Carrying Sand

Posted on October 25, 2023 by Helga

Wednesday

Dear Elsie

Today was a warm and sunny day. We had a sand delivery and Brian, Courage’s handlanger, was assigned the task of carrying the sand in bucket loads up the 99 stairs to the top. He is so strong. He carries a big bucket, one after the other, on and on for the entire morning until eventually all the sand is at the top of the stairs.

We decided to get some exercise and join him. I claimed I’d take 10 loads. My bucket was a small one. It took me 20 minutes to do 5 loads and by then I was finished! Brian appreciated our help.

I was not built to do this, but it’s very good exercise.

My heart rate went up to 177. It was a relief to get back to  my paying job!

Meantime, these two…Day time cat-napping!

A few minutes after this photo was taken, Raiku woke up and with renewed energy and zest walked across to Claw’d and stood on his head to get to the top platform. Claw’d was furious and batted him along with a scowl of displeasure. Raiku is the jester for sure.

I worked 9 hours. We did some shopping and amazingly, the glazing guy came this evening and stamped all the windows/doors that have safety glass. We were happy about that. Another step to our occupation certificate,

David has been terrible the last few days. This morning, I sat in my rocking chair and had a fleeting sense that everything will be okay. He’s going to get better. We just have to keep moving forward, one day at a time. Today was really awful for him. He’s feeling so flat, without energy and with renewed muscle pain and heart palpitations.  All I can imagine is that the microclots are breaking down and releasing toxins. He’s supposed to get worse before he gets better.

Isaiah 26:12
Lord, You establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished You have done for us.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Another Box Ticked

Posted on October 24, 2023 by Helga

Tuesday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we finally got another box ticked. The building inspector approved of the plumbing in the plot behind and Courage and Brian can now continue the stairs.

Julian and Gerrie flew back to Johannesburg. David had a quiet day. He seems to have had a bit of a relapse, which is pretty much in keeping with the sudden increase in microclots. He has been extremely tired today with worse than normal fatigue. He took it very easy and did get to enjoy the cricket. South Africa played Bangladesh and beat them soundly.

I also had a visit from Riana – it was nice to catch up.

I worked about 7 hours after which I walked to the end of the road and back and then sat on the balcony and enjoyed the view.

For the rest of the week, we have the windows guy coming (hopefully) tomorrow and then Thursday we head to Swellendam.  We are looking forward to that!

Isaiah 26:9
My soul yearns for You in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for You.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Swimming Through Murky Water

Posted on October 23, 2023 by Helga

Monday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we went to the beach. There wasn’t too much wind, but what there was came from the north. Walking down the cat walk, I could already see there were undercurrents and rip tides that would make swimming a little trickier. I could also see with it churning and swirling, there would be quite a bit of debris. On arriving at the bench, the locals announced a big seal had been seen swimming quite close to shore and I was advised to look out for it. Some seals have known to have become quite aggressive. With a bit of trepidation, I entered the water and waded & then swam through a garden of slimy seaweed in order to get beyond the breakers. Grateful for the lack of sharks, I keep a close eye out for seals and made my way towards the little lighthouse. I swam to just beyond the lifesaving club and back. By then there was someone swimming out by the barrel so I swam there and then back to the beach. Mike and I have new exercise watches and this one gives me more information about my swim. It was interesting to see.

I think it will encourage me to swim further and faster. And now that it’s monitoring my stroke, maybe when I’m not afraid of a seal, I’ll swim more crawl than breaststroke. No sign of the seal in the end. But on the way home, there were signs of the cat walk’s resident otters. They are very shy but have been known to come out at night.

Our walk home takes us over the Sunnycove Station Bridge. I stopped to take this photo. Could be anywhere in the world. If an outsider had to guess, I don’t think they would say this is Africa.

Home, breakfast and I worked for 9 hours.

Julian and Gerrie laboured their way through the massive consignment of books. Tomorrow, they return to Johannesburg. And now it’s time for me to turn in for the night.

Isaiah 26:8

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of Your laws, we wait for You.

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

God bless you.

