Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a beautiful wind free day; for an energetic walk with Imtiaz to clean up at the Caltex Garage on Rontree Road; for getting a noise problem in our sewerage pipes in our building fixed; for a Zoom meeting I was invited to by Tania Harrison about the impact of Lockdown on brand distribution and pricing; for an afternoon nap after a late night of Instagramming and having to redo my Facebook post after it crashed; for another walk with Imtiaz at the Tidal Pool and Promenade, seeing umbrellas everywhere, and so happy to see Law Enforcement Officer Ivor Ramsay back in Camps Bay for a visit; for being able to digest, pardon the pun, an absolutely generous box of organic vegetables, herbs and eggs which Rosy Krämer-Schrott of The Green Goddess had delivered to me; for being spared Loadshedding today; 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.

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a beautiful 28C wind-free day, as if specially designed to celebrate the reopening of beaches today, the Camps Bay Beach and Tidal Pool being busy, as was Victoria Road; for the car guards smiling in being kept busy and earning tips, and no doubt the restaurants and supermarkets benefiting too; for a meeting with another prospective Communications client, which led to a second prospective client……. all too good to be true 😱; for fetching my laundry and shopping at Woolies on Regent Road in Sea Point; for a walk on the Camps Bay Promenade and Tidal Pool area with Imtiaz, there being lots of litter to pick up, there being so many picnickers; for lovely dancing music on Kfm Dansdag; for learning how business works, after many decades of not working for clients; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
