Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a very relaxed day, trying to catch up on sleep, sadly hard to do as the lift in the apartment building running up and down all day long, mainly the clients of apartment 202 belonging to Magsli Seguillon, I keeping record of 16 up and downs in one hour 😱😱😱; for a walk to Bakoven; for Gift coming to clean today, in Bakoven and at the Tidal Pool this afternoon; for a Community volunteer team of eleven clean up from 19h00, filling 40 garbage bags with litter; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#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 Café, 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. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

#Grateful for another beautiful day, at 22 C, and a lovely sunset; for an excellent walk up to Fourth Beach Clifton this morning, so good that I received 300 Discovery points without having finished my 10000 steps, my Cardio being over 70% of my normal heart rate ❤️; for being able to shop straight after Exercise Time, even though we had to wait in a queue outside Woolworths until it opened at 9h00; for being able to collect my two new black and white polka dot masks from Petra Quinlan, and to drop off a pair of shorts needing some repair work; for finding a router lying in Rottingdean Lane steps, which I’ve circulated a pic of on Facebook; for posting more restaurants to the Food Delivery List, exceeding 400 restaurants by tomorrow morning, and exceeding 3000 members; for writing Blogposts for later this week; for a long chat to Jenny; for a wonderful Vit D dose; for being featured in a video on Instagram by my Canadian tour operator about what the first thing is that’ll do when Lockdown ends; and for feeling happy and healthy.🙏💙 Continue reading →
