Tuesday
Today was the day…
That started off windy but soon clouded over. A black south-easter blew dark clouds over the bay and it looked very foreboding. Today, I saw a whole lot of photos posted on Facebook of old Fish Hoek. They were so interesting to see. This is one of when Hillside and Highway are just visible on Fish Hoek Mountain, but there is no sign of Echo Rd.
I’m not sure of the year of the photo above. In the photo below, Echo Rd is a mere track and our original little cottage is visible sitting quietly and uncrowded on the mountainside.
It probably was the 1960s/70s as there were more houses being built.
We didn’t go to the beach today, but this afternoon, I took a walk down to Fish Hoek to buy chocolate for Mike. As I passed Sunnycove Station, I noticed this new sign…
They have really enhanced the station garden both inside and out.
From the cat walk, it was overcast and dark enough to trigger the street lights. They came on at 4pm.
No rain came and we are not expecting any tomorrow either. It seems Thursday is the rainy day.
Mike and David are watching chess! Yup! There’s some competition on and I can hear exclamations so something is happening. I’m tucked up in bed drinking rooibos tea.
This week has been significant. With our end of year month long cruise still on track, we’ve been looking at other parts of the trip and yesterday we took the plunge and booked our flights! I’ve also booked the accommodation on Lake Como, so just need to find a place for a couple of nights in Milan. And right now, I’m researching walks around the town we will be staying in Lake Como. We will be there, DV, for 5 nights, possibly 6, so need to walk on all the good weather days.
The chess is over.
Psalm 139:1-2
You have searched me, Lord, and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar.
I want to try and learn this Psalm.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
