First day of Lockdown 2020

27 March... 
It is war and the enemy is a killer.
    We know we have a medical army stationed in many parts of the world but we also know that it is almost impossible to see this invisible enemy: Covid 19.
    Here I am in my Dust Palace 16 hours into countrywide lockdown and the news, real and fake, come streaming into my brain.
    I am one of the fortunate Senior Citizens,  or members of the vulnerable group (above 70),  that have lots of space, a garden, groceries, medicine, Internet /wifi, etc.
   Above all, I have children who really care and I have faith in my Creator.
   On day 1 of the lockdown, 2 deaths have been noted in the Western Cape and one tragic suicide of a SA woman in Kenia who was in quarantine.
     In Wellington NZ, Eon and Inge spent their first locked-in day as true South Africans with a braai.
    In Johannesburg my grandson learnt to crush eggshells for his gardening projects.
