#Grateful for the lovely rain which fell overnight; for a cooler but sunny day; for not having to write a story today, having written two yesterday; for two lovely walks through Camps Bay, one combined with a shop at a Woolies, happy to see so little litter; for a lovely chat to Elna SchĂźtz, a freelance writer for Daily Maverick; for a lovely meeting with Michael Duffet, a freelance producer for Carte Blanche in preparation for an interview about one of my Blog court case victories; for dancing to Dansdag on Kfm; for the noisy Ghanaian apartment renters above me having checked out today đđđđ; for the City of Cape Town promising the end of water restrictions and the lowest water tariff from 1 November; and for being happy and healthy. đđ Continue reading →
The best news this year, other than the fantastic winter rain our city has received and still appears to receive this month, is that the City of Cape Town is to reduce the water restrictions from Level 6B to Level 5. 
One of the last statements by Mayor Patricia de Lille was her announcement of the most stringent water restrictions to date, effective from today 1 February, at Level 6B, reducing consumption to 50 liters per person per day, an admission that the City of Cape Town is unable to augment Cape Townâs water supply in time, to prevent Day Zero (now moved back to 16 April)! De Lille has since been silenced and removed from all matters relating to the Cape Town water crisis!
