Echo Steps

Tuesday

Today was the day…

We woke early and had a morning walk to the beach. We walked down Echo Steps, across Kommetjie Rd. along the cat walk, onto the beach, past the fishermen…

And almost to the end of the beach…

We retraced our steps – first up the Sunny Cove bridge…

Then up Echo Steps…

And finally…

120 steps on Echo steps. When we got home, we climbed our 83 from the kerb!

Exercise done! We had breakfast with Julian and David on our balcony. It was a beautiful sunny morning.

At noon, I took Julian to the airport and on the way home stopped by the implant surgeon for him to discuss the next stage of the implant. I think he may make me wait until January.

I came home via Boyes Drive where there had been a terrible accident at the bottom by the Main Rd. A youngster had been knocked off his bike and hadn’t survived. They had to wait for forensics to come and deal with the body, but in the meantime, it was left on the road, covered by a sheet. People were sitting on the kerb. Everyone was so sombre. It was a terrible sight. So sobering. Nothing worse. I pray for his mother tonight.

I did some more work this afternoon and then we had a quiet evening. Election day in the US and we don’t have a TV right now to watch.  I’m sure we’ll see the news in the morning. The beautiful day has given way to a windy night.

Ephesians 6:10

Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

The best is yet to come.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,
