Sweet Service Award goes to Knead; Sour Service Award goes to Outsurance!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Knead in the Constantia Emporium, and its waitress Olly (Molly without the M she said). Ten days ago I was in this lovely small shopping centre, wanting to shop at its fabulous Checkers store, and walked past Knead, succumbing to one of their hot cross buns displayed on a table outside the door. As I had to spend the day in the Southern Suburbs whilst waiting for my cat receiving treatment at the Peninsula Animal Hospital in Diepriver, I asked whether they have WiFi, as I needed to do my writing work. What a good decision it was, Olly bringing me an endless pot of Earl Grey tea, topped up with further pots of water, and a hot cross bun Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a well organized smooth-flowing day, being away from home from 7h30 – 17h30, taking Earl Grey to be sterilized at the vet in Diepriver; for getting my day’s writing done at Knead at the Constantia Enporium, spoilt by Ollie with pots of tea and a hot cross bun, their Wifi working perfectly; for a fabulous shop at Checkers at the mall, with lovely efficient and friendly cashiers, compared to Sea Point, and good offers and discounts 😱; for an eating drive to Muizenberg, all three my visits disappointing; for a lovely tea and apple tart treat at the home of Rose Klein and Werner, also in Diepriver, from where I fetched Earl Grey, looking good and not having any wounds or bandages, happy to see each other again 😻; for a very quick walk to Camps Bay and back, such good cardio that I earned 300 Discovery points; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a wonderful and peaceful Easter; for waking up to a gloriously wet garden, after it rained heavily all night long; for being connected to so many friends today, one going back to last communicating 4 years ago; for so many happy memories of past Easters, and lovely Brunches on my terrace, which we would have had today to celebrate Easter, had we not been in Lockdown; for the joy in giving on a day like today ❤️ ; for loving listening to the Messiah by Handel at the start to my day, in bed, it being performed on Easter Sundays in the City Hall year after year, my absolute Easter highlight; for so many Easter wishes from around the world; for it being warm enough to wear a summer dress when the sun came out; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Eggcellent Easter Treats in Cape Town Southern Suburbs and Sea Point!

 

During the course of this week I had the idea to check out top outlets for their Easter food items, partly guided by their Facebook posts. I found five shops selling Easter biscuits and chocolate items, Four & Twenty Café offering by far the largest selection of Easter goodies, and the best quality items too. My Sugar offers the most creative Easter eggs.
