Life in pictures

Chronicle of a Lockdown, South Africa, Day 10 It was a really wonderful Sunday, with lots of sun. I sat outside to get sunshine on my face and just enjoy the bright, warm day. I even sat on the grass, climbed up and stood on a chair to take pictures and videos. I had an awesome time, a time for gratitude. #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #lockdownweekend #lifeinthetimeofcorona #Africansun #sunshine #sun #nature #gratitude

Chronicle of a Lockdown, South Africa, Day 9 It was a wet and cold Saturday so I decided to have comfort food for supper. We have to cook, after all, or we will starve. #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #lockdownweekend #lifeinthetimeofcorona

Chronicle of a Lockdown, South Africa, Day 9 It was a gloomy and rainy Saturday, but the sun came out for a brief moment and hubby said I should catch the sun quickly. I did, and took a few videos... and had fun. 😝 #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #lockdownweekend #lifeinthetimeofcorona

Chronicle of a Lockdown, South Africa, Day 9 It was a gloomy and rainy Saturday, but the sun came out for a brief moment and hubby said I should catch the sun quickly. The only house slippers I have are the freebies from the Palazzo. They are very thin, and because the ground was still a bit wet, I hurriedly put on my "normal" shoes. This is how I looked. 😂😅😆 #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #lockdownweekend #lifeinthetimeofcorona

Chronicle of a Lockdown, South Africa, Day 9 Friday, day 8 was a busy day for work so nothing else but work happened. It was already a gloomy, rainy day. Saturday was just as rainy. We woke up very late, having gone to bed only in the wee hours of the morning. I think I finished baking banana cake (for the second time in 10 days) at about 2am. I decided to take pics of the rainy day, some plants and my lemon tree. I was lucky to capture the image of 3 chilled birds on our grass. It is evident that nature is thriving during the lockdown. That is something positive for sure. #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #lockdownweekend #lifeinthetimeofcorona #rain #rainyday #rainyweekend #plants #lemontree

I decided to take some pics of the rain and the rainy day. It was perfect timing to catch movements outside. Three cars and two people went past our house in one minute, two max. That's a lot of movement for a lockdown. #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #lockdownweekend #lifeinthetimeofcorona #weekend #rain #rainyday #rainyweekend

Chronicle of a Lockdown, Days 6 & 7, South Africa We went out... to the estate's main gate. Yes, I went out in my robe. Two weeks after I ordered online from Makro, the delivery finally arrived. I'm happy to find out that we are not allowing anyone inside, except residents who are returning from work (essential services and can't work from home) or from buying essential goods. That's why we had to drive to the gate. We kept the box in the car for the whole afternoon and we're leaving the items on the floor for a day or two. You never know if there's coronavirus there. #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #covid19lockdown #lockdown #lifeinthetimeofcorona

Chronicle of a Lockdown, Days 6 & 7, South Africa ...although there's a possibility, something... this (?) belongs to Day 5 (?). Days are starting to blur; other things, too. There's an egg, and there's an egg. Similarly, there's the orange and the other orange. From the two pairs are my favorite to eat. Can you guess which two? I also liked the bread, although it didn't taste like bread. Hubby baked, copying a recipe from Google. I think he baked a Madeira Cake. It was still tasty though. We devoured the two loaves in two days: 6 and 7...? #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #covid19lockdown #lockdown #lifeinthetimeofcorona #darkchocolateorange #terrys #reeses #bread

Chronicle of a Lockdown, Days 6 & 7, South Africa ...although there's a possibility, something... this (?) belongs to Day 5 (?). Days are starting to blur. Perhaps, if I could read... I have so many books to read. I'd like to read. It won't even matter what day it is. But I can't; there are things to do for it's month-end. My month-end lasts for about two weeks... Do you read? What do you read? Do you have time to read nowadays? As soon as I have time to read, I'll read the second book in the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy. I have read only the first one. #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #covid19lockdown #lockdown #lifeinthetimeofcorona #books #iwanttoread

Chronicle of a Lockdown, Day 5, South Africa It's Monday. (Yes, despite the lockdown, I'm no better at the insta part of Instagram.) I have nothing. It's a busy work-day at home. The month-end process of Team Finance starts. I even ended up working until wee hours of the morning. I woke up the next day (today, actual day 6) at 9am, after 4 hours of sleep and tackled work immediately. All I have are memories of 2 years ago and 4 years ago. Ironically, on this day, airport was our spot and travel was the "happening". These were 2 years ago, when Meg returned to Africa from America, and 4 years ago, on our way to Manila. The airport won't be empty and silent for long, and we will travel again. Soon... #lockdownstories #lockdownsouthafrica #lifeinthetimeofcorona #memorylane #mondaymemories
