Friday 21 May 2021, Day 82 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a productive writing morning; for welcoming the sun back again on a beautiful day; for a calm and peaceful day; for Wally a new cleaner coming to work for the first time, he and I spending three hours cleaning up litter on steep embankments in Bali Bay, at former homeless structures, and around the Tidal Pool, all the way up to Glen beach; and for being happy, healthy, and free. 🙏💙

The Sweet Service Award went to Labotessa Café; the Sour Service Award went to Discovery.

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.
