Tuesday 16 March 2021, Day 16 of Level 1, Day 356 of Lockdown 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a sunny summery day, at 22C, with a blustery South Easter, especially now; for a productive writing morning; for meeting my new Out of the Blue client at her Willowbridge outlet, not having been there in years, loving how open she is to new ideas; for a quick shop at the big Woolworths there, sadly with poor service, there not being enough cashiers at both sets of till points; for the surprise of seeing a branch of my favorite ice cream shop The Dairy Den at Willowbridge, not being able to resist an ice cream; for a refreshing walk up my favorite Bakoven steps and lanes, counting 100 steps in three lanes in total, the uphill walk plus steps giving me 300 Discovery points, and allowing me to pull my mask down most of the way unless I walk past someone, which is seldom; for a Cash Back from Woolies today for my healthy shopping; for no Loadshedding for us today; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙

Our late night Loadshedding last night allowed me to sleep earlier than normal, falling asleep during the power break.

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.
