Sunday
Dear Elsie
Yay! Today was Christmas Day. You, Elsie went to Christmas with Oupa. We missed having you and the family, but we hope that we will all be together next year.
For us I got up early and made some breakfast plates.
We had the lounge doors open and a young Cape long-tail sugar bird came in and got fully stuck.
After I took this photo, it flew crazily around the lounge and it kept flying up and hitting its head on the ceiling! Eventually, it landed on the floor and Mike threw a sheet over it. He gathered it up in the sheet and put it outside. There are so many of these birds at the moment. Dozens of them. I filled the bird bottle up this morning – by 5pm it was empty. I’m leaving it empty til tomorrow morning.
We exchanged gifts and then midmorning enjoyed a walk at Kommetjie Lighthouse.
We cooked a really lovely Christmas meal and enjoyed every moment of it.
This evening we went for a walk and now we are watching Trevor Noah. In half an hour Julian heads to the airport to pick up Gerrie and Jess who are coming for a couple of weeks.
A lovely Christmas Day.
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran, xx 🙂
