Day 95 of Lockdown

June 29...and the virus is a reality in our Metro with devastating effects. Yesterday RAPPORT featured shocking pictures and news of the State hospitals.  Imagine doctors cleaning wards and taking linen home to wash.

    Pregnant women were on blankets etc in the passages of Dora Nginza... The scenes looked strangely staged.  But it is the reality.

The acting mayor is suggesting we go back to Stage 4 of the lockdown because the public is not following the basic directives laid down by government. 

  Back to the hospial story... Apparently patients fight about the use of oxygen...  People die waiting for help.      Funeral undertakers say it is a struggle to keep all the bodies safe before burial. Space and logistics come into play. Etc etc...

     But we are safely at home while a serious wind is blowing outside.   Like our yawning happy cat, we feel physically far from the misery.  But it cannot leave the mind...

When Katite / Kata / Red - the cat with many names - is not lazing in the backyard, he is on the verandah in or near the tiny house Kia built for him.

    Kia went to J Bay on Sunday.   This is how the usually busy town's main stallholders area looked like. 

 In Middelburg my aunt Connie v d Walt (92.5) saw her great great grandchild  AC for the first time.
