Day 350 of Lockdown

Thursday, March 11
      The state of emergency has been extended to 15 April. 
       A devestating drought in the Gamtoos Valley is turning the farming region into a large sandy plain. 
       We are thankful for the rain during the night and today.  The temperature dropped and I was transported back to Autum days in Hampshire more than 13 days ago.
     Meanwhile the vaccination situation, state capture hearings and student protests are making headlines.  I am trying to distance myself from the news a bit.   My grandchildren bring great joy.  I can send voice messages to Ilan and he answers intelligently and sometimes sings one of his newly acquired songs! 
    Yael is enjoying walking and moves at a speed while  5-week-old Ariyah in NZ is too cute...        ( 2 pics above intro too ) 
KATYTE went to the vet yesterday... quite an outing, but overall it went well and after anti inflammation and abtibiotic meds seem to be doing  fine.
 Yesterday I went into a "supermarket" for the first time in nearly a year! Kia took me to the new Fruit Lovers Market.  We came home with treats ranging from Salmon to figs and Dutch cheese.
    A few days back ( 8 March) it was international women's day and Kia came home with this cake...
