Thursday
Dear Elsie
No swimming for me today, but I saw you had a lot of fun at your swimming lesson. Here the sun was shining, the sky was blue and it was a perfect day for a dip in the ocean but I had other important things to do. Things that you, my darling will not need to worry about for decades.
I went for a mammogram. I get a little more nervous about these tests the older I get. The big pink machine.
After the mammogram I went for a bone density test which I last had 8 years ago. I went with Riana who always has a mammogram as well as an ultrasound. We were both fine which was great news! While I was having the bone density test I asked if they diagnosed a lot of breast cancers and the technician said there were so many. It was not lost on me that today was a great result and had it been different it would have completely changed the complexion of the year. Riana and I went to the Lime restaurant in Bergvliet to celebrate.
On my way home I stopped at Tammy’s for a hair cut. I’ve known Tammy since David was in single digits. On and off she’s cut my hair for about 25 years. She started off in Sun Valley in her parent’s home cutting hair in their 3rd bedroom. When she married she moved to Milkwood Park and has been there for years. In November, she moved to her husband’s childhood home which is one of the lovely houses on the mountainside of Boyes Drive. She has the most amazing view overlooking Muizenberg Primary, the rest of Muizenberg and a sweeping view of the curve of False Bay extending from Muizenberg towards the Strand. It was lovely to see.
I spent the afternoon at work and have just about caught up with everything.
The weekend beckons.
Psalm 33:1
The word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
