Sweet Service Award goes to The Lawns; Sour Service Award goes to TELKOM!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to The Lawns at The Roundhouse in Camps Bay, for its excellent service in looking after our table of about 15 on Wednesday, at a meeting and end-of-year- function for the Management Committee of the Camps Bay & Clifton Ratepayers Association on which I serve. We ordered our individual breakfasts, and when I told the waiter that I had to leave half an hour later, he offered to separate my order from that of the group, so that it could be speeded up in the kitchen.  He was true to his word, I not having to wait very long, and neither did the rest of our group, their breakfasts arriving just as I had finished mine.  I love Dilmah tea, and always regard it as a sign of the quality of the establishment, so I was impressed to see that this is their tea brand.

#Grateful for a magnificent Day of Reconciliation public holiday, with barely a breeze, beautiful sunshine, and about 22C; for starting the day with an end of year ‘Champagne’ Breakfast with the Management Committee of the Camps Bay & Clifton Ratepayers Association; for excellent service at The Lawns at The Rotunda, where we had the breakfast, prioritizing my order as I had to leave at 11h00 to meet my Camps Bay Cleaners; for two walks through Camps Bay, surprised about how many police persons were seen in Camps Bay, from zero throughout the rest of the year; for an excellent litter cleaning day with my team; for there being far fewer beachgoers today; for the mask wearing increasing to 50% in Camps Bay, from about 20% prior to the President’s Speech on Monday; for spoiling myself with a Pink G & T at the end of a successful day; for two Discovery Gameboard plays, scoring 450 and 160 Discovery Miles, a total of 610 Miles 👏👏👏; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a loooong sleep, over 8 hours long; for only one Loadshedding today, already done this morning, sleeping through the first half, and then walking the second half of it; for having a strawberry milkshake at the brand new Firefly Café, as they currently only stock Rooibos Tea, so I connected them to Dilmah (my favorite) via Instagram; for a second walk, through Bakoven; for a light drizzle most of the day, not stopping me from going outside; for not being sent to bed in the dark by Eskom at 20h00, as has happened twice in the past three days; for completing my steps of the day to Kfm; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
