Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a loooong busy day; for an amazing summer day, at 29C, a taste of summer; for preparing for two client meetings this morning; for a Bakoven walk; for collecting my rolls at Dinkel Bakery; for dropping off the bottle of Adhara Extra Virgin olive oil (Venishree Mayer) to Chef Christina of Tjing Tjing, one of the 2021 Top 10 Woman Chefs; for my weekly dose of Appeltaart and cream at Labotessa Café; for my weekly fresh vegetable shopping at Fideli’s Deli; for an interesting Status meeting at Utopia and Anatoli; for a good walk with a sunset at the Mouille Point Promenade; for dinner at Anatoli with Shuba and Achim from Aquatic Villa Rentals Cape Town, a wonderful evening, Shuba and I ordering the Vegetarian Tasting Menu; for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

The Blogpost today was about the 5 course Tasting Menu which Anatoli has just launched, at R195.

Anatoli launches Mediterranean Tasting Menu, 5 courses at R195, a Taste of Authenticity!

Sad to hear about a suspected drowning and a confirmed fatal shooting in a home in Camps Bay today.

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.
