Sunday
Today was the day…
We’ve been 2 years at the new house. Two years climbing 85 steps to our front door (Julian has 100). We enjoyed the day. We had a slow start, going to the beach after 8am once I’d seen the shark exclusion net go out. The water was warm and the beach crowded.
After yesterday’s wind, it wasn’t super clear and there was a lot of seaweed that had been ripped up from the buoyant ocean of the last couple of days. There’s not too much wind expected in the few days ahead so I think the sea will be clearer. Maybe I’ll get some work done tonight, so we can go tomorrow.
On our way home, I mentioned to Mike a crazy thing. One month today, we are due to be in Venice to embark on the ship. Wow, that is suddenly very close. Then it occurred to me that two months today, we disembark in Cape Town. Two months. It’s going to fly by. We both agreed, we need to try to embrace each and every moment we are away, from the tedium of the plane trip, to any trains we need to catch, to the rain of Varenna and all the fun bits in between. We have lots to do before we leave – in 22 days time! Eek!
This afternoon, we took ourselves off to Tokai forecast and had a walk around. It was hot. I was overdressed for the occasion, but at least there is a lot of shade.
From there we went to Constantia Emporium and sat at the Sushi bar eating Sushi! That was cool. We did some shopping, came home, watched a Morse. Then I walked to the end of the street and back.
A lovely day.
2 Corinthians 9:7
God loves a cheerful giver.
Go on then.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
