Double dip bro!
Day 1 of Lockdown Plus, these are my type of days on the farm, misty and gloomy. Time for some hot chocolate and a good book.
Epic!
08:10 - day 22
It's going to be one of ''those'' days , barely out of bed , haven't even had Coke or A Zoo biscuit and disaster struck . Knocked the Mechman and M25 onto the wooden floor ...tank busted , fortunately there is 14 back up tanks , need to scratch for the straight glass in my bookshelves. Village is very quiet but that won't last long I guess . 2 of the housemates are having a teaching seminar online so the rest of the house is dead quiet .
Oh feedback on the CBD experiment - took the drops about 9 ish last night ,went to bed about 03:00 ...btw it tastes like cod liver oil . So will try again tonight , the cbd juice ... don't know, vaped some last night too , Am I supposed to be relaxed/chilled ? not much different from any other day - did I waste my money ? maybe I'm too impatient .

It may take a while to kick in @ARYANTO , big thing is now to get into a routine, have the drops, then actually lights out and relax in bed, you will just drift off. I made the mistake of waiting for it to kick in, it’s subtle. I’m starting mine tonight as well again, under tongue and then relax. Same with the vape, you will be more relaxed, you just don’t realize it, it differs from person to person.
Day 22 : Had this for the first time last night and from now on they are my new favorite chips
That's another one that worked very well when crushed and used as a batter for chicken, and mushrooms crumbedDay 22 : Had this for the first time last night and from now on they are my new favorite chips

Just stay away from booze when you hoist up this sail. It easily turns into the worst trip you have ever been on.

Day 1 of edtension and I will be leaving the house for the first time since the lockdown! I am amped for nothing more than to drive my car!
Im quite impressed by my calculations as we had just about enough food items as well as vape products set aside for the first phase of lockdown, luckily I trippled up on my purchase of vape supplies so I'll be able to go another 2 months without purchasing, i am however running out of coils but testing the 'coils last for 6 months' theory on all my atties.
We've implemented a more simple approach to living at home without any complaints from the little ones or ourselves. In fact the change is not even noticed even thpugh our savings is phenomenal. We have literally halved the amount of chicken beef and lamb we eat over the 21 day period. We have improvised and not gone out to buy itwms we needed but ratber5just made do with what we have and even though in the greater picture, we are still living somewhat lavishly, I am proud of what we have achieved. We don't know what living simply is but we are definitely living simpler. I feel it is very valuable to be able to adjust and have the support of our kids as the future after lockdown doesn't seem all rosey. It is their history and stories to tell their kids and grand kids moment, of how they 'struggled'.
What I am truky grateful for is my immediate family all living with us, yes we have seperate houses for privacy so that there are no feuds but the support system is just incredible.
Kids are gatvol of the tuckshop so back to the drawing board to come up with some new ideas. Their days are so busy with school and Madressah(religious classes) so they dont get bored but not seeing thwir friends means that i need to fulfill that role and do those activities, if their are any ideas out there, please share!
Good luck forumites! Keep on keeping on!

“As at the end of the Easter weekend, 26 fatal crashes were recorded, which resulted in 28 fatalities. Most crashes involved pedestrians and single vehicles overturned, with contributions of 38% and 19% respectively. The 2020 Easter period was extraordinary as there was limited movement. Despite the lockdown, there were those allowed to travel,” Mbalula.

The DA is in possession of a video clip showing the ANC councillor allegedly violating the regulations by hosting a birthday bash for herself over the weekend.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Limpopo laid charges against Makhado Municipality councillor Tebogo Mamarobela for violating the lockdown regulations.
According to the DA’s provincial leader, Jacques Smalle, the party is in possession of a video clip “clearly showing the ANC councillor violating the regulations by hosting a birthday bash for herself”.
“It is alleged that the video was taken on 12 April 2020, which was councillor Mamarobela’s 39th birthday. She can be seen celebrating with a Makhado businessman and others.”

Sickening
Spent the most part of the morning reading on the day bed with a huge cup of hot chocolate. Normally I could spend the whole day reading, but I got that "Lockdown itch" to keep busy. SWAMBO is home again today, booked off sick with the flu, pending another test result, this is going to be tough times for all our medical personnel. Decided to spoil her a bit, made a shortcrust pastry dough from scratch and by hand, that is chilling in the freezer for the apple crumble later. Currently busy with a bacon, spinach and feta quiche. She tried to protest, something about her uniforms getting a bit tight since the start of the Lockdown. But comfort food and good rest is imperative to the healing process.
And done:
@Dela Rey Steyn there's a lot I have learnt from this forum over the years and recently learnt that you can really whip dishes bud! Lucky my wife doesn't read the forum...you would make me look really bad!
Wanted to make an apple crumble. Seeing that nobody else eats it I took a shortcut this morning.
