Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day, we didn’t go to the beach. I went for a walk but decided to break into a job, trotting down the hills and mostly walking up them. According to my watch, it’s the kind of exercise I should be doing to get fitter
That got the day off to a good start. I was grateful too, this morning, that I didn’t encounter one of Raiku’s offerings on the lounge floor. This happened on Saturday morning, when he left a huge rat for me to find. Without thinking about the consequences, I used a piece of toilet paper, picked it up and with a good tennis action, tossed it into the neighbour’s bush. This morning Mike went outside and found Raiku on the stairs with the remains of above mentioned rat. Arghhhh! Raiku! Courage retrieved the rodent and gave it a burial. This cat, he is a ratscallion. True hunter.
Mike and David are currently listening to President Trump giving his inauguration speech. There is much laughter coming from the lounge!
Julian and I walked to the end of the road & encountered the City Sewerage department. There’s always something. This time it’s a blocked sewer. This guy has the eww job – yet he very cheerfully jumped in front of my camera keen to be snapped – 5.30pm and still smiling!
The wind has picked up and will blow through tomorrow before dropping on Wednesday.
And that’s the day.
Psalm 18:2
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