Summer Vibes

Posted on October 22, 2023 by Helga

Sunday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we had a very good rest. Most of South Africa woke up still reveling in the fact that, last night, South African Springboks snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. We were losing to England for about 80% of the semi final rugby match. Then, right at the death, we managed to clinch it and won by 1 point 16-15, so through to the finals of the 2023 Rugby World Cup we go. We play the All Blacks on Saturday next week. Earlier in the day, we had pretty much crushed England in a World Cricket Cup ODI, so it was all in all, a bad day for English sport. The internet was full of it.

The wind dropped overnight and then dropped even more during the day, leaving a splendid day. The navy ship did the rounds…

I spotted a couple of dolphins and I think I heard the shark alarm go off at Muizenberg. It wasn’t loud enough for Fish Hoek, so it may have been round one of the other bays. Summer vibes.

This afternoon, our new guest arrived for the next 6 nights. Lovely day to fly into Cape Town. And, Gerrie arrived to help Julian with his book consignment that is arranged for tomorrow.

A restful day.

Isaiah 26:7

The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth.

Even when it doesn’t feel smooth, God is at work. His silence does not mean He is absent.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Cats & Cricket

Posted on October 21, 2023 by Helga

Saturday

Dear Elsie

Today I took loads of photos of the cats throughout the day. You can see how much they park off in the cat corner. This is a corner of the lounge, where they have their cat stand and a little bench where they sleep and chill. I just didn’t realise they spent so much time there…as we were home most of the day, I tracked their activities…starting at 8.19am

Two hours later….

An hour after that…these lazy boys were still lounging…David got them moving…

Just after noon they went out…

An hour later, they were sleeping off their hard activity…

By 2.19pm they had split up…

Raiku under the table…

3.19pm

It’s a hard life but someone has to do it! This was a funny one. Raiku needs a lot of attention and entertainment. He tends to annoy Claw’d. Here he had been standing on Clawd’s head. He’s just lifted his foot when I took the photo but I still got Clawd’s expression!

The van-niecats – always entertaining.

I wasn’t only taking photos of cats today. This morning before 8am, Mike and I cleaned the Seaview apartment as the guests had left really early. Then Mike went off to the SV house and met the plumber there. That issue is fixed for now. While he was out, I cleaned our apartment and did the laundry.

From 10.30am we were mainly sitting in front of the TV watching South Africa play England in World Cat – I mean Cup – Cricket.  After being 4 for 1 in the first over, our hearts sank. But we made a phenomenal recovery and went onto score a scintillating 399 in our 50 overs. It was 37C in Mumbai and conditions were gruelling. England just was on the back foot from the get go and we soon bowled them out. As we lost to Netherlands the other day in a nightmare of a match, we know how hard it is to lose. We can’t let down our guard. Next match is against Bangladesh on Tuesday.

And now it’s time to rest – maybe I’ll even get an hour’s sleep ahead of the rugby tonight – another World Cup match against England. Go SA.

A good Saturday so far.

Isaiah 26:4

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.

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

God bless you.

New Day

Posted on October 20, 2023 by Helga

Friday

Dear Elsie

Last night ended well. We had a quiet evening & got to bed relatively early. Everything calmed down. My mood improved. Julian had work to do. David was tired.  Neither missed visiting us & today was a new day. 

At just after 5am, the water (finally) came back on and that also was a big relief. The cats found my lap…

Mike tried fixing the leaking hot water cylinder at the SV house – with no success so he is hoping to meet the plumber there tomorrow. The neighbours moved into the cottage (for almost 2 months)  so we now have 4 cats and a big dog on the property. I’m not sure my cats know this yet, but they will soon find out that the cats are not next door.

I worked 8 hours but this afternoon took a quick trip to Sun Valley Mall where an enormous tent has been put up. It is an ominous day – look at that dark cloud.

But back to the tent. I wandered over to the entrance and asked what it is there for. I got the inside intel. For the next two weeks, starting on Monday, they will have this tent full of special reduced offers. It’s like a massive pop up sale. “Get there early” said the lady, “before 9am.”  We will be going for the towels.

Meanwhile, inside the Mall, more specials. This is at Dischem…

Sugar free cookies? David’s favourite. I left a few boxes on the shelf, but 14 came home with me.

We are excited this weekend, because Gerrie comes on Sunday, so we will get to see him. Julian has a big consignment of books to get through and Gerrie is coming to help.

