Sunday
Today was the day…
That was beautiful and calm to start but this evening there is already quite a wind that has blown up and a storm is expected to sweep over the Cape dumping quite a bit more rain. We’ve already had a sizable amount this month which is great for the dams and assures us of a drought-free summer in the months ahead.
Hoping all will be well with the new roof at Echo. Meanwhile at our house there’s a loose something that knocks when the wind blows. I’ve already heard it already. We need to get Courage up to take a look when the weather is fair again.
We walked from Clovelly to Kalk Bay and back. Picturesque Kalk Bay…
Beautiful Fish Hoek…
Kalk Bay was buzzing. The cafes were full, people sitting enjoying breakfast and coffee; there were loads of runners, cyclists and walkers, most with masks. Social distancing was attempted but not always successful. Shops open, people browsing – a degree of normalcy seemed apparent. But there were also a number of shops that have closed. They didn’t survive the hard lockdown.

Romans 15:5
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going….even behind the mask.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
