Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day that the wind blew and it rained. Meanwhile, guests left and the pile of washing grew, so we did 3 loads, which put a mighty strain on our washing line facilities and my patience. Fortunately, one load was in the cottage and there is a line in the laundry so that was that. The other loads were put out on the balcony. I selected a spot outside my study which was a little more protected from the a fresh north wind which blew in a number of squalls. This had me scurrying outside to move the washing inside before the rain blew over them. Once passed, out it went again. Eventually, I used the tumble drier which cork-screwed a corner of a sheet into a long thin twisted knot that resembled a rope. That is now hanging on the indoor line. Most of it is now dry. The reason for the rush is because tomorrow we are going away for a few nights. David will take care of the cats and Courage will take care of everything else.
Claw’d has come to keep me company. While Raiku may be the hunter, Claw’d is the acrobat. He has the ability to twist and cork-screw, flip and fly. Hungry, he will almost walk on his hind legs while the food is being carried. For now, he’s just chilling & I’m (finally) going grey! 😅
And with that, David has come down for dinner, so let me go.
Dinner is done, tea is drunk and now it’s time to wind down for the night.
Psalm 145:8
The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