Other good news of the day, which I’ve just told Mike is that the glazing guy is planning to drop by on Wednesday next week with the final piece of paper for our build – he says he will bring the certificate and stamp our glass. At last we will be able to start working on finalizing the permanent occupation certificate. Let’s hope.

Big sport weekend. We’ll be watching.

A happier day comes to an end. When you have a horrible day, a better one is always ahead.

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trust in You.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

An Awful Day

Posted on October 19, 2023 by Helga

Thursday

Dear Elsie

Today was an awful day. It was not serious awful, it was just stressful awful. We all worked way too hard and had too many extra issues to deal with that left all of us frazzled and me very bad tempered.

On an awful day, one thing is allowed. You can tuck yourself up super early, stay away from everyone and just recover from the frazzle. We woke with  no water.

Mike had to drive out the valley to find drinking water for the guests and us. He then worked from 7.30am to almost 5pm on the electrics in  the cottage before guests move in tomorrow. He then drove out to find more water. He arrived back absolutely exhausted to hear the SV house’s hot water cylinder has burst. I have worked 9 hours. I’m finished, so I dropped David’s dinner with him, Julian’s dinner with him and when Mike gets home, he will have a quiet evening for us all to recover.  In my frustration, I threw a few things that wouldn’t break!

Tomorrow will certainly be better.

Surely grateful not every day will be like this.

Isaiah 26:8
We wait for You.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Home From Wolfkop

Posted on October 18, 2023 by Helga

Wednesday

Dear Elsie

Today we came home from Wolfkop. The day began with cappuccino on the balcony with lovely light across the mountains. View from the balcony..

We chatted for more than an hour and then just after 8, we had breakfast and started packing up. By 9.30am, the cleaner arrived providing a useful photographer for a group photo. She was very creative…taking all sorts of angles…

But it did makes us laugh….

It was a really lovely couple of days away.  Thank you John and Avril for your warm hospitality.

We had an uneventful trip home.

We arrived home just before 1pm,  unpacked,  showered and I was in front of my computer by 1.30pm. I worked for 5 hours, had two meetings and caught up with most of my email.

One of the things I was excited about today was getting Flame Lily seeds from Avril. You have no idea of how thrilled I am over these!

I’ve already planted a few of them and will be getting a few more in pots soon. I am really determined to get these growing.

Julian arrived later this afternoon. Dinner was had with lively conversation about world affairs.

Isaiah 25:9
In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in Him; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Wolfkop 2

Posted on October 17, 2023 by Helga

Tuesday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we had another lovely day at Wolfkop. I started the day by doing a bit of work and then we went for a walk before it got too hot. We walked across to the newest house on the reserve which has not yet been stayed in. As with all the houses here, there are sweeping views…

The rest of the day was spent at such leisure. It was hot so time at the pool was mandatory.

John and Avril on the quad-bike…

Mike and I watched cricket, but then this happened…John was the photographer and the comment at the bottom is his!

It was wonderful having an afternoon nap. Later we went for another walk – this time Mike and I found the path that meanders through the bush…

It does a loop, coming out at the new house…

We followed the road back to our place…

 I enjoyed the jacuzzi and Mike joined me for a quick dip before dinner.

Dinner was another enormous meal. Electricity went off at 8pm and we were plunged into darkness. Fortunately, there were a few solar lights, so we sat chatting for 2 hours before the lights came back on.

We’ve had a wonderful time & thanks to John and Avril for inviting us. Tomorrow we head home, but Wolfkop is a good place to know about.

Isaiah 25:8
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; He will remove His people’s disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.

We long for that day.

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

God bless you.

Monday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we left for a trip up the West Coast to the Cederberg Mountains. I think we went further than we’ve been, to a nature reserve called Wolfkop and we are here for two nights. It’s with our friends John & Avril and new friends, Mark and Linda. The trip out is along the N7 where we met up with John and Avril at quaint place called Desert Rose.

The main thing about this place is they collect number plates and there are a lot of them. This is on the outside wall..

And this is just a sample of what’s inside…so interesting to see American number plates as well…

We soon arrived in Citrusdal, picked up a little bit of shopping and then onto the nature reserve which is beautiful. This is one little piece of the  paradise…it so reminds me of Zimbabwe.

It is in celebration of John’s birthday, so there was cake!

