Wednesday
I did not sleep well last night. I went to bed late and then woke up in the small hours of the morning and tossed and turned until the alarm went off. With protests expected close to and possibly on the N2, we elected to leave for the airport really early to try to avoid them. We were successful but it meant we arrived at the airport 3 hours before our flight. We had a leisurely mega cappuccino at the Mugg and Bean, followed by breakfast and before we knew it, it was time to board.
We had an uneventful flight and arrived at Julian’s house just after 12. Jess had picked us up. Jess and Gerrie have 4 cats. This is very affectionate Gabriel.
If we had more time here, I would try to get a photo of all four of them together, but it would literally be herding cats! I did learn a group of cats is a clowder, a glaring or even a nuisance! A litter of kittens can also be a kindle. Gabriel is very affectionate and looks for the nearest lap. He also has a bad habit of straying if not locked in at night. Daytime, he’s fine but at night, be sure to lock him up otherwise he’s off. Ah the personality of cats – they are priceless.
Very tired after lack of sleep, we walked to the local coffee shop and had cappuccino number two which was the first step to recovery. Beautiful tree-lined Norwood, Johannesburg.
The second step to recovery happened after we got home. I slept for almost an hour. What a pleasure! Feeling very revived. This evening we will have dinner at home, sleep in Jo’burg and at the crack of dawn we will head south. We are truly on holiday. I haven’t checked work email today. 🙂
Hopefully, I’ll get be able to publish something while away. If I can’t, I’ll put all the days up on our return.
Soon Julian and Gerrie will be calling us to go for a very fast walk. I’m in.
Note: Today would have been Hansie Cronje’s 50th birthday. He will always be remembered.
Ecclesiastes 2:13
I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness.
These are the days.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
