Friday 5 November 2021, Day 36 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a special day, having to get up early to work, to do what I needed to do in a short working morning; for organizing balloons for Zest Chef Pavel’s birthday today, also celebrating that his Instagram account reached 1000 followers today, a year after I opened the account for him; for Patso Ivanov and I taking Chef Pavel to Lunch at Homespun by Matt Schreuder at the Andros Hotel in Claremont, only having 2 hours for the lunch, just enough time for the three course menu, joined by Chef Matt at the end of our lunch, comparing notes about opening a new restaurant during Lockdown, the two restaurants having opened a few days apart; for getting back in perfect time, to get to my Utopia and Anatoli Status meeting, and also meeting with Ward Councillor Ian McMahon; for picking up my poppyseed rolls at the Café near Dinkel, left there by Cain of Dinkel as I could not get to Dinkel before 16h00; for having one hour to quickly post before we had Loadshedding start at 18h00, going for a walk in Bakoven, and planning my Do List for tomorrow; and for being happy, healthy and free 🙏💙

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