Thursday
Dear Elsie
So now it’s called Paul’s showers! Turns out Paul spoke to the beach manager and he gave Paul keys for the communal bathrooms at the beach so the early risers can have access. Paul then went and bought two really nice shower heads and he comes prepared with extra loo paper and cleaning materials. Paul’s showers. I think there should be a sign!
But, I have to add, that Paul is at the beach really early and if you get there too long after 8am, he would have taken them down and you’ll have to wait for the city workers to arrive with their ones. Paul was very happy for me to take his photo!
Great community spirit and a motivation for us to get down there early enough to enjoy them.
Beautiful day for the beach. I had a good swim today. I’m getting back into it.
There was another unusual happening at the beach today. It had to do with the trek fishermen who own a couple of these boats…
We encountered the fishermen on the cat walk on the way down. They had tied rope around a stack of brand new strips of meranti wood. It looked wonderful, yet they were about to throw it into the sea.
Whatever for? They explained they were adding to one of the boats to make it bigger and the only way to bend the wood was to soak it for a couple of days. So in it went & a guard was posted for the duration of the day.
Back home, I finally caught up with all my work and tomorrow should be an easier day. Almost the end of the week.
Last year when David’s health was particularly bad, I took comfort from so many verses in the Bible. This was one of them.
Psalm 94:19
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
When things fall apart, we still have a solid Foundation.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
