Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today turned out to be a solid day of work. If yesterday was a day of rest, today was the opposite. Late yesterday evening, we had a last minute booking for the loft for a guest arriving today by 12noon. Only issue was, the loft had not been cleaned since Gareth left yesterday! I was determined to get to the beach first, so we headed down at 7ish & had a wonderful swim. Just see this outdoor paradise.
The water was so warm, so clear, so still. It was like a swimming pool. Fish Hoek Beach at its best. It doesn’t get better than this!
Home for breakfast and then to the Loft to get stuck in. As soon as I walked in, I knew the guest could come as early as she liked. Gareth left it in excellent order. We started cleaning at 9am and finished at shortly after 10am. The lovely guest arrived & is safely settled. It’s the first time we have every unit occupied. We have 3 that we use, but only 2 are on Airbnb. The Little Lookout is the overflow and tomorrow is when George leaves. George is from the UK and was staying nearby. I stopped to speak to him on the street one day and when he heard we had rental units, he took down my number. He needed 2 nights when his booking ended & we were happy to help.
Finally by 12 noon, the linen was washed and on the line & I could have my second cup of coffee. By then I was getting a few work messages, so I jumped on line and dealt with those. I ended up working for almost 3 hours. It feels so good to be up to date and to start the week not overwhelmed.
We then walked to Harbour Bay for dinner. We are now home and watching Art We There Yet – a YouTube channel by a couple who make an epic road trip in an old renovated bus from Alaska to Argentina. Quite the adventurers. The production is a professional one.
That was a good weekend.

But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
