For the first time since his regular ‘Family Meetings’ during Lockdown, President Ramaphosa addressed the nation via Livestream on YouTube. His topic was the ‘Energy Crisis’.
The ultimate goal of the measures announced is to never have to experience energy shortages again, the President said.
The Sweet Service Award goes to Sandak Lewin, and its Portfolio Manager Vanessa Sillifant, for the fantastic service she is offering us as Trustees at EbbTide in Camps Bay. After two disastrous years of dealing with her predecessor Greg Anderson, who was inefficient, biased towards the other Trustees, and grossly unprofessional, Vanessa was appointed to take over and has been a breath of fresh air. She visited our building within three weeks of taking over our building, something Anderson had refused to do in his two years of dealing with our building! In the past three months she has efficiently assisted us in getting eleven maintenance projects done and dusted, and prevented an excessive R1 million Maintenance project from being implemented, which would have resulted in an exorbitant Special Levy! She is a no-nonsense person, fair, and decisive, and has created greater harmony amongst the four Trustees of our building in getting maintenance jobs done and decisions made, an amazing feat! The next project will be to tackle the Noise Disturbance issues…….! Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Gratitude for a lovely rainy afternoon, allowing me to catch up on sleep with Minsky after a very short restless night, being on top of most of my work, a delicious little bunk; my day started with what was an unpleasant meeting initially but we found each other at the end of it, but still upsetting when one is blamed by implication for trying to do good for the community, negativity and community politics being evident, hardly needing this 😱; for being extremely well prepared for an apartment owner Zoom meeting to discuss Body Corporate repairs needed, amazing what power it gives one; for a lovely refreshing walk after the sleep, peeping inside the new Starbucks, which has brought its opening forward to tomorrow; for the loveliest sunset at the Tidal Pool and along Bali Bay when I walked home, it and the earlier Bakoven walk helping to take away the stress of the two meetings today, despite getting caught in the rain in the earlier walk, with lots of litter around to pick up today; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
