Well done!!
For us today was another drizzly day. I tried to get some lunchtime exercise but my walk was quickly cut short by water falling from the sky!
Last night I got a WhatsApp from Claire, a lady who lives about 20 houses up the road. She is almost at the very end of the road. I saw her the other day when I was out walking and she mentioned in passing that she had seen my cat in her back garden. No, surely not – she’s miles away. She said not so far as the crow flies and she isn’t wrong, but it still seems a very long way. She said she had even see him cross the road at the end and go down the sea-side of the mountain!
He’s such a naughty boy if it is him. She sent me this photo.
I scrutinized it and compared Raiku’s colouring and markings and concluded it has to be him. The similarities are too close. I took a photo of his back and put the photos side by side. His fur’s a bit disrupted because he’s come through the bush.
Sometimes he does go out for several hours and I wonder where he’s been. Now I know. Claire said they have mongooses and other exotic things up that end! Raiku must be in on them. Anyway, right now he is tucked up in his bed and fast asleep. The cold weather keeps him in.
Julian left to go back to Johannesburg. David is having dinner with Anna, so the house is very quiet. Work has consumed my day. I’m having one more meeting and then calling it a day.
Psalm 135:6-7
The Lord does whatever pleases Him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from His storehouses.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
