Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a mainly organized day; for it being warm at 31C without wind, after last night’s hefty storm; for preparing for my client meeting this afternoon; for our garage door getting the day wrong, refusing to close today, usually playing up on Saturdays; for ‘fortunately’ forgetting my cellphone at home, having to return from Gardens to fetch it, to find out that Henry was unable to get the garage door to close, so Ms Organizer Chris jumped onto my phone, found the garage door guy recommended by Nicholas Fjord via Gary Peterson, giving us amazing service to get the garage door Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a cool grey wintery day, feeling colder than the 19C forecast for today, with a little rain this evening and drizzle at times; for posting for each of my clients this morning; for a catch up snooze this afternoon; for being able to assist my German tourists in planning their next 7 days here, after they heard last night that their Qatar flight back home was cancelled for today 😱, so I went to see them at the V&A Hotel, and they chose to go to Paternoster for the next few days, I booking them the Strandloper Hotel and negotiating a better rate for them, getting one night free, where after we Continue reading →
