Tuesday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day that was just a normal working day. I had a few calls and lots of computer work to do which I got through in just under 8 hours.
Early this morning, I finished the puzzle, which gave me great pleasure!
I have another one ready, which I may start this evening. And it will be easier to do because Mike bought me a perfectly sized foldable camping table which gives me more space.
Tomorrow, we have a changeover of guests. The new ones are coming for a week, so next busy Airbnb day will be a week tomorrow. The guests have been nice though.
The wind has been howling. It’s got stronger as the day has progressed and we are in for a blustery Wednesday as well. I envisage swimming on Thursday. The pounding south-easter rips into fabric so the cushions on our balcony chairs are now needing to be recovered. The neighbours across the road have two hot water cylinders on their roof. A few months ago, a company came and wrapped them firmly in thermal blankets. The outer layer of one of them started to unravel and was flapping noisily. A week or so ago, I contacted the neighbour to tell them, but they said it just has to stay that way because the owner needs surgery and can’t go up a ladder to fix it. One of these days the outer layer is going to be completely ripped off and will fly away to Fish Hoek. The under layer is beginning to unravel & the wrapping on the other hot water cylinder is also showing signs of fraying. The wind at the Cape sure can be destructive.
We need the wind to clear the air and blow the rain up country. Also, if we didn’t have the summer breeze, it would be a whole lot hotter.
Matthew 7:24-25
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
It’s not about now. We are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
