Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a lovely day, the South Easter having picked up, and forecast to be with us for the whole long weekend, with rising temperatures; for Minsky coming back home after another night out, scary as it was 8h00 this morning, her latest return; for a lighter load of work today; for Balele my new cleaner coming to work punctually, the two of us doing a thorough litter clean up between my place and Clifton, a long walk of three and a half hours; for a lovely long sleep late this afternoon; for receiving an email from Discovery Insure to say that as I am on Diamond Status for my car insurance, my premium will not increase for the next year 💙; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏 Continue reading →

#Grateful for a relaxed day, getting on top of my work; for a lovely 24 C day with no wind; for not winning high Discovery Gameboard points today but having enough left over from last week to just manage cashing in on a Pick n Pay shopping voucher; for reaching 5000 Instagram followers for Utopia today, receiving a huge boost through the Valentine’s Day promotion we are running with the Bush Radio DJ Mr Meyer; for a late afternoon walk to Clifton when it cooled down a little, with lots of litter to pick up on the way (including a freshly drunk bottle of Hennessy), rewarded with 300 Discovery points for my 70% heart exertion; and for being happy and healthy.
