Tuesday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day the cats woke up around 5.45am and they were meowing loudly. Clearly they were hungry. I got up, let them out the study and fed them. It wasn’t only the cats making a noise. The day began with the tweeting of rising birds and when I opened my bedroom door, my mind went back about 53 years to when I was a tiny tot & we went to visit the Vumba in Zimbabwe. The first morning of our holiday there was the fresh smell of newly fallen rain and the chirping of the birds and the same sounds and smells greeted me today. The combination always makes me think of the Vumba.
The cats went out but soon returned and then the focus of their attention was what was going on outside. They like to look. They watch the birds flitting across the sky.
After I took this photo, I went outside to take one from the balcony. They completely ignored me and fixed their gaze on something far more interesting. My handsome pair.
Then later, it was off to my bedroom door to view the goings on from there.
They see things I can’t see and they hear things I miss. So cute. With the weather drizzly, they’ve spent most of the time indoors.
David, meanwhile, decided to go and ‘do some exercise’. Since his visit to the cardiologist where he learned his heart is in fine order, it has calmed his concern about whether he is able to get his heart rate up without causing any damage. He drove to Kommetjie and walked/jogged about 900m. He got his heart rate up to about 155. When he came home, his legs were super tired but that’s not surprising because he also had the stairs to climb. At least now he can fully rest for another couple of weeks before trying again.
I’ve worked for close to 7 hours which is a nice day.
Psalm 150:1
Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
