Wednesday 7 July 2021, Day 10 of Level 4 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

Grateful for a beautiful 17C day, third day in a row, before the rain hits us tomorrow; for a fabulously lucky Discovery Gameboard play, scoring 750 points on one of the two plays, giving me a Woolies voucher, a good omen for the rest of the day; for selling a SwitchBitch book tiday, thank you Gloria 🙏; for a good working day; for a walk to Pick n Pay to buy some essentials, including batteries for my alarm sensors, an expensive exercise; for a Bakoven walk; for Minsky coping well in receiving her annual vaccination, I worrying about her being traumatized by being in a cat carrier for the first time Continue reading →

Friday 2 July 2021, Day 5 of Level 4 😷

#grateful for sleeping right through last night without disturbance, even if it was only for 5 hours; for a sunshine afternoon, after a grey morning and back to a grey evening, with more rain on the way; for a good working day, catching up on what I didn’t get to in this busy and depressing week; for a lovely uplifting catch-up phone chat with Gary Peterson ❤️; for tidying up a wardrobe and finding my well-worn polka dot leggings, which I’ve worn on both Caminos; for a Bakoven and a Camps Bay walk; for a long chat with Vivian Warby ❤️, both of us having had a terrible week; for a little VitD therapy in the sun this afternoon with my cats; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

From the messages members of the community posted in his honour in reaction to a Facebook post, and from my own experience, Gary was the perfect Manager, always professional, friendly, connecting with customers, knowing our names, keeping products for me when I could not get to the shop immediately, sourcing products not stocked in this small branch from other Continue reading →

Monday 28 June 2021, Day 1 of Level 4 Adjusted 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#gratitude for a day of rain, rain and rain, I likening it to the heavens crying with the Restaurant and Alcohol industries; for a day initially feeling uncoordinated, waiting to hear from my clients about what they are planning, only Harvest Culture Eaterie offering Delivery and Collection from their Deli, but now in my normal working swing; for only one break from the rain, this afternoon, getting to Woolworths and back, making up the rest of my steps by walking in the garage; for a Deja Continue reading →
