Tuesday
Today was the day…
I felt more in control than yesterday. I’ve worked a 9+ hour day but did the last hour between 8 & 9pm and so had a break in-between. Also, mid-morning the MD of the company called and sorted a few queries out with me which leads me to believe my position in the company is secure. It’s always good to know that. It makes me feel a lot better.
Mike drove out to Philippi to pick up plumbing piping. This Friday we have 4 water tanks arriving & he needed to get the 25m piping to join the tanks. It was a long drive, but the place he went to is a supplier of irrigation systems for the surrounding farmers, so their price was much lower than local hardware stores and, their selection was greater. He also came home with 30m of rope from Rope World. This purchase is to haul the tanks up the stairs. It’s tricky because the tree makes it necessary to maneuver the tanks over the wall that Courage built. They will be fed through the gap on the bottom left of the photo below and then over the wall to where Courage is standing. They are not heavy (32kg each) but they are bulky. It’s going to be quite an exercise.
Mike is a pro at preparation and tries to think through the entire process to avoid any surprises. He Googled how to get a washing machine up stairs and found amazing results which he put into practice yesterday. It made it much easier.
Julian arrived at lunch time and then around 5pm we walked down to the beach and back. The evening light was beautiful.
It’s quite interesting seeing this photo because the drainage ditch on the right – with the white wall in front of it, is a marker for me when I’m swimming. When I see that in view, I know I’ve arrived at the barrel. The tide was quite high. It was good to get out and get some exercise.
Home, dinner, chat, work, blog, shower, bed.
Another personal best. Lol.

In Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
