Sunday
Today was the day…
after it rained heavily overnight. Last night, we went to finally see the Downton Abbey move – A New Era. Definitely worth it – I really enjoyed it. We’ve been talking about going to see if for ages and finally hit the perfect time last night. We got in late and went to bed around 11pm. I woke a couple of times to the sound of heavy downpours. Sometimes it was from the north and other times, the wind swung round and was from the south. Both useful for us because the windows from different sides of the house got a good dousing. We ended up only waking up at 8:30am. What a treat that was. This morning, one of the neighbourhood watch people said there had been a whopping 38mm rain overnight. It took our tanks from 1/3 full to full.
Sometimes I see something on the sea from the house and then (usefully) someone has posted about it on Facebook. That happened today when we saw the new navy vessel doing the rounds on the bay and Gavin Finlayson conveniently posted this photo…
New navy vessel Sekhukhune.
Today I only got up at lunchtime. For the rest of the morning, I lazed about, had an hour and a bit long call with Stacey and chilled in my rocking chair. At lunchtime, I had a shower, washed my hair and then spent the afternoon watching a couple of YT videos.
Then mid afternoon we went to Kalk Bay and took a walk up Boyes Drive from Clairvaux Rd to the Shark Spotter lookout. It was just to stretch our legs and enjoy the freshly washed outdoors.
Good view of Kalk Bay with our house just in sight…
Mike and Julian walking…
On the way, we passed this massive piece of land, with very expensive access already in place. It’s more than 4000 square metres and on the market for close to R30million. 106 Boyes Drive.
It was a good 5km easy walk. It’s been a lovely weekend.
Psalm 103:17-18
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children’s children — with those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
