Saturday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we had a lovely long chat with you. You are really doing well and showed me all your lego with all the things you have made as well as the babies and the cats who sit on the top of the wall with the view! You explained what they see. You are such a joy!
Meanwhile, back at home, the cats have had a good day settling in. They did well in Mike’s study overnight. This morning, we felt it would be okay for them to come out of the study, so we blocked the gap under the scullery cupboard and let them loose. They have settled in really well. This is Raiku hiding under the dining room table, well covered by the table cloth. In fact, we think it is possible that he was hiding here all of yesterday afternoon when we couldn’t find him!
Claw’d chilling on the carpet in front of my rocking chair.
The cats on their stand on full alert – this was earlier today.
Later in the day, I could get closer and they were much more chilled.
Raiku let Julian approach and even stroke him.
Very encouraging.
This morning, we left them wandering about and went out with Julian to buy books at a Charity shop in Claremont. I bought a 3-picture frame for my photos with Jonathan the Tortoise. That cost all of R30.
I also bought two bowls. One is about 5cm and the other about 11cm. They are ideal for crunchies, rusks, biltong and a whole lot of other things. Love them, as they cost a collective total of R18!
The final thing about today is as I was thinking of climbing into bed for an afternoon nap, Mike said he was going for a run. So off we went. I shuffled to Glencairn lookout and back – a distance of 4km. Very slow, but we did it.
Now Mike and Julian have gone to buy supper. David is giving a guitar lesson and when that is done at 7pm, he’ll come up and join us for dinner. It’s been a very enjoyable Saturday.
Psalm 135:5
I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
