Saturday Today began with a little work. I had checked my work email and saw something that needed immediate attention so I attended to it before going back to bed. I noticed that rain is coming… So after we got … Continue reading →

Good Friday Today was a special day. Mike and I watched church and shared communion. The rest of the day unfolded in a quiet and gentle fashion. We had coffee in the back garden. And then later this afternoon we … Continue reading →

Thursday Another quiet day with not much happening. I took my laptop onto the patio and worked there for a while, which was nice. We had our last food delivery. I haven’t ordered any more food online because I think … Continue reading →

Wednesday Apart from work, a number of little things happened today that in the normal scheme of things would be completely insignificant but because it’s lock down, they were events. I cut my finger – it stopped bleeding and then … Continue reading →

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 →
