5 days down - 16 to go

We survived the weekend despite the redefinition of the rules, which mean that we are restricted to our home - no more walks along the Golf course buggy paths!


Our braai on Saturday was fine - great pork ribs - but it would have been better with some additional company. Started with a Fairview Quartz  Rose, followed by  De Morgenzon Pinot Noir  which was a present from Ali and Neil. Both were excellent.


We're definitely the only people in the block at the moment - second from the right - so we have the gardens to ourselves - if you don't count the Aninga, Coots, Little Grebes, Guinea fowl, Spurfowl
 and even a grey Heron which passes by on a daily basis.

We'd completed the first 2 workouts on Friday and Saturday,  but had a day off on Sunday so we are running behind now. We got back on schedule on Monday and even managed an afternoon yoga class.

We also had a visit from a rather curious grey Squirrel.

Meanwhile, we discovered that the internet problems were caused by a break in a cable on the West African Cable system so that it is a country wide problem. Turns out that the break is on a section of cable in the English Channel and that it should be repaired in the next 3-4 days. As a result we have switched from Firestick back to Cable TV. Although it actually means more Montalbano than TV.

  2. Not really any choice Jim. Not much point in worrying about it and as you stay the sun is still shining. Fingers Crossed.
