A Look Back at Lockdown in South Africa - Day 5

Day 5 of SA 🔒⬇️

After a night of interrupted sleep for all of us... 

We all battled a little to get going this morning. 

Despite the slow start, it was a productive day.

Playing Swing Ball in our front courtyard

*  The kids did their schooling and hubby worked online.

*  I sorted out the linen closet and discovered my dear old doll 'Matthew ' hiding in the very back! Matthew is 47 years old. I received him when I was 6! I took a photo of him and sent it to my family group...we had a good laugh about the memories it brought up. My dad would punish my brothers by getting them to sit and rock Matthew until he was ' asleep.' They hated it! It was the worst punishment for a young boy! Now I need to make him some clothes to cover that naked butt!

*  We did the usual Tuesday chores and Nico used the blower to clean up the leaves around our pool area. I am so grateful for garden tools that make the job easier! 

*  I listened to a "Come Follow Me, The Savior Said" podcast and a few chapters of Edgar Rice Burroughs' ' Tarzan of the Apes,' while getting chores done. A fascinating story! And thought to be true! I am enjoying Scribd. What a blessing to have free access to great reading at this time. Thank You, Scribd for granting 30 days of free access to everyone!

*  We ate yummy Chicken Curry for dinner. 

*  We really need to start figuring out some ways to get some exercise! Other than gardening and some swing ball tennis...not much exercising happening here.

Goodnight, friends... stay safe xx
