Corona Gratitude \ud83d\ude4f<\/u><\/p>\n
#Grateful for another beautiful but slightly cooler and cloudy day; for the friendly locals walking past, chatting across the road, even if we haven\u2019t met each other, such a lovely community spirit; for my new \u2018gym\u2019 I \u2018created\u2019 in our building; for the steady drop in my Resting Heart Rate; for meeting my step goal today; for being more active this past week than the week before; for the reception of Kfm being back to normal, after two days of interrupted broadcasting due to the damaged undersea internet cable, and its wonderful dancing music \ud83d\udc83, especially the last hour of \u2018Dinsdag Dansdag\u2019, with fabulous dancing tunes; for DJ Dino Ben Tovim playing for us from his home; for a long catch-up chat with Alex\u2019s Jamie Hoyland, Alex being so busy at work; for the petrol price coming down by almost R2 a liter at midnight; for the R218 money-back I received from Discovery Vitality; and for happily having spent five days in \u2018confinement\u2019 already. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n
I did a Blogpost from yesterday\u2019s Facebook page, and then put out a call to my Tourist Guiding colleagues to send me their notes about the tourism sites they prepared for our practicals, for my new book. I was not in writing mood today, but need to buckle down tomorrow.<\/p>\n
I went down to the garage, and started jogging and power walking in it, round and round, one lap being 50 steps, doing 40 laps, and increasing my heart rate too. #Doublebonus \ud83d\udc63 The other steps I made up via dancing \ud83d\udc83<\/p>\n
I saw a homeless person passed out on the pavement diagonally across from me, a resident from the apartment block next door bringing him a bag of food, to which he didn\u2019t respond, and then the Camps Bay CSI Security arrived, shouting at him in Afrikaans (he is from somewhere in Africa) and chasing him away, giving him a last warning. Phew. \ud83e\udd75<\/p>\n
I bought a ten movie voucher from the Labia cinema to help its Cashflow, via Webtickets, at R45 a ticket, valid for a year, offer available until midnight tonight. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
SA Corona Status: 1353 cases, 5 deaths.<\/p>\n

The Corona Virus Lockdown, announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this week to commence on 27 March and to continue until 16 April, is an unprecedented event in my lifetime. I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.<\/b><\/p>\n
