Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a much cooler day at 24C, the rain still not having arrived, and fewer picnickers and hence less litter; for the City of Cape Town trying to catch up on litter cleaning today which they didn’t do overnight as they have done before, even running out of garbage bags, I discovered when I did a ‘litter inspection’ in Camps Bay and Bakoven, getting me close to my goal steps by lunchtime Continue reading →

Restaurant Review: Mexicola Locale colourful food and atmosphere in Hout Bay!

 

On Tuesday evening my friend Gary Peterson and I popped in at Mexicola Locale in Hout Bay, a Mexican Eatery, after an event we attended in the suburb.  We had planned to eat at the nearby Delish, but it was closed.

Knowing that the restaurant belongs to Chef Cheyne Morrisby, it was worth a try, and the little blue cottage attracted interest from outside.

The service was very good, and good wines offered, but the Tacos disappointed. I loved the Churro waffle, but found it to be pricey. Continue reading →
