Corona Gratitude đ
#Grateful for a day that didnât 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 đ; 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 âarchitecturalâ 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 Henryâs hard work; for taking Henry back to Wynberg, giving me an opportunity to have a look at Four&Twenty CafĂ©, now purely a Deli during Lockdown; for Miss Minsky đ± being delivered to me just as I got home, both of us excited yet very nervous đ±; for dancing far less than usual, having to give love to both Minsky đ± and KitKat đ±; for going to bed early after a busy day; and for being happy and healthy. đđ Continue reading →
