Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we woke up after the big hike yesterday and we both felt fine. It was a good day to take it easy, rest, sleep and do very little, so that’s what we did. David came up for coffee. I remembered I had bacon & eggs, so I made a cooked breakfast which went down a treat. Then David went home and we slept!
In the afternoon, I did 2 hours of work to get ahead of the pack tomorrow. Then we nipped out to buy some groceries.
Last night we went to the Berettas for dinner. Riana made a wonderful Moroccan dish of chicken and couscous. She made a huge batch and so I came home with a bowl of couscous, some of which I had with my breakfast. For dinner, I added a bunch of veggies, some cheese and mayo and it was delicious!
It has to be a very slow day when I post a photo of food! I think the first time I ever had couscous was when we went on a family canoeing holiday to the Breede River. I think it was in the early 2000s. That paddling holiday was hard work. I was not nearly as fit then as I am today and I remember one of the workers having to come and tow me along for a while because we were so slow and had fallen way behind. I think Stacey and I were sharing a canoe. Yoh. It was exhausting paddling up stream into the wind.
I had a nice long call with Stacey which was a highlight of the day. So excited for you Elsie starting Grade 1 this week. How time flies.
And that’s it, for the weekend. Almost half way through January.
Onwards and upwards in 2025.
Matthew 9:12-13
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
