Monday 2 August 2021, Day 8 of Level 3😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a very abundant day 🙏🙏🙏🙏; for a very busy morning, having a midday deadline to get my admin and client work completed successfully; for a Bakoven walk; for a warm sunny day of 21C, being able to wear a sundress; for a meeting with my client Chef Pavel at Zest; for staying over at my client newkings boutique hotel, to test a room; for dinner at Zest Restaurant, well booked this evening; and for being happy, healthy, and free.

My Blogpost today was the call for nominations of the Top 10 Women Chefs in the Cape.

Woman’s Month: Help us to salute the Cape’s Top 10 Women Chefs!

At Zest I enjoyed the beetroot-cured Salmon , a tender small fillet steak with delicious chips; and a brand new dessert of roast pineapple, pumpkin cake, warm caramel sauce, and peanut ice cream.#luckyspoil

The Corona Virus Lockdown (Level 5), announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier to commence on 27 March 2020 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 2021, extended but relaxed on 1 February, and relaxed back to Level 1 on 1 March 2021, moved back to Adjusted Level 2 on 31 May, moved back to level 3 on 16 June, and moved back to Adjusted Level 4 on 28 June, extended by two weeks on 11 July, and returned to Level 3 on 26 July, 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.
