Wednesday 25 August 2021, Day 30 of Level 3 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a stay-at-home catching up admin day; for my new housekeeper Faith cleaning my home, far better than my previous one, she being the sister of my favorite petrol attendant Mike; for a Camps Bay walk to Woolies, with massive waves and a good sunset; for the luck of seeing two heart clouds over Lions Head today ❤️❤️; and for being happy, healthy, and free. 💙🙏

My Blogpost today was a profile of Chef Charné Sampson of Epice in Franschhoek, one of the 2021 Top 10 Women Chefs.

Meet Chef Charné Sampson of Epice: 2021 Top 10 Woman Chef!

Earl Grey disappeared all day, not reacting when I called him. I became really worried. He seems to be frightened of new persons in our home, and then he goes into hiding. I was so relieved when he reappeared at dinner time. 😻

Thank you to everyone who has so kindly voted for Utopia in the Kfm Best of the Cape Awards. Voting closes at midnight tonight. 💙

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.
