Corona Gratitude 🙏

#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 🙏; 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 CafĂ©, now purely a Deli during Lockdown; for Miss Minsky đŸ± being delivered to me just as I got home, both of us excited yet very nervous đŸ˜±; for dancing far less than usual, having to give love to both Minsky đŸ± and KitKat đŸ±; for going to bed early after a busy day; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
