Day 15,
We had heavy rains in Bloem today and it brought a very peaceful atmosphere. Sitting with the kids watching an animated movie like we usually do on Fridays. No popcorn though as I didn't go to the shops for more than a week.
I was reading this letter and I think this is the type of messages we most need at this point in time. I'm sharing...

Such a beautifully worded letter! Totally agree with her. Movies on a rainy day is normally our go to as well.
 
Being a non essential is making my stomach to have its own postal code.
Stop it i like it;)IMG_20200410_211422.jpg

My wife is a genius and loves baking when she has the time.

Cheesecake... for this weekend...

She says it’s cooling now. Lol I looked at her funny. Clearly I am not a baker. I just know my coils have to cool a bit before putting them under the tap when dry burning. Hehe

@Silver Just replace "cooling" with "steeping" and you'll understand :)

Thanks for sharing and I too will share it. I have so much respect for Ramaphosa. He's calm, dignified, informed. Thank G-d we have him as our President, instead of that Trump clown.

Yesterday's stats places us at 2003 and 24 - up 69 , doesn't look like there is any levelling out yet . The local wildlife is laghing and strolling in the street although we had 2 patrols passing by already. Seen at EWN there is requests from the liquor industry to allow limited sales and another from - E-commerce co's to relax sales on non- essentials , maybe it can/will include vape shops ?

Someone mentioned on one of our local FB groups that he had ordered ink for his printer through Takealot and it had been delivered. I guess printer ink is indeed essential, if you're working from home.
 
Lockdown goal, get wife off of the stinkies. She seems to be taking to the tripod with a butterscotch juice.

Day 1 and she has moved all the stinky paraphernalia into drawers.
