Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a sunny day at 18C, but chilly now as clouds roll in for rain later tonight, with very cold winter weather awaiting us from Thursday onwards; for an early Manager meeting at Zest, the first which I have attended, followed by a Marketing meeting with Chef Pavel, and then greeting two sets of Camps Bay guests in the restaurant; for having the slow tyre leak fixed at Super Quick in Sea Point, taking 5 minutes and costing only R100; for donating blood, receiving a cooler bag which doubles up as a seat too, it is so strong, and a pair of socks, which I’ll donate to a car guard; for a working afternoon to catch up on my work; for a refreshing walk through Bakoven; for going to bed early after the past busy weekend; and for being happy, healthy, and free.

My Blogpost today was a profile of Chef Judi Fourie, one of our 2021 Top 10 Women Chefs.

The Corona Virus Lockdown (Level 5), announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier to commence on 27 March 2020 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 2021, extended but relaxed on 1 February, and relaxed back to Level 1 on 1 March 2021, moved back to Adjusted Level 2 on 31 May, moved back to level 3 on 16 June, and moved back to Adjusted Level 4 on 28 June, extended by two weeks on 11 July, and returned to Level 3 on 26 July, 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.
