Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a lovely warm 27C day, Camps Bay less busy than usual due to our sewerage pump station problems, therefore reducing the litter volume; for a busy morning, replying to all my clients’ reviews; for a lovely veil of mist moving in around Lion’s Head, making my afternoon walk photographs all the more special; for a tea date with Ingrid Grobe, whom I met at our Woolies, living about 8 apartment buildings from me, not understanding why her lift wasn’t working – we had chatted so much that it was just after 18h00, loadshedding time….. so perfect to walk down to the beachfront and Tidal Pool for the two hours; for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

You know that when someone lashes out at you by swearing in reaction to an email of complaint I sent to Ebbtide apartment 101 owner Rhode Snyman about her client in our building creating a security breach by leaving our garage door open last night that you are getting to them. #victory😊

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