Thursday
Today was the day…
I woke up at a ridiculously early hour – twas around 3am, maybe earlier. By 4am, we were on our way down the stairs and on our way to the airport. We parked in the shaded parking and by 4:50am, we were going through security. After that, Mike got in a very long coffee queue. By the time he returned, boarding was about to commence. The flight was quick. After leaving at about 5:50am, with a tail wind we touched down at just after 7:30am.
Julian and David arrived to pick us up. Great to see my son again!
It was great to see Jess and Gerrie again as well. The have 4 cats, including Athena…
After breakfast, we got on the road. We left about 10am and arrived in Cathkin in the Drakensberg at just after 4pm. It was hot – about 33C. We arrived in time for loadshedding! With my cell phone battery flat and it being boiling, there was only one thing to do – head for the dam! I don’t even know what the dam is called but the water was about 17C. It is down a steep hill with the walk back harder than walking home from Fish Hoek beach! The sun soon began to set. David took this photo…
And I took this one…
It’s now pitch black. The mozzies are biting and the chicken is braaiing.
We will all sleep well tonight!
Psalm 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
