Tuesday
Dear Elsie
Tuesdays are always a little less chaotic than Mondays. Although I worked the whole day, I also fitted in a couple of walks, getting my 10000 steps for the day. Yesterday, I had to settle for 8000.
Today was the day a whale washed up at Longbeach in Simon’s Town. Nigel Riley was there to get the story & take some photos…
It’s not often you get to see these giants of deep up close. There have been so many whales in the bay, it is not really surprising that every now and then one will die in our waters. Sad that it’s so young. I remember a Brydes Whale washing up at Long Beach, Kommetjie and being loaded onto an enormous truck to be taken for disposal. Weighing something like 14 tonnes, the going was slow. We got caught behind the convoy of cars on Ou Kaapse Weg. On arriving at the other side we soon found out what the delay was…(this was August 2020)
Always very sad to see.
A short while ago, three navy frigates cruised across False Bay, moving in formation, apparently from Brazil, India and South Africa.
The wind has continued but not quite at the velocity of yesterday. We are looking forward to calmer days ahead. Who knows, perhaps tomorrow, we’ll get a swim in.
Psalm 85:8
I will listen to what God the Lord says; He promises peace to His people
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
