Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a lovely sunny day and NO wind 🙏, the wind having blown over two metal plant pots with my bougainvilleas overnight, not happened in 4 years of living here; for a relaxed day; for the company of Earl Grey when I’m at home, having taken over the spare room as his bedroom; for replying to my clients’ diner reviews; for seeing Viv again, fetching her and taking her to Labotessa for an afternoon treat, enjoying their all-day breakfast; for each of us shopping at Fideli’s across the road; for popping in at The Blue Café, down the road from Viv’s home, not having been there in ages; for a walk to Camps Bay for a Gibson’s ice cream, with a fantastic sunset; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.
