Lockdown 454

Lockdown Day 454- 23 June 2021

With a government meeting looming and rumours of hard lockdown going around, I decided to stock up on Glühwein and a few other necessities.

The Glühwein search proved to be a challenge of monumental proportions, as the same stores here as the ones that stock this in Gauteng, do not even know what I'm talking about at the mention of the name. And they are horrified once I tell them it is a red wine with spices you have to heat up🤦🏼‍♀️!

I eventually found Fireside Red at Woolies and my favourite, The Original Glühwein at Tops. Many years ago I tried making it myself, with near disastrous results. Not only did I "burn" the wine, I just couldn't get the spices and the wine to make a homogenous mixture without feeling like chewing cinnamon sticks and green leaves.

So tonight, I retire ready for all kinds of lockdown measures, praying the government will realise the economy cannot handle another shutdown and for them to come up with extraordinary solutions to manage an already out of control virus nobody asked for.

I retire knowing God's got this in a way way we can't begin to imagine.
