New Guests & New Puzzle

Posted on December 28, 2023 by Helga

Thursday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we went to the beach for a little swim. It was windy so we didn’t stay long. The beach was not as crowded as yesterday. Yesterday, all the holiday makes descended on the beach early.

Meanwhile, 10 years ago, we had spent Christmas in the Drakensberg. I posted this to Facebook.

Ten years ago!

Today we put the finishing touches to the Seaview Apartment and welcomed the next guests. And I got to start one of Stacey’s puzzles.

It’s a Venice Market. I’m really enjoying doing this one. It’s great to have the time to do this. Back to work on Tuesday.

The cats have been doing battle this evening. One of the entertaining and on going confusing manoevres they both practice regularly is kicking each other in the head! It means pinning the other down and using their hind legs to pound the other’s head. This continues until eventually the recipient is able to get out of the grasp. Claw’d trying to get the a good grip.

They are so entertaining. Raiku is by far the most work. Yesterday he got a bird and then later was violently ill, so apart from finding an abundance of feathers in the study,  I had another mess to clean up. He also is the 3.30am meowing culprit. Initially we shut them in the study for the  night, but now we allow them to sleep on my rocking chair. At 3.30am, Raiku jumps off the rocking chair and sits in the lounge at which point he begins to meow piteously and sufficiently to drag me out of my slumber. Ignoring him, I get up, pick up a very dozy Claw’d who is still on the rocking chair and march down the passage to the study. Raiku runs enthusiastically to the study, jumps up on the bed and the two of them happily settle down again. Maybe, I need to shut them in there for the night again to break the 3.30am wake up call.

Back to Isaiah. The Gospel in the OT.

Isaiah 53:6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Oupa

Posted on December 27, 2023 by Helga

Wednesday

Dear Elsie,

Today was the day Oupa quietly slipped away from this life and entered eternity. He’s no longer in pain. No suffering. His broken body has been replaced with a new one and he is at peace – in heaven – with Jesus and all those who have gone before. He died during the early hours of the morning while you were still asleep. This is a hard time for your parents who have been exemplary in their treatment of your Oupa. It’s been a very tough journey. It was only 2 months ago today that we sat with him at Grandparent’s Day. We will miss him.

Our thoughts have very much been in Swellendam today. We are so grateful that Oupa made it through Christmas and passed away on a working day so everything was able to be sorted. It was also fortuitous that he was able to be collected before you woke up Elsie.  God was gracious in His timing. Also we are grateful that he didn’t linger & that he was at peace before he died. He knew where he was going. This gives us peace as well.

When I end each day’s blog with ‘we are only passing through’ it is for this eventuality. Ron has passed. He’s gone to our eternal home – the one that we wait for. We live but a moment in this world compared to all eternity that lies ahead. We live in a broken world, but when we leave this earthly body and are taken up to heaven, it’s a new life – an eternal life – one that we cannot imagine. One day  you may read these words and the writer of them will be in that place – eternal life – above the sun – where for us everything is new. While those left behind mourn Oupa’s passing, he does not. He is rejoicing. He is complete. He is healed and whole and his true life if just beginning. Here on earth, we cling to what we know. That’s why it’s so hard to let go – to embrace death – to not get sad when someone passes away. This is all we know. But I believe what we are waiting for is beyond what we can imagine. The best is yet to come.

I love you my family. We are praying for you.

Psalm 116:15
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Windy Boxing Day

Posted on December 26, 2023 by Helga

Tuesday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day the wind blew hard and strong and long. All day long it churned up the waves and white horses galloped towards the beach.

The wind is expected to abate overnight. We had a very restful day. I got dressed to go for a drive with Julian in the afternoon. We drove down to Simon’s Town and around past Cape Point, back over Red Hill. Evidence of the fire very clear. Down by Miller’s Point, it jumped the road and threatened the restaurant and camp site. No damage appeared to have been done and we didn’t see any evidence of houses burnt. The fire services are still around keeping an eye on hot spots. We did some shopping on the way home.

I clicked somewhere on my cell phone today and found myself with a variety of unexpected photo options, including a crash helmet…

and my personal favourite…Helga the cat.

Turns out I was on Instagram. There were other options.

