OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

My local post office is closing at the end of the month. I was there this afternoon and the news hit me hard. I really don’t like going anywhere else and feel lost just thinking about the future. I am quite a regular post office client and I am not good with change …

Today was one of those run around, do a lot of stuff, achieve little kind of day. With passing glimpses of tennis. My life needs a revamp.

And loadshedding … Ugh. But I have a plan for tonight’s upcoming hours of darkness: candlelight bath, pink wine (or maybe a cold beer?) and a novel I have been meaning to read for ages. That should make the evening bearable.

My love is coming for dinner first: that makes everything bearable.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
