Well it seems my good intentions so far have come to nought. How on earth do I make this a habit to keep my blog updated. 

And now I am at a kind of cross roads. AtlanticSunsets is both in Port Owen and Cape Town. After a seriously bad tenant experience at my Cape Town apartment, Atlantica, in which I managed to evict a tenant who it transpired was a Nigerian drug lord just days before lockdown I am now a little frightened to have another long term tenant there while our government still has a pandemic attitude and moratorium on evictions. The druglord tenant whom I managed to get rid of with three days to spare left my apartment absolutely trashed.
 

Not sure if it was due to the way he lived, or if it was malicious damage, but either way I had no way of letting myself or anyone else live there after he departed without a major renovation. The bath was black - maybe from producing dagga oil in it? Tiles ripped off the bathroom walls. Toilet cracked around the base. Floor tiles broken in the kitchen and much more. The entire bathroom, guest toilet, and kitchen had to be ripped out and almost the entire floor had to be replaced.

 

But on the plus side, I now had my property back from Dolly who hadn't been paying rent nor the exhorbitant electricity usage (I guess he was using R1500 electricity per month to run the big aircons to dry all the big bales of wet dagga he was bringing in from his farm at Philadelphia?

And I still had the most amazing view anyone could wish for, but we were going into lockdown, supposedly for 3 weeks although it stretched out to quite a few months, so I couldn't even start thinking about repairs or renovations until the government started relaxing lockdown and travel restrictions in about August 2020