Thinking of Anne today as she celebrates her birthday. Hope you have had a fab day today Annie.

And that’s the wrap for a quiet Boxing Day 2023.

Isaiah 53:5
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

God bless you.

Christmas 2023

Posted on December 25, 2023 by Helga

Monday 

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we celebrated Christmas day in Fish Hoek. We had Julian, David, Jess, Gerry, little Lizzie,  Minette, Jen, Grandpa and I. We missed you so much but know there will be many Christmas days to come. Oupa is with you and he is gravely ill. His life hangs by a thread. It cannot be long now and this makes it a very difficult Christmas for your family. We are praying for you and thinking of you all the time. It was good to speak to you and see some of the gifts you received.

For us the day started gently – coffee & then mince pies. David came up. Julian came down. Later just after midday the rest of the family arrived, presents were exchanged.

Then we had an expansive Christmas lunch. No chance of being outside. The wind was howling. No wonder Johannesburg is having rain.

After lunch, smoke was seen over the mountain so the fire services jumped into action and a helicopter water bombed it out. That was effective and it was soon out. The helicopter picked up water from off Fish Hoek so that was interesting to watch. Then, the Christmas puzzle got completed. Jess got to put in the last piece.

We had a late afternoon rest.  Then Julian and Gerrie went for a walk. David came up again and we are about to watch some TV.

Grateful for the gift of Christmas.

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Christmas Eve 2023

Posted on December 24, 2023 by Helga

Sunday

Dear Elsie,

Today was the day we prepared for Christmas. So did you. Oupa was chipper this morning and so you got to decorate a Christmas tree in his bedroom. You did a fabulous job and I’m sure it has made him very happy.

We are praying for you all.

Meanwhile, back in Cape Town, we have enjoyed getting to know Lizzie. Here she is with Grandpa.

And on the rocking chair with me…

On the balcony. 10 months of cuteness…

Such a joy.

We had a light dinner this evening & now the family have left to go for walks and to see the Christmas lights.

Meantime, the cats were out and it was dark. I went to lure them in with snacks. We got Raiku in but Claw’d led me a merry dance. Eventually, I had to go find him and drag him back inside. While he was delinquent this evening, it was Raiku who was a disgrace earlier in the day. He caught and devoured an entire mouse that upset his tummy and he promptly came back inside to throw it up. I was out. When I got in, Mike was at the backend of the cleanup. Gross.

This Christmas is unexpected for our family. A year ago, we could never have predicted where we would all be today. We would loved to have had Adrian, Stacey, Elsie and Oupa Ron with us and a back-to-normal David. Elsie, you were going to meet your cousin Lizzie, but that will be another time. We will celebrate with the family who are here today. Despite different circumstances, the message of Christmas stays the same. We celebrate the coming to earth of Jesus. Our hope is in Him.

Isaiah 51:16
“I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand—”

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Saturday Before Christmas 2023

Posted on December 23, 2023 by Helga

Dear Elsie

Today you and I had a good chat. You are so helpful in keeping me company while doing chores. We did a lot. You watched while I filled up the birds’ sugar water. Today I was careful not to put in so much sugar. I halve the amount so hopefully they won’t get through it as much. We found Raiku sitting on the balcony watching the birds drink the water. He was so interested but also very aware the birds are completely out of reach. You were so quiet while we waited for the birds – so as not to scare them away. Raiku loves to watch them. You also watched as I cleaned the balustrade on the balcony and as I wrapped Grandpa’s Christmas present.   I love chatting to you.

Earlier this morning, we had gone to the beach. The wind was not too bad and I had a lovely swim.

As did many others…

On the way home, a train pulled into Sunny Cove station. I waved at the train driver and he hooted a hello in reply.

The rest of the day was spent cleaning which bought me a great deal of satisfaction. The fire was flaring up in a few spots and so the helicopters were still water bombing the areas. The smell of smoke has gone and generally everything has died down. Unfortunately, the wind has not and a strong south-easter is due all through the long weekend. Let’s hope there are no more fires.

Today we rearranged the lounge and set up the table to accommodate the 8 of us.

