Tuesday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day I found the picture we had computer generated in 2011. It was also done in the booth at Caledon Hot Springs. This last month, we had this one drawn…
This next is from September 2011…
Most importantly, we look happy and healthy! I also think Rembrandt has improved over the years!
I took Julian to the airport today. After the weekend storm, there was a huge amount of water pouring off the mountain, but I it was otherwise, a clear run. On the way home, I stopped at Constantia Emporium to pick up some shopping. From there it was to drop the car back at the Sun Valley garage. I went Spaanschemat river road and there encountered a lot of water on the road with council workers trying to fix a burst water main. There was also a big troop of baboons which provided entertainment for passers by. When I got to the traffic light at the bottom of Ou Kaapse Weg, the lights were off while a whole class of trainee signal men & women were put through their paces, one by one.
It must come with a combination of fear and power!
It was while dropping the car, I found the 12 year old picture of the two of us.
The other exciting news of the day is we made contact with the owners of a large tract of land behind the blue cottage. They are apparently developers who are planning to build Gleneagles Rd. This is helpful for us, but we will wait for it to be proven before getting too excited. They have added us to their Whatsapp group, so we can follow their plans. The red line is roughly where the road could possibly go.
Roads are always noisy, dusty and difficult to build – add that 10 times over when you are building on a steep mountainside laden with rocks.
Today, I haven’t done too much work. On my return from the airport trip, my email wasn’t working and so I’ve had to log a fault. The IT department are on it, but have not had any success. Hence the early blog.
Isaiah 5:16
The Lord Almighty will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy by His righteousness.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
