gifting Camps Bay with a beautiful rainbow 🌈 over Bali Bay; for Stuart Bailey coming to try to help me on his laptop with my Amazon job application; for the walk through the city centre, rediscovering it as a Tourist Guide, barely recognizing it, it being so quiet and so many business doors closed; for a indulgent Hot Chocolate at Honest Chocolate, nice and warm inside on this very cold 14C day; for collecting my tourist Guide card from the Western Cape Dept of Economic Affairs & Tourism on St George’s Mall, hardly recognizable without any stalls, looking like a European city pedestrian lane without any pedestrians đŸ˜±; for celebrating the two month battle of becoming officially registered as a Tourist Guide with an excellent lunch at Villa 47; for doing the Discovery Health Check at Clicks Glengariff Road đŸ˜±; for the assistance by Johan Prins and Bradley Moore to try to get the Amazon application completed; for getting into my warm bed already; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
