Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a relatively cooler day, with a South Easter blustering this afternoon; for a very busy writing morning, posting for clients and a newsletter deadline coming up; for my visit to the dentist to remove a broken implant turning out to be better than I feared, he not getting the implant out but able to add a new one as well as a new bridge, without any pain, and no bill; for a scrambled egg and toast treat at the WCafe at the Waterfront, both the egg and service not being as good as usual 😱; for Continue reading →

#Grateful for a fabulous day of birthday celebration, first with my Camps Bay Cleaners, who joined me for cupcakes & tea before we did a clean up in the lanes of Upper Bakoven this morning, for Jenny Stephens coming for Pink Gin and Christmas cookies; and for my friends coming to celebrate my birthday, 4th Advent, and Christmas with me; for the beautiful sunny 27C day, the wind picking up but still allowing us to sit outside; for my Alex calling me for my birthday ❤️; for hundreds of birthday messages which I haven’t yet all read; for Brian Van Hansen taking fabulous pics, which I’ll post tomorrow; and for feeling happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#Grateful for a fabulous day; for it being warm and sunny, at 22C, and not too windy; for preparing for my client meeting this morning, and writing a Blogpost; for walking to Camps Bay to hear George Sax DJ and present his Thursday 3 hour Radio Show from Beach House, the renamed cocktail bar previously called Sunset Sessions, and back under the control of the Bay Hotel, dancing 💃 to his fabulous music 🎵; for a very good client meeting, happy for what I have achieved so far in the first 19 days of working with them, and grateful to Jenny Stephens for giving me a pep talk yesterday evening; for a very liquid tasting of Musgrave Spirits’ Copper Vanilla and Black Honey brandies, tasting at least 8 cocktails that were prepared for us by Mixologist Owen O’Reilly; for getting home safely despite the volume of tastings 😱; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
