Tuesday 24 November 2020, Day 65 of Level 1, Day 244 of Lockdown 😷
Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for good soaking rain overnight and this morning, clearing up this afternoon; for a very busy working morning; for walking to CitiVet Camps Bay for the first time, to buy deworming tablets for the CatKids, with very friendly service; for a surprise call from Lyndall from Kroonstad, who was in a lift club with me when our boys were at Bridge House in Franschhoek many moons ago; for a second walk through Bakoven; for dancing to Dansdag on Kfm; and for being happy and healthy.
My Blogpost today was about the local winners of the Great Wine Capitals 2021 Best of Wine Tourism Awards, excited to see that two wine estates I had visited in Mendoza in Argentina last year also won awards in their county.
Creation Wines named 2021 South African winner in Great Wine Capitals Best of Wine Tourism Awards!
I am so excited that Chef Sebastian Hendricks was interviewed by Carl Wastie of Kfm on Business Boost this afternoon, about his Cheesecake Checkout. He came to see me some months ago, and I gave him some advice, and he became a member of my Lockdown Facebook Group. He has given up his day job now, baking his cheesecakes full time. Since the beginning of this month he has been selling his cheesecakes at the Biscuit Mill. 👏👏👏👏
I have no American connections, other than my SA ex husband living in New York. I am delighted that the Transition process received the green light today, despite King Trump not yet having conceded defeat. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I loved the Hope @ Home concert tonight, broadcast from Berlin, with lovely lively mandolin music.

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, and lowered to Level 1 from 21 September, 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.
