Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a most fabulous day, with surprises and super organized, packing a lot in; for an early start to my work, so that I could attend a 10h00 meeting, with the confirmation of my third restaurant client, this one brand new, opening next month, starting work on it straight away❤️; for amazing service to have a slow leak in my car tyre fixed at Supa Quick at the Total Garage on Main Road, Sea Point, taking 10 minutes and R100 to remove a screw 👏; for a celebratory chocolate shop at Tomes in the Waterfront, its Garden’s Centre branch having closed down; for a spoil cat food buy at Woolies, Whiskas pouches per box of 12 now cheaper there than at Checkers and TakeaLot; for a spoil scrambled egg and rye toast at the Woolies WCafe; for my dentist being able to refit my tooth within a 20 minute gap which he had available, having to eat baby food today so that the cement can dry; for a spontaneous visit to Tiger Wheel & Tyre, for an inspection of my car on behalf of Discovery Insure, having received an sms today requesting me to do the annual check, at R95, all testing perfectly; for a lovely late afternoon walk through Bakoven, with a beautiful slow sunset, even getting a shot of the sunset with a big splash of water; for being happy, healthy, and free. 🙏💙

My Blogpost today was about my visit to Roots Café and Kitchen last week, now owned by siblings Mel and Jason Laing, who used to work at Firefly Café in Camps Bay.

Roots Café & Kitchen taken over by siblings Mel and Jason Laing, friendly and homely!

I went to visit the new restaurant site with my new client, an unbelievable transformation from when I saw it earlier this year. Exquisite unusual tiles have been used, and the size of the restaurant has almost doubled. It is still a construction site, but getting there. #suchaluckygirl

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.
