Corona Virus Lockdown: Government announces final Level 4 regulations commencing on 1 May 2020, reverses cigarette sales and allows exercise!

 

In a Speech to the media this evening, Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma went through the key regulations contained in the 36 page document of the new Lockdown Level 4 regulations. Tobacco product smokers are beside themselves in anger, having been told that the sale of such products would be allowed from 1 May, only to be reversed again this evening.  Exercising is allowed with a 5 km radius from one’s home, but only between 6h00 – 9h00 in the morning, the assumption being that dogs may now accompany exercisers, having been cooped up in their homes for five weeks. Schools are scheduled to start reopening on 18 May for Grade 7 and Grade 12 learners, it was announced earlier today. Wine exports appear to be allowed again.  Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for another stunning day, with a bit of mist early this morning; for a long walk to the shops, and to the home of Petra to collect my new cotton masks; for good service at the Camps Bay pharmacy; for a fabulous Vit D snooze on the terrace; for the delivery of some more BioMedCan SLEEP CBD capsules by courier; for being reassured by Councillor Nicola Jowell about going into Level 4 on Friday; for it being International Dance Day today, and for how starting dancing three and a half years has changed my life, bringing out my inner 18 year old teenager, and is keeping me fit and healthy💃; for two Discovery Vitality Gameboard plays today; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a warm sunny day with an active ocean; for being able to walk to the shops for Essentials, the staff in our local shops being exceptionally friendly, such a lovely change; for my sunshine terrace allowing me to gain some Vit D; for a chat with Stuart Bailey; for Dinsdag Dansdag dancing on Kfm, and its heartbreaking stories about financial devastation of locals, the station and Lotto Star giving away R10000 each to 50 locals desperately needing some money 👏; for the gracious professional manner in which Nomsa received the A & G insurance cancellation of my policy, although she did offer me reduced premiums – not sure why they didn’t do this proactively as other Insurance companies are doing; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
