Friday 2 April 2021, Good Friday, Day 33 of Level 1.

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing day, spending a large part of it sleeping, almost 10 hours in three parts since midnight, being in movie mode; for a lovely refreshing slow walk with Vivian Warby, with a coffee/tea break at Bootlegger in Bakoven, they serving delicious EnMasse Earl Grey tea, and for her Easter gift of a box of Smarties, for my movie time tonight; for a continuation of my walk to Camps Bay after Viv had gone back home, seeing Ashleigh Fleming swim at Bali Bay Beach, and having a surprise chat with the Swiss renter above me; for lovely music on Kfm now; for a perfect blood sugar level of 5,6; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙

My Sweet Service Award goes to Checkers at Constantia Emporium, and the Sour Service Award to Checkers60.

The Swiss renter Patrice and partner above me have been really noisy and unresponsive to regular requests to be more considerate. On my walk home he came up to me, wanting to make peace, apologetic, and requesting assistance to get his garbage into our bin room, which I offered to open for him. Good reconciliation for Good Friday. 🙏

It has been very quiet in Camps Bay today, with minimal traffic other than some extra noisy motorcycles.

The Corona Virus Lockdown (Level 5), announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier to commence on 27 March 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, extended but relaxed on 1 February, and relaxed back to Level 1 on 1 March 2021, 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.
