Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for a misty drizzly day until early afternoon, whereafter the sun emerged, a wintry feel; for a catch up admin and writing morning; for a walk through Camps Bay at lunch time, and through Bakoven this afternoon; for a meeting with the Chairman of our Camps Bay and Clifton Ratepayers Association Management Committee; for a town meeting cancelled at short notice, so I walked down a street I hadn’t been to in Bo-Kaap, photographing, even a cat that came up to me and started ‘chatting’ – I had a KitKat moment with the cat 😿; for a me-tea-treat at Bo-Kaap Deli, with great tea and very poor service, despite the boss sitting inside too; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙
This morning I wrote about Fideli’s on Parliament Street, a new restaurant/deli next to Pilcrow & Cleaver, both belonging to Chef Judi Fourie. I’ve never seen such a beautifully presented space combining the Deli with sit-down coffee, cocktail, and wine drinking, and eating from 7h00 to 23h00.
Fideli’s Deli opens its doors to freshness and finest foods and wines to enjoy, or to take home!
I had to laugh hearing the very loud schmalzy Christmas Carols played in the Bo-Kaap Deli….. 😱
Our Council garbage bin removal ran very late tonight, so I offered to bring the bins inside to not delay Henry from getting home.
I’ve had a little glass of wine, the last of the bottle, in anticipation of the President’s Speech at 20h00. 😱 Cape Town got off lightly, only affected by the Curfew brought forward by an hour, and beaches only open from 9h00 – 18h00.

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.
