Tuesday There are things I miss and things I enjoy about lock down. I’m missing seeing David! I’m missing seeing Julian, who of course is now stuck in Johannesburg. I’m missing being able to go to Swellendam to see the … Continue reading →

Monday The world is in a strange, fearful state. Watching the news out of New York is nothing less than disturbing. It’s so difficult to imagine what they are going through, with overloaded emergency rooms and the constant call for … Continue reading →
