Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we saw a lot of fishing boats out in the bay. They were there when we woke up, so clearly it was a good morning for fishing. All the lights in the dark are little fishing boats. There were about 7 of them. The double dots are boats that were one behind each other. This was about 6.45am
A little later…at 7.25am, the boats were camouflaged against the early morning light.
They soon called it a night and started chugging back to Kalk Bay Harbour where they lined up one behind the other to get back to their mooring.
Every now and again (a handful of times) I hear a helicopter flying by really low. I’m never in time to get a photo, but today I did. It is an army helicopter & was below the level of our house, so flying super low.
I stayed home (mainly) today apart from taking a walk up the road (in light drizzle) to see the progress being made at a house that is getting a funicular. We will need one at least 3 times the height!
Today I was reminded of something that happened on this day 12 years ago. I was at Radio CCfm early in the morning and there had been some trouble with the lock of the top floor toilet. About 10 minutes before I was due in the studio, I stepped into the loo and stupidly locked the door. I really didn’t need to – I was the only person up there and we had been advised not to because it was a bit sticky. Once locked, I couldn’t unlock it. There I was trapped in the 3rd floor toilet. I ended up launching myself up through this little window and going head first down the other side, scrambling not to fall and being so grateful that the office door beyond was unlocked.
I made it to the studio in time!
And finally today, I finished another strip. Then there were 4. Still some to go.
Stacey will wave her magic hand over it to crochet them together.
Psalm 119:52
I remember, Lord, your ancient laws, and I find comfort in them.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
