Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we went to the beach and swam in beautiful warm water. Someone said it was 19.5 and that last week it was a balmy 22. There was quite a bit of swell but it was lovely swimming. The shark net was being put out, so there were lots of people enjoying the morning.
Home for breakfast. Ruth was here and Courage helped her move swiftly through the Little Lookout, the Seaview Apartment and Julian’s top floor, so that David could move down, Emir, the guest could move to the Seaview & Julian could arrive this afternoon. Three apartments clean, three loads of washing, all done.
I worked, had a meeting and did some puzzle.
It should be finished by tomorrow.
Courage has been working hard out the back – the gabion basket boundary wall has grown.
We have had a sad parting of ways with Courage’s ‘handlanger’ who, it was discovered, had been stealing. Courage was very disappointed as he had trusted him and treated him as a brother. We are not going to replace him just yet, so Courage works on his own but Mike has been working to find ways to make the work more efficient. There will come a time when we may need to hire a team of guys for a short period, but that’s not needed just yet.
I was very happy to see Timeout has just released results of a survey that have Cape Town as the 2nd top city of the world for 2024.
What a privilege that I get to live in Cape Town. When I arrived here 41 years ago, I clearly remember being in awe that this was the city God chose for me.
Psalm 20:4
May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