This evening everyone came up for dinner and Claw’d and Raiku were introduced to Lizzie who is almost 10 months old. Claw’d was absolutely petrified. Never before has he seen a little human who is given to squawking and crawling enthusiastically after him. He did not know what to make of her! He will soon get used to her.

Time to wrap up for the day.

Isaiah 51:12
“I, even I, am He who comforts you.”

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Fire and Fumes

Posted on December 22, 2023 by Helga

Friday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day the fire came very close to our house. There are a certain exceptional set of circumstances that would cause the mountainside behind our house to burn and today one of them nearly happened. For fire to get to our house, there are two worst case scenarios. The first is if someone lit a fire the Fish Hoek side of the quarry while there was a south-easter. That would bring fire to behind  us. Alternatively, if there is a fire on Fish Hoek mountain, Glencairn side (which there was today), it has to burn over Elsie’s Peak (which it did) and then the wind has to turn to a northerly wind causing it to blow back down the mountain to behind us. Today all that happened, including the wind coming from the north and at 1pm, it looked like it was going to breech the ridge and head our way….

The wind started turning to the south and since then it has not been as much of a threat to us, but rather to the houses on the other side of the mountain – not far away – only about 1km away. This was at 3pm.

To prevent damage to property a couple of water bombers were sent to Fish Hoek beach to get water. This is a rare sight.

Overhead…

And dropping the water…

There was also a fixed wing plane of which local Peter Kemp got a fabulous photo…

We are so blessed to have such expertise. The fire further down the peninsula is still raging so the city’s resources are stretched to the limit. Hopefully, they will be able to get them under control before nightfall. The water bombing certainly helps.

This drama detracted from two other things that happened today. With the fire, someone suggest putting water out for the birds. I haven’t had my water bottle out for more than 6 months. Now the cats are settled & used to seeing birds around – pigeons often land on the balcony – I thought it would be okay to put the water bottle back. It was maybe 2 minutes before the birds found it. The cats now have big screen entertainment of moving birds. Raiku…

Claw’d watching from bed!

They haven’t gone outside to watch.

And the beach this morning was delicious. The water temperature was in the 20s. Summer holidays for sure!

The guests in the cottage left. Ruth cleaned the cottage and then Ruth, Courage and Brian ended work for the year.  We are waiting for Gerrie, Jess, Baby Lizzie, Minette and Jen to arrive in the next hour or two, having driven down from Johannesburg. They seem to have made good time.

And finally, our thoughts are also very much in Swellendam with you and your family, Elsie,  where you are looking after Oupa. He does not have much time left before he sheds his broken body and gets a new eternal one. I am praying the end will come gently.  This is what it’s all about.  This earthly life is temporary.

Isaiah 51:11
Those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Another Fire!

Posted on December 21, 2023 by Helga

Thursday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day Oupa moved into your home. It is wonderful that you are able to be there to keep him company and celebrate Christmas with him. I’m so glad your parents are there to be able to look after him. We are praying for him and for you all.

Today was the day another fire broke out on the hill over the mountain from us. The wind is only expected to drop overnight but right now it is blowing gales and it has caused the fire to swoop down the mountain towards Stonehaven Estate.  We went for a drive when we heard about it to find out exactly where it was. It’s at the Sun Valley side of Fish Hoek mountain – it started on the Glencairn side and has swept along the ridge.

The wind is so strong, it’s really blown it into an inferno.

My thoughts are with all the residents both at Stonehurst and in the Evergreen Retirement Village. The fire services have now closed Glencairn Expressway and are doing all they can to prevent damage to property. There is news that Stonehurst may need to be evacuated. This has just been posted coming from the Capri Neighbourhood Watch group.

It’s going to be a long night. The wind is due to drop by morning. These fires are so unpredictable. With the wind, sparks can fly far and wide.

Isaiah 51:6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Cat Showdown

Posted on December 20, 2023 by Helga

Wednesday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day the cats had a showdown. They went for each other with lots of hitting, biting & kicking. They are so entertaining to watch and I can’t wait for you to see them. When we are sitting in the lounge, we often have ring-side seats. The threatening stare…

Pounce and subdue

The Raiku retreat…

But an hour or two later, all is forgot…

Meanwhile, Mike and Courage were working on a different project.  The trestle table for Christmas day. Taking it onto the balcony..

