Corona Gratitude <\/u>\ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n

#Grateful for another beautiful day; for a good long night\u2019s sleep; for being healthy and fit; for keeping my weight steady; for feeling happy, especially when I dance to Kfm\ud83d\udc83; for having Woolworths so close and for its excellent service in organizing stock of products they are short of; for finding masks and sanitizers at Litekem Pharmacy today; for passing my Garden Route exam; for reconnecting and forgiving; for the City of Cape Town trucks collecting garbage from the green bins plus our residential bins; for exceeding my step goal today; and our ever more amazing President . \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n

I did my Blogpost of the day. My feet started moving early on to the lovely Kfm music, even though the reception has been up and down due to the Internet sea cable problems. 5000 steps easily done by lunchtime. I started my next book, creating its Content outline. \ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n

My \u2018missing\u2019 Argentinian neighbours have reappeared, now living above me and no longer next to me .\ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n

I\u2019d heard that Litekem pharmacy in Camps Bay has stock of Santiser spray and liquid, as well as masks, so I headed there to buy some. They have gloves too, which I\u2019ll buy on my next shopping trip. Woolworths had celery sticks for me, and I found marshmallows at a very quiet Pick n Pay. I\u2019ve decided to do a nightly marshmallow toasting using my candles to celebrate another successful Lockdown day. I walked to the shops via Camps Bay Drive, picking up litter on the way.<\/p>\n

Lovely Vitamin D intake on my terrace this afternoon, good for the immune system. Then long phone chats with Martin Koch and Stuart Bailey.<\/p>\n

I received my Garden Route Tourist Guiding exam mark, not very happy with 74%, far beneath my normal mark level, but it was a difficult one with too little time. At least I have passed and have the certificate. \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n

Waiting for President Cyril\u2019s next speech, due for 19h30. Just happened, he speaks so calmly and positively, giving us hope in the crisis. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
