Corona Gratitude šŸ™

#Grateful for a day that didn’t go as planned at all, but was filled with highlights; for our Building Manager Henry coming for the day, doing a fantastic job of cleaning up and doing gardening, so lovely to see him again after 8 weeks of him being at home šŸ™; for a very short and sweet Exercise Time, my shortest since 1 May; for going shopping at the Oranjezicht City Farm Organic Market with Shubha Shukla; for meeting Farmer Ian at the Oranjezicht Farm and learning so much from him about the underwater springs and their ’architectural’ style of gardening there; of reaching the milestone of 4000 members in the Facebook Restaurant Food Delivery Group; for returning to my beautiful clean apartment block, after Henry’s hard work; for taking Henry back to Wynberg, giving me an opportunity to have a look at Four&Twenty CafĆ©, now purely a Deli during Lockdown; for Miss Minsky 🐱 being delivered to me just as I got home, both of us excited yet very nervous 😱; for dancing far less than usual, having to give love to both Minsky 🐱 and KitKat 🐱; for going to bed early after a busy day; and for being happy and healthy. šŸ™šŸ’™ Continue reading →

#Grateful for another beautiful day, even though only 18C officially but it felt like 22C or more; a wonderful Exercise Time walk, quite social in bumping into Martin and Razia Myers walking their dog, so we walked a part of the way together, and almost literally bumping into Shubha Shukla; for a week of excellent heart exertion walking with one exception, receiving 300 Discovery points for each šŸ™; for a relaxed Saturday; for driving to the Waterfront to meet up with and celebrate the birthday yesterday of my longest-standing friend Jenny Stephens, from Sub A in Wellington onwards, with a fabulous birthday cake which Food by Kai, a member of the Restaurant Food Delivery Group, had made and delivered to us in the Waterfront; for KitKat popping in for a visit; for listening and dancing to the Top40 by Carl Wastie on Kfm, with so many SA songs on the list šŸ‘; it being such a feel-good day; for my third day of doing 20000 steps; for being healthy and happy šŸ™šŸ’™ Continue reading →