Levelling the feet.

Tada….

Pity the wind is predicted to howl on Christmas Day – it’s most unlikely we will have it out on the balcony, but it looks good there today.

The fire in Simon’s Town was bought under control in the early hours. This was last night…someone posted it from Glencairn….

Today we heard it had flared up and was burning toward Rocklands. The helicopters have been at it all day. This is from the end of our road.

It’s very smoky outside. Hopefully, no property is damaged. I heard it jumped the main road towards the coast. I’m hoping to find out more.

Isaiah 50:10
Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant?
Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Fire in Simon’s Town

Posted on December 19, 2023 by Helga

Tuesday

Dear Elsie

Today was a day there were a lot of helicopters about because there was a big mountain fire above Simon’s Town. Fire services were out in force as there was a strong south-easter blowing. There were numbers of helicopters going back and forth. Sanparks.

And a military chopper. From our house, we can see the smoke but not smell it as it’s blowing towards Noordhoek.

From Simon’s Town it’s a different story. There are a lot of photos taken and posted on the neighbourhood Whatsapp group, but they have been forwarded so I don’t know who took them, although this one was clearly from the Deep South Report!

I also took some screen shots from video footage.

This was the 4pm update…

It’s going to be a long night for the fire crew.

I worked almost 7 hours and now we are about to have dinner. Julian is about to land.

Isaiah 50:9
It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Mike at Work on the Balcony

Posted on December 18, 2023 by Helga

Monday

Dear Elsie,

Today was the day we didn’t go to the beach. It was a little on the cool side and I had a bounty of work to do. I didn’t know it would only take me 6 hours.

Mike too had work to do. He put a plug in on the balcony, a task that has not been important, so it waited 3 years. Today it got done.

Now I can work on the balcony. Mike also sprayed some tacks so they don’t rust. There is maintenance to be done, including painting the balcony ceiling.

All in good time.

Today was the day I went to the doctor to get a new prescription. All is well. He also froze off a sun spot on my right arm. Hopefully that will heal and be gone.

In Swellendam, the family are seeing Ron is being cared for. We are praying for him daily. On Wednesday, they will take him to the oncologist and see what can be done to make him more comfortable. It’s not easy to be told your days are numbered, but it does give you the opportunity to put your house in order and spend time with those you love.

Isaiah 48:17
This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”

We will follow Him.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

One of the Perfect Days

Posted on December 17, 2023 by Helga

Sunday

Dear Elsie,

Today was one of the perfect days in Cape Town. The sea was very calm and crystal clear. There was not too much wind, making it a spectacular summer’s day. We got to swim and I went for a walk later in the day. Two other things happened. Wayne came. We haven’t seen Wayne for a while and I asked him to cut a few things on his laser cutter. He came to drop them off. He’s never been here before so was excited to see the view.

The last couple of days there have been helicopters flying very low. Yesterday, one flew almost at the level of our house and dipped down over Fish Hoek beach before flying along the coast. It looked like a Sanparks chopper. Today there was another helicopter which flew for a bit, then hovered, then flew on. It gave me the opportunity to take a photo.

It doesn’t surprise me there were a number of private aircraft taking tourists on flips over the Peninsula. It’s just not common for them to come so low.

Another thing we saw late this afternoon were the trek fisherman out in the bay. We usually see them when we are down at the beach. It’s not often we see them plying their trade after 5pm. But there they were with their long fishing net in tow…

Hope they were successful. More of the day…

We know we have to enjoy these days because windlessness is not a frequent friend in Cape Town.

David has had two weeks upstairs. He has not been out for weeks. Julian arrives Tuesday so he will move back down to the Little Lookout where he has easier access to the street and may even go for a drive. He is determined not to overdo it. Going out will only be once every 10 days or so & then very slow. The days of going to church and slow walks ended abruptly in early October when he had a massive relapse from which he has not yet fully recovered. This is a slow business.

One day at a time.

Isaiah 46:10
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

All Hands on Deck

Posted on December 16, 2023 by Helga

Saturday

Dear Elsie,

Today was the day you & I had one of our lovely long chats. You watched while I picked the tiny ripe tomatoes from the tomato plant. And you saw the cats, watched me take the washing off the line and it was the day I read the little book on Zacchaeus to you. We spoke for an hour.

