Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a very quiet and relaxed day, mostly spent at home; for being warm at 23C and wind-free this morning, but gusting now, making it unpleasant to do a second walk, so it will be Couchrobics to make up my steps, to Kfm’s wonderful Blokparty, no talk, no adsđŸŽ¶; for work throughout the day; for catching up on sleep; for a Bakoven walk, seeing beautiful clouds; for a lovely sunset; for a call with Gabi in Germany, who had to postpone her trip to Cape Town; for seeing that Daily Maverick selected my sunset pic Continue reading →

Restaurant Week Dinner at Gigi Rooftop, Gorgeous George Hotel, sadly not all gorgeous!

Gratitude for 123 days (4 months) of Corona Virus Lockdown, a new way of living and being!

 

Today 4 months ago, on 27 March, we started a new way of living, in Corona Lockdown. As I wrote a post of Gratitude on Facebook this morning, I realised how significant my Gratitude List is to me, and how I value how I have grown in this short period of time, and therefore I want to document it on my Blog too.

Ultimately, special friendships are highest up on this list. So too is realising how unimportant material possessions are, and that it is the simple things in life that count. Very special is adopting my Minsky cat, a win-win for both of us, and creating a vegetable garden using our own compost. I’m grateful that I could qualify and be registered as a Tourist Guide in this time. And that I have never been lonely with the company of Facebook, my playlist, Kfm, and my German TV stations ZDF and ARD.
