Cyril's last address told us that we could be moving to Level 3 of lockdown by the end of May, and there has been lots of press speculation about how and when, and whether the major infection hotspots - Cape Town, Joburg and Durban - would be excluded from the relaxed rules. Today we learned that the rules may be relaxed in some areas even sooner but still no details.
However, we also heard from the British High Commission this morning that they have arranged another package of repatriation flights - 7 from Capetown and 3 from Joburg - between May 23rd and June 4th.
With international commercial flights banned until Level 1 - which could be into next year - we decided to sign up for a flight home this time and now we wait to hear whether we have got seats and when we will fly. No other details at the moment but it looks like we should be home in Edinburgh some time in the next couple of weeks.
That's the good news. The bad news is that I've just started a 2000 piece jigsaw and I'm not sure there'll be time to finish it!

Fingers crossed . Keep us posted
