#Grateful for a sunny but cool day at 18C; for a long sleep; for a busy morning writing and Social Media posting about the Wellington Wine Walk; for a Camps Bay walk, stopped by two Sea Point ladies who were astounded by my pearls I was wearing and not being scared to do so 😱; for being entertained by a kite surfer in the Camps Bay Tidal Pool; for a walk to Bakoven with lots of litter; for a busy week coming up; for another SwitchBitch book sale 🙏; and for being happy and healthy.

#Grateful for hordes of rain overnight and today, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning, but not as dramatic as it sounded, expected for the whole morning, but it was short-lived; for the comfort of my bed, in which I wrote this morning, with Minsky lying next to me to keep warm; for the size of our garage here, allowing me to do a good number of steps before the sun came out for a while, so that I could do a walk to the Beachfront and back, not getting as wet on my walk as I did yesterday; for the brandy I have in my home to add to my tea to warm myself up inside; for having my own home-made soup in the fridge, sharing some with Henry at lunchtime; for feeling happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
