Saturday
Today was the day…
It was a year ago today that I made the first payment to the builder. At that stage our plans hadn’t been passed, so we did a deal for him to do the first stage of the build. Clear the land and build the steps. On 3rd October last year, I posted this photo…
The builder’s steps had been put up…
Now those steps have been roughed up. The little wooden gate is falling apart. There has been so much traffic up and down the mountain side, it is not surprising that the stone steps they built a year ago have broken in places. Fixing them is one of the jobs that has to be done before Werner officially hands over the keys. Things are finishing up bit by bit. The kitchen is beginning to come together…
Looking from our bedroom doors towards Fish Hoek…
And from Fish Hoek side towards our bedroom…
The next ten days will really reveal how close we are to moving in. I need to start some serious packing!
I had a quiet day. I went to gym early and laboured through 40 lengths in the pool. It was before coffee and breakfast and it was hard work. Mid morning, I went to the Board shop for Mike to get some wood edged. I had a visit from Riana and a nice long call with Stacey. In the evening, we had dinner with Julian at home and now I’m ready for bed.

Psalm 7:17
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
