There is no plan C

After a day which started with a tough gym session with coach John at The Yard this morning, followed by a relaxed afternoon, we had a two hour power outage just before dinner time followed by some heavy rain and then learned this evening that the SA Department of Transport has announced that there will be no international flights during the three week lockdown which starts at midnight on Thursday.

Looks extremely unlikely that we will be leaving on Saturday, unless there are any further announcements. The UK High Commissioner and British Airways are still seeking clarification but I reckon the chances are slim to none.

So.... guess we are stuck here for the duration. As I said before, there are worse places to be marooned and we have food and wine to keep us going. However, the Police Minister has just announced that it will be a 'dry' lockdown and the sale and transport of alcohol will be prohibited for three weeks.  If you think there was panic buying of toilet roll last week, wait till the punters start on the bottle shops tomorrow!

Anyway, we were originally planning to be here till May, so we'll be able keep you updated on life in the SA lockdown. Might even find a few photos to back it up
