An early morning start definitely works for me. Yesterday evening I decided that I would hit the gym early, so that’s where I was some time before 7am.
I was home by 8am, showered and dressed and then Mike and I were sitting at the Stag in time for 8-30am.
Afterwards, we did the craft market/church bazaar rounds. First it was to Paul Greyling where the 100th anniversary of Fish Hoek becoming a town is being celebrated with a 10 day craft fair. It is so well organised and really has a lot of lovely things to look at and buy. It’s great for early Christmas shopping. It only ends a week tomorrow and is open all day every day from about 9am to 5pm, so worth visiting.
Then we headed for the Anglican church where we knew their monthly church fete was happening. We passed the Presbyterian Church and saw they too were having a market, so we stopped and headed on it. Typical church fete where everything is very inexpensive. Julian headed for the book table and found a number of books. We then went to the Anglican church and Mike bought a punch. Julian bought more books. We took Julian home and he got on with his day. Mike and I returned home and I have done a load of washing, 4 hours work and spent just over an hour on the phone to Stacey. Yip, that early morning start has made me productive today.
Julian will arrive in about 15 minutes and then the plan is to walk to Kalk Bay for pizza.
This is Saturday – a beautiful spring day with more warm weather forecast for tomorrow before a cold front changes things on Monday.
#904 of my 1000 thanks is for a bit of light reading I picked up at one of the markets – Jan Karon’s Shepherd’s Abiding.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.
These are the days.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,

Gym
I cycled 30km while listening to Andy Stanley – deep stuff – Aftermath. Look it up!
And to think I did this without coffee – it did at times feel like I was cycling through treacle!
