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. 🙏💙

My Blogpost today was about the confidence which the Tourism industry has that International tourists will be allowed back into SA by September.

SA Tourism private sector boldly predicts that International Tourism will reopen in September 2020!

I loved the midday walk, a bonus as I did not expect to be able to get out today, according to the weather forecast. A chilly wind came up, but not too cold. And I was lucky to get the last two croissants at Maison J. My walk through Bakoven was less successful this afternoon, it pouring soon after I left my home. I stood under a tree for a while, and then the rain moved on.
Howard from Tamboerskloof walks here and we see each other walking almost every day. He too got sopping wet. I’m dry now, and ready for bed already, just a few steps to dance still. 💃

It was so exciting to hear Greg Bax of The Rare Grill ón Kfm, interviewed by Carl Wastie. He became very emotional, grateful for the support in these trying times. 💙

I’ve just seen a first flash of lightning, forecast for today and tomorrow. ⚡️

The Corona Virus Lockdown (Level 5), announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this week to commence on 27 March and to continue until 16 April, subsequently extended to 30 April, lowered to Level 4 from 1 May, and lowered to Level 3 from 1 June, is an unprecedented event in my lifetime. I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.
