Wednesday
Today was the day…
We heard from David who did his first Cycle in South Korea. He said everything went fine and he got three stamps in his bike passport. Tomorrow, he cycles away from his Airbnb and onward to other digs, planning his stops to accommodate his teaching.
Today he rode along the river…I think it was this one in the middle.
Who knows where he’s off to tomorrow. He said he’d sent updates. Everything sounds really organised and most importantly, safe.
Meanwhile, this crazy thing happened in Cape Town the other day. A guy fell while climbing Table Mountain (the route up below the Cable Car). He was quite badly injured. A rescue team got to him and identified a helicopter wasn’t going to be able to get him off the mountain. The rescue team did what they had practiced but rarely implemented. They had the cable car stop overhead and after securing him, they winched him up.
Poor guy – for me that would have been terrifying!
Last evening the new guests arrived. It was a last minute booking so they didn’t read the write up too closely and didn’t know there were 64 steps. The lady is 8 months pregnant! Clearly undeterred by the stairs they’ve asked to stay on until next Wednesday.
The electrics of the cottage have be redone. However, the cottage has been left dusty and a bit disheveled. Ruth will come to clean it on Monday. Courage meantime, has some painting to do inside. There is a leak under the upstairs shower which needs to be fixed.
News from the Fish Hoek flat, moving day is 15th September, so the new tenant who I will soon reveal will be able to move in as soon as it’s cleaned.
Today we had a couple come visit. They plan on building down the road and they came to find out about building here and a few other things. It was a lovely tea we enjoyed together. No doubt our paths will cross again.
Proverbs 2:6
For the Lord give wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
