Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a lovely warm day at 31C; for a working morning, posting for clients and and facing my #provisionaltax; for an apartment clean up; for our Ebbtide garage door getting brand new beams late this morning; the door as good as new now; for a catch up visit by Brigitte Kaese, now a Londoner, driving her back to Sea Point; for a light supper with Gary Peterson and NF, before walking to the Theatre on the Bay to see ‘Shirley Valentine’, a one-woman ( by Natasha Sutherland, ex-wife of Steve Hofmeyer 😱) show performed to a full (50% socially distanced) theatre, bringing back beautiful memories of ten years of holidaying in Paros and Mykonos, inspired by the Shirley Valentine movie; 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.
