#Grateful for a rainy wintry day ☔️, not too cold at 17C, enjoying working in my bed all morning, facing my annual headache of and preparing for the apartment Body Corporate AGM taking place in a week; for a peaceful day; for a rain break early this afternoon, allowing me a Camps Bay walk and buying cat food for Minsky and having a good chat with Bukeka at Absolute Pets; for another walk to Bakoven this afternoon; for Minsky not being adventurous when she was allowed outside 🙏; for lovely chats with Michele Antelme and Jenny Stephens; for enjoying my self-cooked supper; for another fabulous concert by Hope@Home on Tour with singer Tim Bendzko, oh wow, performed in the Muschelgrotte in Potsdam in my Heimatland; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for hordes of rain overnight and today, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning, but not as dramatic as it sounded, expected for the whole morning, but it was short-lived; for the comfort of my bed, in which I wrote this morning, with Minsky lying next to me to keep warm; for the size of our garage here, allowing me to do a good number of steps before the sun came out for a while, so that I could do a walk to the Beachfront and back, not getting as wet on my walk as I did yesterday; for the brandy I have in my home to add to my tea to warm myself up inside; for having my own home-made soup in the fridge, sharing some with Henry at lunchtime; for feeling happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for all the wonderful rain that has been falling since midnight, with more to come, it not yet being very cold, but that is likely to come tomorrow; for a two-hour window of sunshine over lunchtime, which gave me a sunny walk in my shorts and short sleeve top; for a quick visit to Pick n Pay on my way home; for being so up to date with my work that I could allow myself a cosy afternoon watching my favorite ZDF Traumschiff series, the episode being about the UAE; for exceeding 600 Restaurants in the Food and Alcohol Delivery & Collection Facebook Group, with more than 4600 members; for a Bakoven walk with a short sunshine gap but then splashed with rain… ☔️; for dancing the rest of my steps to Kfm; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
