Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for the rain that has fallen so far, and more to come tonight; for the ‘biblical storm’ not having arrived, it being more of an all-day drizzle; for a hardworking morning in preparation of a client status meeting; for a good client meeting, drinking tea and served wafer biscuits;, for popping in at the German butcher on Kloof Street, fetching figs at Peppertree Café in Kloof Street, at the German Grocer, at the party shop around the corner, and buying some soup Veg at Spar Cape Quarter; for a break in the rain allowing me to do a walk through Camps Bay; and for being happy and healthy.🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for the arrival of Spring, finally, what a beauty of a day at 21C 🌞; for a glorious day; for meeting Johnny Nortje and walking to Camps Bay, dropping off a sample pack of Dilmah Teas at Firefly Café, to try out and to use until they get their tea order delivered; for a fabulous lunch with Johnny at Tindlovu Restaurant in the Camps Bay Promenade, meeting up with Chef Chris Papayannes (whom I’d last seen at the Newton Johnson Restaurant about 6 years ago), and now Group GM of the 10 Tindlovu restaurants around the country; for a drive with Johnny to Blouberg, walking along the Beachfront; for a second Camps Bay walk, walking with Lisa Hayden whom I bumped into when I was actually heading for Bakoven; for the City of Cape Town having spare electricity, which prevented us from being Loadshed at 18h00, coming off scot-free today; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#Grateful for rain and rain ☔️ , the Cape Town dams now at an average of 90%; for a break in the rain this afternoon, which allowed me to walk through Bakoven and Camps Bay, feeling wonderfully refreshed in the 13C outside, loving seeing images reflected in the puddles on the pavements, in a deserted suburb; for getting a lot of admin done today, and for organizing an English class school reunion for next week, being able to speak to each class member ; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
