Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a wonderful day, my most sociable and restaurant dining day since the start of Lockdown; for a lovely cool start to the day, not becoming warmer than 24C today, and ending with a drizzle; for a huff and puff quick walk up to midway Geneva Drive, to show my cleaning team a project to tackle, only having an hour for them, giving me 300 Discovery points; for a delicious Breakfast at Quentin at Oakhurst; for a late lunch with Stuart Bailey at Utopia; for an early dinner with Katie Friedman and her son Iggy at NV-80, my first visit to the Sea Point restaurant; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Saturday 2 January 2021, Day 5 of Adjusted Level 3, Day 283 of Lockdown. 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a 7 hour solid sleep, much better than my usual 5 hours; a beautiful 27C sunny day, the wind coming up now; so grateful for how clean Camps Bay looks; for being happy that Imtiaz and Carmen are both back at work today, starting their day with tea at my home, their work now deep-cleaning; for an energetic walk through Bakoven and up the lanes in lower Bakoven, I continuing on a Litter Mission of another kind, earning me 500 Discovery points, a number which seems incorrect, as 300 is usually the max 😱; for a later walk to the Camps Bay Tidal Pool, only one couple picnicking on the lawn, so happy to see ‘my’ stream so clean; for Kfm broadcasting road closures news which I sent to the DJ when traffic was closed between Camps Bay and Hout Bay due to another Bakoven fire, with a huge thanks to the fire services for getting it under control; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful to all of you for your care and concern in KitKat having been taken away yesterday 😱😢😿; for the luck of having pre-planned a lunch today with Hanlie Theron and Johnny Nortje, which distracted me from my sadness, and got me out of my home; for a lovely sunny day, but the wind now blowing strongly; for the request by my Canadian tour operator to
produce a ‘Christmas in Cape Town’ video, what a fabulous challenge; for having my Community Cleaning team doing a deep clean with me this afternoon; for attending the celebration of the new showroom of Boutique Haute Horologie in the Waterfront; for Brian Van Hansen spontaneously saying yes to doing the Christmas video, with 15 minutes notice; for two Discovery Vitality Gameboard plays; and for being healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Friday 20 November 2020, Day 61 of Level 1, Day 240 of Lockdown. 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a stunning 30C day today, after four days of wind, the beaches in Camps Bay being jam-packed with happy swimmers and picnickers; for an amazing start to the day; for the City of Cape Town taking a first tiny step to fix the broken fence, and for removing the flattened pedestrian sign at Bali Bay 🙏; for a lovely lunch to which I was invited by Dale Kushner at the offices of film company AFS Productions on Kloof Street; for being able to leave my car parked at their offices and being able to explore the bottom end of Kloof Steeet, for a second (late afternoon) walk to the Tidal Pool, seeing a luxury bus with EFF supporters shouting out of the windows and blowing their vuvuzelas, being transported back to Hout Bay from Brackenfell 😱; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
