Did you come right?
good eye .
Day 8 --07:55 [week one done]
After a very quiet day yesterday , ''our'' count stands at 1462 -82 up. We had rain in Jozi last night , so it's quiet and a bit chilly today.The streets are quiet and I haven't heard a taxi . One of the housemates went out yesterday and replenished my Coke and Zoo cookie supply ,nothing else needed. I look at the pile of tinned food on the lounge table and wonder why we have only used 1 tin of mixed vegs, and nothing else but 2 cans of dogfood .
But then ... in Port Shepston the Spar's shelves are empty and PnP is not far behind ,As per report from friends there. I'm looking after a ''baby'' vaper , one of the housemates have decided to start vaping , told him the ins and outs and started his merry journey with my red Gen and a Dead rabbit , he seems to be a flavour chaser and not a clouds man. Shame , he is so anxious to get his own gear -grin-. Wish I had a big brother to show me the ropes and save me a LOT of money .
16:53 - across the road from me is a guy with a bakkie that's in and out since this began , just now SAPS pulled him over and gave him a fine , now he's on the stoep performing ,don't think We'll hear him starting up soon.
Till later fellows...
LATEST 1505 - 43 up from yesterday

First week of Lockdown is over. It's a cold and overcast morning. Made myself a celebratory cup of "Polisie Koffie" with a tot of Rum. (if any DIY gurus ever get this profile right, I would buy it by the liters!) Strolled down to the Avo field of our landlord for a morning coffee & vape. Realised how thankful I am for all I have during these times. I did not "survive" the first week. There was nothing to survive. I have food on my table, a roof over my head. I get to spend quality time with my loved ones. There are a lot more people with a lot less than me, truly having to 'Survive' these next 2 weeks. Going to take some excess food to the local mission this afternoon. I implore all of us that are able to do so, to do the same. Have a great day fellow Forumites!
Dammit i forgot the Zoo Biscuits again
Been living off the Checkers Sixty60 app - they deliver in our area and i've managed to get bread, flour, yeast, yoghurt, butter without issues.
And only 60 minutes delivery time.
@Dela Rey Steyn you are so right bud...truly keeping all those in despair in our prayers each day. And wonderful act of kindness. We have been discussing the same for this week and plan on doing something like that this weekend but just don't know where. If any knows of places we can drop of clothes or extra food during this lockdown in the northern parts of Jozi please let me/us know!
@M.Adhir thanks bud...downloading app now. That's damn efficient during these times!Dammit i forgot the Zoo Biscuits again

Yeah the longest delivery time i've faced with them was still same day delivery so was fine by me.
Just check areas though - its in pilot so very few areas being covered.
Yeah bru...some areas not covered as yet but im sure this will increase as the days go by.
Why can't the S/O just give us one shopping list though
It's like we need or run out of one thing every day!
Good on you for showing him the ropes @ARYANTO
He is lucky to have you to guide him
We often take for granted how much of a learning curve we enthusiasts have gone through
And you are right it can save others a lot of cash and frustrations
He did indeed, thanks to @vicTor

.... and you left her a cup of coffee at the fence.
I could do with your land and tent. Just received letter from NHS because my wife has a underlying condition. She is suppose to not leave the house for 12 weeks and for me to do all the shopping fetching medication etc which is no problem as that's what i have been doing anyway. But the letter goes on to say because i will be doing that even while keeping social distances there is a risk of me getting the virus so the letter says we should keep a distance of 3 metres apart, avoid being in the same living space, use separate bathrooms and sleep in separate beds. We only live in a tiny one bedroom flat!
They must sponsor you with a bigger house. The guy who wrote you the letter must be smoking some good stuff!
Standard letter going to those with underlying conditions with instructions for others in household but yes whoever wrote the template letter is obviously on a good salary living in a large house and out of touch with the fact most people live like me, use different bathrooms lol i have never lived anywhere that had more than one bathroom!
That's crazy, how do they expect you to accomplish that? Because SWAMBO is the Matron at our local Private Hospital we are also separated from bed and table for the next few weeks/months as she is high risk for exposure. But we atleast have a spare bedroom. She also needs to keep a fair distance from my 68 year old father in law that lives with us. Thinking of you bud, stay strong and hope you find a way to make it work and keep your wife safe.
Lockdown rules are rules, she needs to keep her distance!
My wife said does that mean we can't have sex, to which i replied "it say's 3 metres, i only have 4 inches"
Coffee with Rum - great idea for a coffee juice @Dela Rey Steyn. Maybe @YeOldeOke could give it a bash!
Coffee with a dash of Brandy is rather lush as well!
If you get the taste for it though have to be careful it doesn't evolve into Brandy with a dash of Coffee!!!!
Here's something interesting to watch - they interviewed the organiser and showed clips from the drives on CNN this morning.

You can go on a virtual South African safari to spot the 'Big 5' in real-time from your couch
"... Now you can add taking a South African safari to the list as experiential travel company andBeyond and wildlife broadcaster WildEarth have partnered up to stream game drives twice a day, which virtual adventurers can watch live from home during the whole of April.
Check the drive schedule and tune into Wildwatch Live for a sunrise or sunset safari with the aim of spotting the "Big Five" in real-time, including lions, leopards, elephants, and a variety of other animals.
The tours are hosted by andBeyond and WildEarth field guides across two South African game reserves: andBeyond Ngala Private Game Reserve and Djuma Private Game Reserve. Each session lasts for roughly three hours and watchers will be able to interact with the guides as if they were in an actual game drive vehicle.
Afternoon drives will have the first 45 minutes dedicated to younger wildlife fans - kids are invited to ask questions of the hosts on a selected day if parents sign them up through a specific portal. Or for personalised responses, families can email kidsquestions@wildearth.tv with their animal queries.
As well as the safari drives being broadcast on andBeyond's Facebook and YouTube channels, WildEarth and andBeyond are also running Instagram Live videos led by game reserve experts."
