Wednesday
Today was the day…
That dawned overcast with a hint of rain that didn’t materialise. No swim was had, but we did walk to Harbour Bay this evening. One of the reasons we didn’t swim this morning is because my watch battery was almost dead and my charger had broken. Initially it was a failing charger, that needed careful jiggling to get the connection going. Eventually, the jiggling was not working so well any more and it was replaced with fury and frustration, occasional meltdowns, with Mike needing to take over the jiggling! But that could only continue so long before one of the pins was completely gone and it didn’t work. End of story. Battery dead. No more Garmin swimming watch. I set about finding a replacement. I found one on the Garmin website, but the flaw was obvious. It was R499. Put your order in here. We will send you a pro-forma invoice. You pay via EFT. When your R499 reflects, we will ship it to you. I did all of that. Then I went onto Take-a-lot and voila! R114. And it works perfectly!
Because it was only R114, it meant I’d pay a delivery fee unless I spent R450, so I bought Mike printer ink and I bought this for Elsie’s 4th birthday.
Watch is now charged and back on my arm and tomorrow, I may get to swim.
Google reminded me this week of what was going down two years ago. The Little Lookout was under construction. The kitchen area.
Little Lookout kitchen…
The view window…
It’s amazing how much has been accomplished over the last two years. Courage has been an amazing worker and has achieved a huge amount, in building the wall and landscaping. He has really honed his stonemasonry.
Tomorrow David returns to PE. He comes back in about a month – spends a few weeks here and then heads overseas for a couple of months. Right now, we are sitting in the lounge and he is playing classical music for us. So peaceful.
He’s nearly at 10000 YouTube subscribers.
I worked for more than 8 hours today. The walk to Harbour Bay did me the world of good.
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
