Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for managing a 31C day, with no wind; for a day of nose to the grindstone, working and writing; for amazing messages of support received ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️; for a late afternoon sunset walk to the Tidal Pool, with lovely clouds adding to the sunset; and for being happy, healthy and free.🙏💙

My Blogpost today was about the 20 MasterChef Season 4 contestants. What a mixed bag, will be a most interesting Season!

MasterChef SA Season 4 2022 announces 20 home cook contestants!

This message arrived from a Blog subscriber early this morning, a wonderful way to start the day, this an excerpt of it: ‘I have come to know you as an extremely fair but brutally honest person, and by god, we need more like you! WELL DONE for not being a pushover and doing what you do best! We have the utmost admiration for you!! Please don’t ever stop and let these losers put you down’. #thankyou ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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