Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for gorgeous unexpected rain this afternoon although my Ant App certainly predicted it, and it being 10C cooler today; for a busy writing morning; for seeing my cleaning team only briefly, as our walk together was rained out this afternoon; for all the wonderful music to which I have been able to dance to on the Kfm FlashDrive show of Carl Wastie and Zoe Brown, keeping me sane throughout all Levels during Lockdown, doing its last 2020 broadcast this afternoon; for a lovely relaxing Pedicure at Sorbet Camps Bay, getting a 50% birthday discount; for getting two Discovery Gameboard plays, bagging another Woolworths voucher of R100 at the cost of 750 Miles (R75), and finding that I have a spare unused one; for a lovely cool walk through deserted Camps Bay this afternoon, checking with each restaurant if they will be open on all the public holiday days; for a one hour afternoon deep sleep after a very short sleep last night; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#Grateful for all the wonderful rain that has been falling since midnight, with more to come, it not yet being very cold, but that is likely to come tomorrow; for a two-hour window of sunshine over lunchtime, which gave me a sunny walk in my shorts and short sleeve top; for a quick visit to Pick n Pay on my way home; for being so up to date with my work that I could allow myself a cosy afternoon watching my favorite ZDF Traumschiff series, the episode being about the UAE; for exceeding 600 Restaurants in the Food and Alcohol Delivery & Collection Facebook Group, with more than 4600 members; for a Bakoven walk with a short sunshine gap but then splashed with rain… ☔️; for dancing the rest of my steps to Kfm; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Tuesday 5 May 2020, Day 5 of Level 4 Lockdown after 35 days at Level 5 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a lovely warm sunny day; for getting so used to our Exercise Time, that 14C at 7h30 feels warm enough for a sleeveless exercise top, and for being so energized and warm when I return home that I can sit down and work immediately; for bumping into Haakon and Thomas again, and walking with them on my way back home, a lovely (unplanned) way to meet up with friends; to stumble across the Surfer Protest at Glen Beach, without knowing initially what it was all about, until I read that it happened at a number of beaches, with police action in Sea Point and Muizenberg but none here; with litter along the way to pick up, still balking at removing the dog poo along the way; for the lovely pics I can take at this early start to the day; for my fabulous friend Llewellyn Lambert who helped to reduce the content of my Blog as it was exceeding the capacity of my web host, and fixing a few other Blog design issues – such a good friend that he has all my passwords, and it is he who umhacked my Social Media Accounts almost a year ago; 🍎🍎🍎🍎 for Auto & General Continue reading →
