Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today was one of the rainiest days in Cape Town. It began with a strong black south-easter that blew in a serious cold front. Just before the rain began, I noticed the NSRI Rescue Boat 10 out in the bay. It seemed to be circling and I wondered what was happening, but no one on the WhatsApp groups seemed to know. Eventually, it circled back to a yellow buoy that was bobbing erratically up and down. They spent some time bouncing around that, until I noticed they had got it onboard. It was then that they headed off to Simon’s Town. There was no emergency. They were out to recover the buoy.
This morning I did some shopping, but after the rain set in, I pretty much rotated between my rocking chair and my bed!
Yesterday’s train trip ended well. After the initial spluttering and chugging over Sir Lowry’s Pass, we gained some momentum and apart from a very short stop just outside Somerset West, it was a smooth journey back to the Waterfront station. This was the view of the N1 from the train line.
We made good time and were home shortly after 6pm.
This morning, this greeted us…
It looks beautiful…and there is the promise of more to come….
And on the topic of nature, when Julian and I were scrambling around the mountain the other day, we encountered a tortoise buried in its nest.
So, on a rainy, stormy evening like tonight, if you don’t have a fireplace & you want some ambiance, this is how it’s done…
Lol. All the ambiance, but no heat…& now no TV to watch!
Isaiah 2:22
Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
