Saturday
Today was the day….
We began early (7am) by going for a pre-breakfast walk. This time we followed the cow trails down to a tar road.
It also meant crossing a river…
Mike dressed in his running kit. When we got to the road, there was a very long uphill which we walked up before Mike broke into a run. I walked enjoying new scenery…
I tried to take a selfie, but my arm wasn’t long enough to get me in the frame. It is pretty spectacular…
I met up with Mike and we walked home past the ponies. So cute to see the foal.
But the best fun was had this afternoon when David and I went down to the Waterpark to try out the obstacle course. We videoed each other and it was hilarious. I made it round without falling off in the first instance but it took me a very slow, laborious 5 minutes. David was much quicker (under 3 minutes) but wiped out 3 times.
It’s not as easy as it looks. Years ago we used to watch Wipeout with these massive floating obstacle courses and I always wondered to myself how I would do. It is hard. The inflatables move all the time, they are often wet and slippery and it’s just so difficult to keep your balance. And, it’s exhausting! We had a blast and the video footage is priceless! I’d love to try get the video onto my computer but not sure if I will be able to. Here is David jumping off the last obstacle.
We were in hysterics watching the videos afterwards.
Mike made spaghetti bolognaise for dinner and David showed us some of the highlights of his trip through South East Asia. I also got in a video call with Stacey. Altogether it was a great day.
Isaiah 43:11
I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no Saviour.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
