Lockdown 762

Lockdown Day 762-27 April 2022

Bloem woke us with a 3°C temperature and I was reminded of how I loved the cold crispy Free State mornings. Walking the dog brought back wonderful memories of our time in Bloem. This is where I started this Lockdown diary and Bloem was our first place we had to brave the pandemic.

We talked and laughed about how silly all the dressing up and stripping down exercises were before and after a shopping venture and how some places we drove past brought back memories of teams dressed in white gear ready to spray down someone's offices.

While hubby finished off two meetings I took the pooch for an outing to Coffeetalks Café with Natasha. What a wonderful start to Freedom day.

We left for Pretoria late morning, loving the less than busy drive on the N1.

Our coffee stop was at the Kroonvaal Engen Wimpy. As a coffee snob, I find the cappucino (that comes with their Wimpy cookie) on the menu quite amicable. That is, until today. That cappucino was easily the worst coffee I have ever tasted. I really tried to block out the taste and focus on the warm part, but in the end aborted the mission.

Safely in Pretoria, it warmed my heart to see Lukas and the house I am about to pack up looked pretty and inviting. Lukas made us some scrumptious salted chicken on the fire with delicious veg on the side.

As I lie in bed, listening to the almost forgotten familiar night sounds, I thank God for His healing power in all our lives. For His undeserved love toward us. And for always standing by us no matter what. Like I said yesterday, He is the best in the business. Because He's got this.
