Lockdown Day 35

Last Day of Lockdown Apr. 30 – Last day of the level 5 lockdown before we move to the next stage at Level 4 and get to experience again the joys of fresh air. I’m not a morning person, but I’m so excited to get up early and to leave the house! From 6 –Continue reading “Lockdown Day 35”

Lockdown Day 31

The Dumpling Challenge Apr. 26 – As someone in the house put it, Sunday is Dump day… After a very quiet Friday and Saturday where everyone essentially did their own thing, our house got together for a dumpling challenge. It was a lot of fun to have some friendly competition going and a lot ofContinue reading “Lockdown Day 31”

Lockdown Day 29 & 30

Apr. 24 – I had my first ever migraine and I spent the entire day in bed. The world passed outside my window and I couldn’t be bothered to join it until almost 9pm. Apr. 25 – Feeling a bit more human, I ventured out to the grocery store today. This was my first timeContinue reading “Lockdown Day 29 & 30”

Lockdown Day 28

Here we go again Apr. 23 – Today President Ramaphosa made the national address we’ve been waiting for since Tuesday and this is what we learned: The lockdown will not be extended!

Earth Day Apr. 22 – Earth Day 2020 has most people on the earth in lockdown and this it probably the greatest gift we can give the her – some time to recover. I’ve been so fortunate to be where I am during this time and have been able to enjoy so many great sightsContinue reading “Lockdown Day 27”

Lockdown Day 25

Caged Dessert Apr. 20 – I’ve been avoiding the kitchen for a little bit. I was getting slightly resentful that most nights Selmo and I would be the ones making dinner and in the morning I would be clearing out dishwashers and tidying up again. 3 days a week I’m up early to do PilatesContinue reading “Lockdown Day 25”

Lockdown Day 24

Creating Abundance Apr. 19 – Today I started a 21 day meditation program with a handful of other Ikemban’s. Trying to stay grounded and okay has been getting a little tougher each day. As lucky as I am to be here, being away from friends and family is getting a little harder. I miss seeingContinue reading “Lockdown Day 24”

Lockdown Day 23

Global Citizen Apr. 18 – There are now over 2 million recorded cases of Covid-19 infections and over 150K deaths. It’s crazy to think that in February the majority of us were oblivious to this, only hearing about a virus that was like the flu. Who could have known what an impact it would make!Continue reading “Lockdown Day 23”

Lockdown Day 22

Apr. 17 – Left the house for the first time in 8 days and it was glorious! It makes such a difference to just be out of the house and walking somewhere. The concept of going outside is slowly becoming foreign to me. As we were about to leave I realized I was ready toContinue reading “Lockdown Day 22”
