Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we saw one set of guests leave and the next arrive. The first ones left early so by just after 8am we were downstairs pulling the Seaview Apartment back into shape. It is good that we sometimes do the clean because it gets us in there to see how things are. The place wasn’t too bad. Ruth had given it a good clean on Wednesday, so under the bed and behind the headboard had already been done. Courage had cleaned the windows, the balcony and the shower drain as well, so we just had to do the basics. By 1pm when the new guests rolled in everything was ready for them.
I was amazed I could get up and walk after yesterday’s marathon hike. My watch app advised me that my exercise yesterday was extreme and could lead to injury and I needed until Tuesday lunchtime to recover! My feet were quite sore, but I still took a walk to Fish Hoek beach and back. On my return, there was a little mole snake in the road. It looked injured, so I carefully used a stick to get it to the grass verge. Emphasis on little. I wouldn’t do try moving anything bigger!
The rest of the day was spent resting.
I quite marvelled that I managed yesterday’s climb. It was 9th August 2022 that we last walked to the reservoirs. On that day, Mike was eager to go further, to try for Table Mountain, but my feet were so sore, I just couldn’t manage it. I remember sitting next to one of the dams and putting my feet in the water to relieve the pain. To think over the last 2 years, I have got so much fitter that I was able to climb Table Mountain is really amazing. I haven’t been doing any specific training. All I’ve been doing is trying to walk 10000 steps a day. We are eager to try a different route, but for now, it’s time to rest my legs and go back to gentle walking around the ‘hood!
I have a super busy week ahead.
Today was the start of Ephesians.
Ephesians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Many blessings to come.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
