Days 62 and 63 of lockdown passed in the knowledge that by Monday some of our restrictions will be lifted. That is, we can gather in groups of up to 10 people ... we can sit at the outdoor terraces of local coffee shops ... we can spontaneously visit shops where previously we needed an appointment.
I have mixed feelings about all this, but I've written about that before so will just leave it there for now. I think we are all coming to realise, to a greater degree, that we can only do today.
So ... the weekend activities have come to be a little predictable here.
We hiked.
We read books.
We chatted around the fire pit. We joined church online. We had a braai.
This weekend we also did Manu's hair.
(Thanks for all the messages of concern for her, by the way. We are waiting on the results of blood tests. In the meantime, while she can be pretty perky - as you can see - she is also complaining quite regularly of fatigue, dizziness and headaches.)
And various creative projects continued.
In search of new ways to do 'date nights' Tim and I have signed up for a 90 minute poetry time with
David Whyte this evening. I just realised we don't have any wine to accompany our date. Drastic.
How are you finding new ways to connect these days?
