Hot Date

Yet another really good weekend, we must be on a roll. On Saturday the love of my life took me to lunch at Cape Town Fish Market, Canal Walk. We arrived early as we were rather peckish and our waitress led us to a table by the window, the better to watch the shoppers. I am really impressed by the way this restaurant seems to be tackling the big R (recession). They have some good deals on the menu (sorry, forget the wine list), various combo meals starting at R65. The Sushi is always excellent and this meal was no different. So, after two Sushi plates and a Kingklip Bento box I still had a tiny space to share some cheescake with my man, just call me Porky.Our waitress, Nafeesa was perfect, not too attentive, no questions when our mouths were full and just friendly enough. 10 out of 10.
Earlier we were at Merripak and Fabric City, two more businesses where good sense has prevailed, prices are right and the staff are really nice. What a pleasure.
But, this is just what every company has to do, not just try harder but maintain a high standard of performance. Whether you're the boss or the worker, give what you expect to receive from others and don't even mention the S word, for every one striker there are at least 10 unemployed.
I heard on Sky News that QE2 hauled the wan, sorry, bankers, over the coals at a dinner, asking why if they're such financial experts the weren't able to foresee the monetry chaos - or words to that effect. A question on many of our minds.
So, the sun is shining, another working week but a good weekend to look back on. I read today that the final Harry Potter book is to be made into two movies, releasing in 2010 and 2011, John Travolta is deep in depression - a few group distance Reki's perhaps - and I really hope Angelina J has left her hotel room.
So much more to enjoy and I don't want to miss any of it. We'll take the grandkids to the Scratch Patch in a couple of weeks time, Granny needs stones for the garden, we're building a tiny labyrinth, the fairy houses were fixed up yesterday after the winter weather. We'll stop off for Marcelle's on the way home and say to one another
"Aren't we blessed!"
