Corona Gratitude đ
#Grateful for an interesting day of surprises; for more sun to warm up the winter day, but the clouds still made it a chilly day, not quite as cold as yesterday; for having no writing to do, having written todayâs story yesterday afternoon; for tackling Sandak-Lewin in more ways than one, not wanting to divulge too much right now; for organizing the rest of what is to become a very sociable spoiling week; for warming Camps Bay and Bakoven walks, happy to see Telkom workers fixing a badly damaged manhole and surrounding pavement; for the privilege of being able to call Councillor Nicola Jowell twice today; for our transplanted carrots growing beautifully after all the rain; for the invitation from Woolies Camps Bay to feature in a video tomorrow; for dancing to Dansdag Ăłn Kfm; for getting an early night, as at 20h00, with the compliments of ESKOM Loadshedding đ±đ„”; for the generosity of Martin Koch for fetching our Tourist Guiding Badges, and bringing mine to me this afternoon; for a cat chat with Michele Antelme; and for being happy and healthy đđ Continue reading →
The Sweet Service Award goes to TakeaLotcom, for its beyond efficient handling of customer collections of orders the day before the Corona Virus Lockdown. The day before I had communicated with one of their staff, who told me that my order could not be collected because one item, the skipping rope I needed for my Lockdown exercise, was not in stock. She assisted me in ordering a different brand which was in stock, and the next morning I received a message to say that I could collect my order. There was a short queue at the entrance to the Business Park in Montagu Gardens, I found parking easily, and found the entrance. I had to check in on a Tablet at the entrance, someone assisting me. I then sat down in the Collections Department, expecting a long wait, but it was less than 5 minutes before my name came up on the screen. I had to sign a piece of paper, hand in a form at the exit, and off I went with my skipping rope, the collection taking ten minutes! Later that day the rest of my order was delivered to my home.
