Thursday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we weighed Raiku again and found he had gained 300g in a month. He’s now 6kg! He’s becoming a fat cat. This is him a year ago. April 2024. Sleek and fit.
Here he is today…
I think it is winter weight. He has been spending much more time inside instead of trawling the neighbourhood looking for entertainment, other cats to see, mice to find and critters to torment. Now he’s hanging around inside, with periodic wails for extra snacks. He’s eating more and exercising less….like me! I’ll weigh him again when summer comes.
Meantime, Mike woke up this morning and declared a long run was a good idea, so off he went. I was not tempted. We went to bed with it pouring with rain and woke up with more water coming down from the sky. Mike was welcome to it. An hour later, David and I went out on the balcony to watch the dolphins that were passing by. David caught sight of Mike on the road below.
He came back wet but very satisfied and not at all tired. In fact, he did another little walk this evening. We went to the end of the road and I discovered a fluffy ginger lives down the road. Maybe Raiku visits him on dry days.
The sky is not so cloudy and the hope of clearer weather is upon us.
Today Julian arrived & dinner is about to be enjoyed.
Paul’s powerful words from Acts
Acts 17:24-25
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything. Rather, He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
and verse 28 “For in Him we live and move and have our being”
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
