Lockdown diaries - COVID-19 matters!

[M.Adhir]

I get it when a company was struggling and manage to get some income flowing during the lockdown that they lower salaries. It's better than relying on UIF.

But there are many employers that can buffer the effects of the lockdown that is just using the lockdown as an excuse to lower salaries and break every law when it comes to salaries.

The labour courts are going to be a busy place when all this is over.

100%.
Lots of shady operators out there sadly.
Even worse when they dont apply the reductions equitably- its more about whose derriere you frequent in terms of osculation.

Juice was finished today and was to lazy to mix as Im going to mix tomorrow for a few friends. So I have an old juice that was mixed more than 6 months ago. It was horrible at the time, some kind of fruit mix that didnt turn out good. But wow now its great, taste like banana pronutro with cream. Wish I could remember what was the recipe.

Cream does that. It spoils your mood.
Next time mix a 100ml in a 120ml bottle. Air inside the bottle makes it steep better and faster.

Yeah mixing seems strange like that.

I mixed a Cherry Raspberry Apple on Ice a year ago.
Tasted awful after a week of steeping, I actually called it CRAP ICE at the time.
Over a year later (yesterday) I dug into the reserves so figured hey it's got nic in it, so it will have to do for now.

It's turned into the most amazing juice somehow, a proper melt in the mouth cherry with dashes of raspberry on the inhale and crisp cold apple on the exhale.
Now to try and figure out what I stuck into that recipe a year ago.

Wag n bietjie is daar Leeu's
wouldn't mind a Lion Lager right about now

Also if they were spotted by community members are they surely not now classified as Leopards?

Well rumour got it, and it's a big rumour, that we'll be drinking on Friday. But I think its way too soon.

Just had news that a very good friend of ours daughter has died. Not from Corona but an ulcer related condition. How very sad to have to not only lose a child but under these very trying conditions. She leaves a husband and three children.
My heart is breaking for her.

This is so sad.
Especially at this time when you can't even have people around you for emotional support as such.
My grandfather (and my last living grandparent) passed on at the start of lockdown, I couldn't even get to durban to attend his funeral as this was before they relaxed the travel rules for funeral attendance.

What I saw was Mon - Wed, 8-12 only from liquor stores. No shebeens or restaurants, basically it will be: buy to consume at home as far as I understand.

So while dropping something off for a friend, I stop outside an estate. In 5 min 6 different transactions take place in front of me, two cars stop next to each other, exchange and drive off again. next friends estate wait for 10min outside, I stopped counting at 20 transactions. This is 15min outside two small estates, the blackmarket is thriving

I heard today a loose camel will cost R20 and R8 a Ceasar. A packet of Ceasar cost R8 before lockdown
I don't know of it's marked up or that's just the price it costs, and your right the black market is thriving. People walking into shops with packages and leaving empty handed as well.

My condolences @Stranger, and please extend them to your friend for their great loss. Losing someone you love is trying at the best of times, I cannot fathom how they must be feeling now. Even her funeral is going to be an extra measure of red tape these days. Stay strong!
