Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a beautiful 27C day, very relaxed yet writing four Blogposts for the week ahead; for a Bakoven walk; for a Vitamin D dose; for more than surviving two years of Lockdown 😷💙; for a lovely sunset walk to Camps Bay, still busy at 19h00 on such a gorgeous beach day, treating myself to a Gibson’s ice cream cone….. 🍦; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

My FitBit strap came loose during my walk, luckily I didn’t lose it. The kind manager at Woolies gave me an elastic band so that I could fasten it to my wrist to not lose any steps. 👣👏 I’ve ordered 2 replacement straps from TakeaLot. Continue reading →
