Wednesday
Today was the day…
We went across to the old house to sort through more stuff. I shredded a load of old bank statements and other personal documents. We don’t have a TV at the new house so we got to watch some of the election coverage while we were there.
We are slowly making our way through it all. Mike is a master of conquering chaos. I just get overwhelmed so me sitting in a corner shredding is just perfect!
I also spent a number of hours at home working and got the company’s first placement for November.
Meanwhile, the wind keeps pumping…gusting up to 63km hour. It’s due to drop tomorrow, which will be a beautiful calm day before it blows a bit more on Friday afternoon. The saying goes that the prevailing south-easterly wind in Cape Town is vital for rain up country. The Jo’burg family can tell us when it starts raining! Overnight, it blew in a thick mist. This was “sunrise”
Today at the house, David’s bathroom got grout and so did our scullery backsplash. The endless little jobs are being done one by one.
It’s the end of Wednesday for us and there is no election result yet. Americans have woken up to hear the news that the race is close. There should be an outcome in the next several hours. Bookmakers, at this point, give Biden a 78% chance of success. Whatever the outcome, America will remain divided, that’s for sure!
Riana came for tea this afternoon – it was great to see her. And, this is currently what’s in the oven. My first roast chicken in the new oven.
Today, Anne had Chemo #3.

Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
