Saturday 24 April 2021, Day 55 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a cooler day today at 22C, clouds this evening showing that a weather change is on its way; for being able to catch up on sleep; for a Camps Bay Community Beach Clean, with low but quality attendance; for being spoilt with breakfast and Dilmah Earl Grey tea on the Beach by Emma of The 41 Restaurant, our Camps Bay Clean sponsors; for three walks today, the second a power walk through my secret Bakoven lanes, giving me 300 Discovery points, and for a walk with Vivian Warby to Bakoven, tempted to join a party with fabulous party music, enjoying chatting on the beach, and finding two heart stones embedded in the Beach sand; for seeing a Moon two days away from being Full; for wonderful music played by Kfm Blokparty now, just wanting to dance 💃💃💃; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

I was chuffed that our Camps Bay Ratepayers Association Committee Chairman Chris Willemse joined the Beach Clean, as did Neil Watson and his 4 and 6 year old daughters Eva and Alice, how fabulous to make them environmentally aware at such an early age. 👏. They won the prize of two Burgers from The 41, for collecting the most litter. ❤️❤️❤️

A really good day, and I exceeded my step goal for the first time in ages. 👣 I have a points goal to meet before the end of this month, almost there. 👣

SA Corona Status: 1,54 million cases 54125 deaths 292623 vaccinations (on hold)

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.