It’s good to be away. Tomorrow I’ll take more photos of the surroundings.  Dinner is happening soon, so let me get this posted.

Isaiah 25:4
You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.

4 Years Ago & 3 Years Ago

Posted on October 15, 2023 by Helga

Sunday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we had a guest check out and we needed to clean the Seaview apartment before the next guests arrive tomorrow. We also had one of January’s guests arrive to see the cottage. She loved it and is excited to be coming for a couple of months. After the clean and the visit, I did a load of laundry. I grabbed everything in the basket and pushed it into the washing machine as I have done 100 times before. Only, unbeknown to me, there was something caught up in the wash – paper towel perhaps – but a chunk of it and it got finely shredded through the duvet cover, sheets and pillow cases. This drying up cloth seemed to be closest to it. All that white, is paper!

Perhaps later this week, I’ll toss the rest of the linen back in for round two. There’s no great rush for it.

On the sports front, the big upset of the day was Afghanistan beating England in a Cricket World Cup match. England saved face by beating Fiji in the rugby. Afghanistan had until today, only one 1 World Cup match ever before. Today was their second, so they must be elated. England have now placed 3 and won 1. Afghanistan moving up the table, leave Australia at the bottom. That will change when Australia play another minnow. We play Netherlands on Tuesday. We need to keep up our guard. These upsets can happen.

But the big reminder today was from Google, telling me what was happening 4 years ago today and 3 years ago today.

4 years, in 2019, foundations were being dug and the groundworks being done. This was by what is now our front door. I remember saying at the time, ‘this is where the front door will be..’ Oct 15th 2019…

Fast forward 1 full year from then to October 15th 2020, and this is what was happening…we were moving.

The front entrance left much to be desired. This was a month before…

All those rocks became walls.

We slept our first night in our new home on the 16th October 2020. I remember that night so well. So very strange to be in a new house, high up on the mountainside. After 30 years in the same home, to be in the newly built one – the one that we  had watched go up bit by bit – was unexpected. The new view was extraordinary & the idea that this would be what we called ‘home’ was quite astonishing. I hardly slept that night. I lay awake in awe, dozing on and off, waking in wonderment to the sight of the sea and distant twinkling lights. Finally at about 2am, I fell asleep. When I woke up, the sea was still there. For at the first week, that was what I thought when I woke up, ‘the sea is still there!’ I was like a child. And I have to admit, the joy and pleasure remain. We have not got used to this. It is enhanced by the coming and going of guests. They love the view and the closeness of the ocean and when they leave, we get to stay.

I worked a couple of hours this afternoon and now am going to see if I can stay awake for the rugby. That will be a long shot, but we’ll see.

Isaiah 25:1
Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your Name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvellous things, things planned long ago.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Satisfying Saturday

Posted on October 14, 2023 by Helga

Saturday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day you went to Nora’s 5th birthday party! We exchanged voice notes in the morning. One of the things that has crossed my mind over the last day is your impression of my daily scrawlings in 20 years time, when you are 25. I imagine you reading this & asking the question, ‘what was Covid?’ and shaking your head in disbelief that the medical profession were scratching in the dark for a solution to your Uncle David’s fatigue and strange combination of symptoms. Perhaps in 2043, there will be a single test that sprouts the answer for all the body’s maladies. I wonder what you will be doing in 20 years time and where Nora is!

Today was the day the cottage guest who had stayed 39 nights, left. He comes back at the end of November. He also has touched on renting the cottage for a year. We’ll talk about it and let him know. For now, he’s coming next month and then in February again.

It was a very productive day for us. Mike did some measuring up in the cottage and bought some conduiting for electrics that he will do next week. I did laundry, housework and shopping. What’s cool about this weekend is  there is more “weekend” to follow, as we are away Monday and Tuesday nights. We are going to the Cederberg/ Citrusdal with good friends. One thing I like is there will be no doubt about the weather. On this occasion, it is not indecisive. Packing will be easy.

This is on the lower side compared to other weather sites I saw. They predict 36 – 40C! I don’t mind heat as long as there’s an air-conditioner and a swimming pool.  We are looking forward to it.

This afternoon we walked along to the bottom of Elsie’s Peak to see how the excavation is coming along. Not much has changed.

Mike and David are watching rugby – Argentina playing Wales and Wales is ahead.

