Thursday 29 July 2021, Day 4 of Level 3 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful to Kelly Szabo and Michele Antelme for being my guardian angels when the trolls strike; for good rain today, for most of the day, chilly at 15C; for a busy morning, writing copy for a newsletter and a promotion on top of my usual client posts ; for Earl Grey being his normal self again today; for seeing the staff at Utopia again, after 4 weeks, for my Status Meeting; for my Dinkel rolls waiting for me; for a fabulous wave shot when I went for a Camps Bay walk this afternoon; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

What a shock to read of the passing of Asher Isaacs due to Covid, former co-owner of My Sugar, such a friendly person. #RIP

And to read about The Test Kitchen closing down in September. 😱

The Test Kitchen to close down end September, Third Top 10 Restaurant to close down in 18 months!

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.
