Monday 27 April 2020, Day 43 of SA Corona Virus, Day 32 of SA Lockdown 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a sunny day and the very strong South Easter reducing in wind speed this afternoon, after soft rain last night; for being able to drop off a cotton scarf which can make 5 face masks; for practicing wearing a mask when out walking to the shops today, getting over the initial claustrophobia and difficulty in breathing; for Woolworths having kept cooked beetroot for me; for seeing minimal litter whilst walking; for getting to my Step quota early on;, loving the music on Kfm this afternoon; for a terrace sun session, but realizing that I cannot just lie and do nothing for too long; for my Resting Heart Rate having dropped back to 55; for recognizing the Freedom in this most bizarre celebration of Freedom Day today 😱; for the City of Cape Town collecting our rubbish today, even on a public holiday; and for feeling happy and healthy. 🙏💙

I wrote a Blogpost about the new Take-Away Food Delivery Facebook page, and am happy to have exceeded 500 members. The first restaurants offering the Delivery service from 1 May have already been listed.

Corona Virus Lockdown: Facebook Page listing of all Restaurants offering Take Away Food Delivery from 1 May in the Western Cape!

I had a long chat with Natalia Joynt Paizee, who owns two Corona Virus Facebook pages, swopping ideas about being page admins.

Woolworths is selling its baguettes and rolls, donuts, and croissants, normally baked in their store but now supplied centrally, in Camps Bay again. 🥖 🥐 🍩

Always in good spirits on a sunny day 🌞.

Freedom Day was spectacularly celebrated in Dubai (Photograph) and in New York.

SA Corona Status: 4793 cases, 90 deaths 😷😥

The Corona Virus Lockdown (Level 5), announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this week to commence on 27 March and to continue until 16 April, subsequently extended to 30 April, and lowered to Level 4 from 1 May, 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.
