Wednesday 13 January 2021, Day 17 of Level 3 Adjusted, Day 294 of Lockdown 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a hot 30C day, with just a breeze now; for a strenuous Camps Bay walk with Imtiaz, cleaning half of Camps Bay Drive, from Houghton Road to Ingleside Road, gaining 300 Discovery points; for Johnny Nortje driving with me to fetch the kitten Mr Grey (of 50 Shades of….,) in Plumstead, stopping for a half an hour lunch at Botanicum in Constantia; for Mr Grey being at home immediately, exploring, sitting on my lap at my desk, and sleeping next to me; for receiving 560 points in two Discovery Gameboard plays; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

My Top 21 recommendations for what to see and do in Havana, Cuba!

I arrived in Havana on 3 July 2019, with no preparation of what I wanted to see or do, except that I wanted to learn to dance the Salsa. I was lucky that a slightly out of date ‘Cuba’ Guide by Lonely Planet was lying in the lounge of the San Lazaro BnB I stayed at. I annexed it for the more than three weeks that I stayed there, and found useful background information in it, but perhaps it contains too much information, not just focused on Havana, my only destination in Cuba, therefore making a large part of the book irrelevant to me. Much more useful was the Guidebook ‘300 Things to love about Havana’ by Heidi Hollinger, focused on Havana, divided into the various suburbs of Havana, with an address, a good representative photograph, and largely accurate in its descriptions, even if published in 2018.

Sweet Service Award goes to Openserve; Sour Service Award goes to Comet Surveillance & Infrastructures (Pty) Ltd !

The Sweet Service Award goes to OpenServe, for their installation of a fibre internet line directly into my apartment, via a new internet provider. While they did not finish the job on the same day, they stayed until 19h00 to complete everything that they could, having to call in Telkom to fix a line problem at the pole. This happened promptly the following day, and my WiFi was up and running smoothly, and has not given a day’s problem in the past two months.  Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Sorbet Camps Bay; Sour Service Award goes to Facebook/Instagram!

The Sweet Service Award goes to Sorbet in Camps Bay, and its owner Debbie, for her service recovery. When I went for a Pedi, I did not notice until I got home that the staff member assigned to me had used the wrong colour on my toes, despite me asking for the nail polish Sorbet Ice is Nice colour to match that of my finger nails. Debbie offered for the nail colour to be redone the following day, an offer I accepted gratefully. This is the second Sweet Service Award for this Sorbet branch. Continue reading →