The day actually began a lot earlier. It was all hands on deck today as one guest left and the others said they were coming an hour later. That’s what they said yesterday. At 10am, I helped the guest pack her car. Ruth arrived and we got stuck in. The table cloth was in no fit state so I got another, but that needed ironing. Ah, we have an iron.

Ruth cleaned the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

Mike & I did the upstairs (which just needed touching up) and the lounge.

It took the 3 of us 2 hours and we were good to go. Ruth was grateful for the help. The guests only arrived, in the end, at 2pm. I also had a chat with the guest in the Seaview Apartment. He leaves on Saturday but is back at the end of January and then mid-March to the end of May.  This means we’ll have the two main units occupied while we are, God willing, overseas. Our cruise is due to begin in 109 days.

This afternoon, I walked to Fish Hoek to do some shopping. I came home along Daisy Lane and stopped for a few minutes to admire the view.

Mike and David are watching chess.

Isaiah 46:9
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Half Day Off

Posted on December 15, 2023 by Helga

Friday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day that I had half the day off. I did some work early this morning and then a bit more this afternoon but had most of the day off. That was a treat. This morning when David came down, he managed to get himself an armful of cats. It’s not often that Raiku, particularly, will allow himself to be carried for long enough to have his photo taken.

David looks well here. The photo belies the befuddling underlying disorder.

The cats have bought much joy. They also have some foibles. Raiku does not like being picked up but when he does allow someone to sit and stroke him, he will purr loudly. Claw’d hardly purrs at all, but will lie for as much time as I allow on my lap enjoying every minute…just not purring. I asked Google why?

It is true that Claw’d will stare at me. Sometimes he stares at me from across the lounge and then will blink slowly. Other times he watches me intently…following my every move. But purring? Not so much. He is a lap cat which Raiku is not. We have stopped closing them in the study at night now, although it was detrimental to my sleep last night. Raiku woke me up at not long after 4am with pitiful meowing, pleading to be let out. Eventually, closer to 5am, I got up and let them out.

Mid morning, Mike and I went shopping. The shops were busy but not overwhelming. There’s a bit more to be done.

Tomorrow is going to be interesting. The guests arriving at the cottage tomorrow, asked if it would be ok if they arrived at 11am. We have a guest in the cottage who is leaving tomorrow. I said to the arriving guests that they can leave their luggage in the loft as the guest will only be out at 10am. They were fine with that. Then the current guest who is leaving asked if she could leave later as the next place she is going to can’t have her early! Ruth arrives at 10am. We will go down at 10am, help the out-going guest with her luggage and bring her up to the Little Lookout until she wants to leave. We’ve had the LL on Airbnb but no one booked it, so the guest may as well hang out there for an hour or two. Anyway, that’s tomorrow’s problem. For this evening, we await friends.

One of my favourites…

Isaiah 46:4
Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Mike Pulled a Little Tendon in His Knee

Posted on December 14, 2023 by Helga

Thursday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day that dawned beautiful and relatively calm…

but we didn’t go to the beach, because yesterday Grandpa pulled a little tendon in his knee. He was moving a bed & didn’t know he had hurt it until he was coming up the stairs. Today he rested it and it is feeling better, so if the wind isn’t too bad tomorrow, we’ll go slowly down and have our swim.

I worked for most of the day and then later this afternoon I went out to do some Christmas shopping.

Today I learned something about some of the house plants, including the two delicious monsters  and the pink anthurium we have in the lounge. They monstera are growing and needing to be planted into bigger pots. I’ve discovered they are toxic to cats and if the cats show an interest in them and start licking them or (stupidly) take a bite out of one of their leaves or stems, they will feel sick – and they may throw up or just get a very irritated gut. It’s not deadly, but it will make them feel blugh.  So now all three are on the trunk. The one on the right David bought me for my birthday. It’s a sacrificial gift when you have crippling fatigue and go out to a nursery to buy a gift.

Meanwhile, they have bath-time on their minds. Raiku with his paws around Claw’d’s neck and both washing the other. 2 cats a cleaning…

Long weekend, although I’ll probably do some work tomorrow.

Isaiah 45:24
They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.