Isaiah 19:25
The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel, my inheritance.”

We do not know the mind of God.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Log on the Rocks

Posted on October 13, 2023 by Helga

Friday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we saw the logs on the rocks.   I had read about this on Facebook & this morning when we went for our swim, it was low tide, so we got to see the logs up close. No one knows where they came from. It must have been one big trunk that got split in two and washed up after the storm a couple of weeks ago. A massive heavy tree trunk which the shark spotters are trying to cut up, with minimal success. This is the part just below the cat walk…

Then further out, there is another big piece. As it was low tide, I was able to walk across the rocks to see it…

And I took a couple of photos from there as well. Beautiful Fish Hoek at low tide with the sea perfect for swimming today.

Looking the other way…

I had a good swim, both out to the barrel and towards the lighthouse. The sea was flat, calm and clear. The temperature was about 16. Perfect for a morning dip. It certainly gets us the best of the day.

Home for breakfast and work and then at 11am, Gareth, our cottage guest who leaves tomorrow, came up for coffee. He is planning some long stays in our cottage. He comes to the Seaview Apartment at the end of next month for almost 4 weeks and returns again in February. Single with a life in Gauteng, he’s looking to spend more of it down here by the seaside.  And why not? We are blessed to enjoy this every single day.

Today, David contacted the doctor about his blood clots and asked what the next steps should be. He got this response…So the trial continues. Hopefully, when this new stuff arrives, it will kill the clots for good. What would we do without our faith, I do not know. God knows what’s going on. He has David’s back. Mike’s good advice – just enjoy today. We don’t need to think too much about the future.

Isaiah 17:7
In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Highs & Lows of the Day

Posted on October 12, 2023 by Helga

Thursday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day that had highs and lows. The biggest high of the last 24 hours though, was hearing that yesterday, you, my sweet, darling Elsie, invited Jesus into your heart. I couldn’t be more delighted. When I did the same thing in 1979, my life changed and the effect of that simple step of faith has influenced every day since. My prayer for you is that you will feel the love of God in your life and heart all the days of your life. You are 5 now. May the blessing of knowing Jesus be as fresh when you reach old age. I am so grateful for the hope we have as Christians. Wed 11th October 2023 will be an important day in your life.

And that hope is what is carrying us through this trial. David’s blood results came back. While he is feeling better, recovering faster and able to get out a bit more, to our astonishment, his blood results came back unchanged. Big clumps of clots – sticky undissolved microclots that are preventing his endothelium from healing.

They are tiny, but they are still there. As we tried unpacking this information, we concluded that as he’s not entirely better, we were expecting some clots but not that they would be the same (or maybe even worse). The email that came from the doctor’s rooms asked if David had been sick or even been reinfected with Covid because this was a clear sign the endothelium is still not better.  The way ahead is to continue the blood thinners in the hope that they continue to slowly dissolve the clots.

Our mood was lifted somewhat, by the brilliant win SA had against Australia in our second match of the cricket world cup. It always feels good beating Australia.

Tomorrow is another day.

Isaiah 18:4
This is what the Lord says to me: “I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place…”

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

Hadedas at Sunrise

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Helga

Wednesday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we saw large noisy hadedas at sunrise. They are the noisiest birds in Africa!

It was a glorious morning, so we threw open our bedroom balcony doors. Raiku immediately was drawn to them.

I wondered what he had seen. And when I went to look, it was  the neighbourhood hadedas…

A short while later, they took off towards Fish Hoek, barking their loud interruptive cry as they went.

Because the day was so beautiful, we went to the beach. The sea wasn’t as great as it looked. It was warmer than recently – probably about 16C but it was a little choppy in places and had unusual undercurrents. I thought I saw a seal out at the barrel so I initially didn’t go out there, but then I realised it was a duck. I’m not afraid of ducks, so I swam out, then back to Mike, back to the barrel and back to the beach. It was a good 30 minutes in the water again. I loved it.

I worked for 7 hours.

David had a friend around, which took up his morning. Tomorrow we should get his blood results back. We’ll see.

I’m not sure if Valerie-Gail still reads my blog, but if she does, happy 70th birthday!

End of another busy day.

Isaiah 16:5
In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it— one from the house of David— one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.
