Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for an upside-down day, but nevertheless successful, the first day that I felt in control of my work this week, not having got to everything every day due to Loadshedding; for letting Loadshedding guide me, when it started at 6h00 this morning, so I went for a 7h00 walk, nice and fresh; for completing the November newsletter for newkings boutique hotel this morning; for posting on Social Media for each client; for organizing the Camps Bay Community CAMPS BAY CLEAN and a lunch tomorrow; for buying tickets for the Evita Bezuidenhout Lockdown show next week; for Earl Grey arriving after a 7 hour absence today, petrified that something had happened to him, he going into hiding sometimes 😻; for Minsky sleeping on my bed most of the day 😻; for lovely rain this afternoon; for a well-deserved first Gin of the Summer after my work was done; for celebrating after hearing that Loadshedding is done for the time being from 20h00; and for being happy, healthy and free.🙏💙

My Sweet Service Award went to Labotessa Café; the Sour Service Award went to ESKOM.

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