Wednesday 21 April 2021, Day 52 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a relaxed smooth-flowing day, preparing for my client meeting this afternoon; for always being spoilt with a tea and a biscuit treat at our Anatoli meetings; for hearing from my client Russell about the special 2 for the price of one Smarties deal at FreshStop, on a bigger box size, meaning I’m getting double the Smarties for the same price 👏; for a weather change as I drove home, with fog rolling in at Camps Bay, the temperature dropping from 28 C earlier today to 19C, making it easy to go out for a power walk, up the 100 Houghton Steps and then down First Crescent and Camps Bay Drive, to the Beachfront, with sunsets of a different kind, hiding behind the fog in part, earning 300 Discovery points; for two Discovery Gameboard plays, being able to get a Woolies R100 voucher; for a delicious homemade omelet with shelled peas, prosciutto, and cheese mmmmm; and for being happy, healthy, and free. 🙏💙

I worked on a Blogpost this morning, not quite finishing it, so will post it tomorrow.

FreshStop is an outlet I rarely go to, there being one up the road at the Caltex garage in Camps Bay. I went to the one on Somerset Road, and couldn’t believe their good prices, in addition to their Nestle product special. Avos cost R7,99, one third of the Woolies price! And fabulous service 👏

Two fires in Camps Bay (in the Big Glen this morning, and near Fiskaal Road this afternoon) were quickly extinguished today. 🔥👏

I always worry that I may bore my Facebook friends with my pics, especially the sunset ones. I loved the reply of Johannes Smit when I expressed this: ‘Chris, gathering from your inspiring stories, being boring, is the only thing in life that you are failing miserably at! 💯’ 😂😂😂😂😂

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.
