Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #13 Lockdown Day #4

Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #13
Lockdown Day #4
Reading about so many terrible things happening in the world, how lucky are we to have a home to isolate, think of those who don't, all the homeless and especially those densely populated countries like South Africa, the Philippines and India just to name a few. Counting all my blessings today, the fact that I am still able to work, however all the self employed who are worrying about what tomorrow might bring and in fact all of us wondering what tomorrow might bring. It made me think of our parents and grandparents who may have been around during WW1 and WW2 when it went on for years and they had no idea when it would end. #staysafe #stayhome #staysane

Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #12 Lockdown Day #3




Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #12
Lockdown Day #3
Happy Monday, I always feel the hour we lost when it comes to day light saving in Spring, happy Monday everyone!
We laugh, we cry,
We live, we die,
and when we're gone, the world goes on.
We love, we hate, we learn too late,
How small we are, how little we know.
We hear, we touch, we talk too much,
of things we have no knowledge of.
We see, we feel,
yet can't conceal,
How small we are, how little we know.

Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #11 - Happy Friday everyone! 

Facebook reminded me today of so many things I have to be grateful for:-

  • Today in 2009 I saw Tina Turner perform live in Dublin wow she was incredible, the dear old lady is 81 this year!
  • Today in 2010 we were on our way to Sicily which was another awesome holiday, and we almost didn't get back because of the Ash cloud.
  • Today in 2015 we arrived in Paris for a week holiday and I got to spend my birthday at the Moulin Rouge
  • Today in 2016 we were in London and got to spend an awesome day with lots of our friends who live there, MandyDavidKenny, Jean and Lynn 
So be grateful for all the wonderful memories you have and don't stress about what is happening in the world right now, this too shall pass ... Love you all

Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #10

Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #10 I was reading News24 and the rather drastic lockdown measures they are taking - https://www.news24.com/…/coronavirus-the-rules-you-need-to-…

Things like NOT being able to walk your dog or go for a walk??? AND worst of all, No alcohol for sale at all for sale, be it in grocery stores or anywhere - Prohibition!
Prohibition is the act or practice of forbidding something by law; more particularly the term refers to the banning of the manufacture, storage (whether in barrels or in bottles), transportation, sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
It seems to me that Crime will escalate in South Africa so guys be vigilant and look after yourselves and each other! And if you need a drink find a way to get to Ireland, although the pubs are closed you can still buy alcohol in the shops! Prost! Salute! Cheers.
In a zoom meeting this morning, one of the presenters mentioned Napolene's quote about drinking champagne, so I had to research it: “In victory, you deserve Champagne; in defeat, you need it.” — Napoleon Bonaparte. The classic excuse for drinking Champagne no matter what happens comes from Napoleon. Bonaparte may have followed the logic as he took over Europe, but there's no record of him ever actually saying it.
To that I bid you farewell until tomorrow! 💚😁😍🌹

We are all equal ...

I have been wanting to say this for ages, but didn't know how to put it into words ... so Bill Gates did it for Me: -
The Coronavirus - It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should too.

Coronavirus Curbing the spread - WFH Day #9 - 

Facebook reminded me today that a year ago today was one of my last days in ICU.

When I look back at these photos of me in ICU and the one with me on the ventilator, my heart  goes out to all those people who are in hospital with the Coronavirus, I can sympathize first hand as last year I would have been in ICU with pneumonia, and other complications - On March 11th 2019, Derrick found me at home collapsed and called the ambulance, I was resuscitated twice on the way to the hospital, and was in a coma for about 5 days, drifting in and out of consciousness. But hubby was there all the time, taking to me and praying.  

I didn't want to share the rest but this was the last one of me taken in ICU a year ago! Everyone stay strong and stay at home!
