Sunday 24 October 2021, Day 24 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a beautiful sunny 21C day, with a Southerly wind picking up now; for well-timed Loadshedding at 2h00 this morning, just when Nigerian Alex renting apartment 101 belonging to Rhode Snyman returned home during Curfew with a pack of party-goers, meaning no lights, no music, no lift….. 👏👏👏👏; for a trip to Zest, to meet with my client, but they were so heavily booked for lunch that we postponed the meeting to tomorrow; popping into Spar, seeing new products each time I go there: today Schoon croissants; for a summery ice cream stop at The Dairy Den, where I shared a table with a lovely couple from Durbanville; for sleep catch up this afternoon, clearly not having had enough this past week; for a walk through Bakoven and a part of Camps Bay, thinking I was avoiding Loadshedding, but it is only from 21h00 – 5h00, now extended until Wednesday😱; for my client Harvest Culture Eaterie finally being given permission to change its Facebook Page name from Dale’s Black Angus to Harvest Culture Eaterie after 5 months of the request 🙏🙏🙏; 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.
