Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for a lovely day, with lots of clouds creating beautiful ‘pictures’; for getting my work done easily this morning; for meeting Banele, for a trial cleaning walk, spending 2 1/2 hours on the road, so happy to do a deep litter clean with him; for a wonderful deep sleep this afternoon, in a week in which I have not slept enough on
most nights; for the fabulous news that Out of the Blue ladies’ clothing retail outlets has appointed me to handle its Communications 💙; for receiving wonderful coverage for Utopia from Cape Town Etc, the owners of the publication investing in the restaurant industry by publicizing it 👏👏👏; for a walk to Bakoven, spoilt with the most beautiful sunset; for being offered a donation for my Camps Bay Clean from a resident 💙; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙

Banele has recently moved to Cape Town, from the Eastern Cape. I was sceptical initially in working with him, as he can barely speak English, but with sign language we managed well. His enthusiasm is a lovely contrast to what I have experienced before. His sister Boni works in Camps Bay, and she was my translator. She asked me last week if I had a job for her brother.

The Corona Virus Lockdown (Level 5), announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier to commence on 27 March and to continue until 16 April, subsequently extended to 30 April, lowered to Level 4 from 1 May, lowered to Level 3 from 1 June, lowered to Level 2 from 18 August, lowered to Level 1 from 21 September, and moved back to Adjusted Level 3 from 29 December, extended to 15 February on 11 January, extended but relaxed on 1 February, and relaxed back to Level 1 on 1 March 2021, 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.
