Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day your Mom sent me a few photos of you playing with Simone. I loved seeing the photos of the two of you on the slide and playing in the sandpit. I’m so glad she is in your class.
I only did a few hours of work today. It was hot & sunny, so we went to the beach. The water was super warm – at least 20C. I had a lovely swim. There were loads of people enjoying the early morning…
One of the first things I encountered as I got further into the water was a little penguin! It was swimming and surfing and enjoying itself. It came within centimeters of the swimmers, peering curiously at us and wholly unafraid. I felt he must have come from the Seaforth colony where there are lots of people. He felt right at home.
The day got hotter and hotter, so it was good to stay inside.
Riana and Ingrid came to visit and that was a lovely morning. After they left, I did a bit of work before going for a facial with Lorraine. That is such a treat for me. Post facial pic…I’m getting a bit of a tan with all the visits to the beach…hair is after swim hair!
A little more work this afternoon and then to our surprise David came down early just to have a visit. He has found the biltong I’ve been buying him. He’s had it in the morning and it has helped reduce his afternoon crash.
I went shopping to buy eggs and bacon. Tomorrow, we hope to swim again and when we get home, we’ll have a cook-up.
I am really looking forward to a shower, but there is no water – a burst water main somewhere. Hopefully, it won’t take too long to repair. It was off this morning and then came on again for most of the day before going off later this afternoon. We’ve delivered water to the guests.
Psalm 17:6
I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
