Wednesday
Today was the day…
We went swimming! It was a very balmy winter’s day – another lull before the rain. The water was amazingly warm for this time of the year – 15C they said. I swam for just over 30 minutes, got in a good bit of exercise and walked home without Mike. He took off to the shops after our swim, as he had run out of muesli and I found some money in my rucksack. He had no face mask, so he stopped by Gattis and bought one. One day in the future, some reader will think, ‘why did he need a mask?’ I am hoping it is the dying days of Covid 19 where masks are mandatory for indoors. Our SA Covid numbers are low – I am so looking forward to the day when masks are a scourge of the past.
I only worked for just over 6 hours as I got in from the swim after 9am and I started work a little later than that.
This week Mike finished the doors for the courtyard to the Seaview Apartment. Julian arrived today so I can now put up the photos.
Before…
And with doors…
Mike’s done a great job! And so did Courage.
Behind the house is also coming along…this will be yet another little patio.
I have been super busy at work. Whew! What a blessing this month has been. But it’s swings and roundabouts because the Airbnb business has been extremely quiet.
We had a lovely dinner out this evening, catching up with Julian after his holiday to the UK.
We are currently loadshedding, so most of Fish Hoek is in darkness.
It’s been a good day. I’m grateful.
Psalm 9:9
The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
