Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a smooth flowing day, despite it being an upside down one, feeling like a Friday already; for my Discovery medical package change made by Maki Chase today; for meeting one of my Camps Bay Ratepayers Association colleagues at the Promenade, buying an HTH floater at Pick n Pay, and a bib at Camps Bay Hardware (organised via owner Jared Stein on holiday in Mauritius) for my new Gift cleaning helper, starting on Saturday; for spoiling myself with a light breakfast (not the best scrambled egg I’ve had) at The Pottery, but Manager Shaun being very helpful, bringing me a charger for my phone, showing me how they glaze Pottery and fire it in their kiln, for showing me the jewelry and brass teaspoons they sell there; and for being likely to employ one of the Peppertree Kirchen staff 🙏; for working the rest of the afternoon, writing my Blogpost, switching what I intended to write to write about the speculation that the UK would drop SA and our neighbours off the Red List today, and as I finished writing it, the first report to confirm this to happen at 4h00 tomorrow morning emerged, amazed to hear about accommodation bookings flowing in immediately ❤️; for a Bakoven walk, seeing beautiful cloud art; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.
