Thursday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day that dawned beautiful and relatively calm…
but we didn’t go to the beach, because yesterday Grandpa pulled a little tendon in his knee. He was moving a bed & didn’t know he had hurt it until he was coming up the stairs. Today he rested it and it is feeling better, so if the wind isn’t too bad tomorrow, we’ll go slowly down and have our swim.
I worked for most of the day and then later this afternoon I went out to do some Christmas shopping.
Today I learned something about some of the house plants, including the two delicious monsters and the pink anthurium we have in the lounge. They monstera are growing and needing to be planted into bigger pots. I’ve discovered they are toxic to cats and if the cats show an interest in them and start licking them or (stupidly) take a bite out of one of their leaves or stems, they will feel sick – and they may throw up or just get a very irritated gut. It’s not deadly, but it will make them feel blugh. So now all three are on the trunk. The one on the right David bought me for my birthday. It’s a sacrificial gift when you have crippling fatigue and go out to a nursery to buy a gift. 
Meanwhile, they have bath-time on their minds. Raiku with his paws around Claw’d’s neck and both washing the other. 2 cats a cleaning…
Long weekend, although I’ll probably do some work tomorrow.
Isaiah 45:24
They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
