Saturday
Today was the day…
We remembered my brother Arnold. Today would have been his 62nd birthday. The last birthday he celebrated on earth was 15 years ago today, when he turned 47. We miss him, but have to believe his current life is far fuller and more meaningful than this life we live on earth.
Mike and I started the day with a swim! The water was warm and the sunshine full. It was lovely.
We got home, changed and then went out with Julian to trawl through some charity shops. We ended up at the Joyce Chevalier market. After that, Mike needed to go to Plumstead electrical so we dashed through there, arriving 10 minutes before they closed. A genteel drive home took us past Restorabilia in Diep River where we stopped for carrot cake and coffee.
Inside Restorabilia… they are so full of amazing things -it’s a place to get good ideas.
Outside…
That cat is smart! He was curled up on one of the chairs at another table. As we finished, he sauntered across to our table and jumped up. I had a little milk left from my coffee and he went for it, so I poured it into the saucer and he lapped it up. He’s the cat that got the cream for sure!
After getting home, Stacey, Elsie and I had a good chinwag. Elsie is growing up so fast now and getting so talkative. She has opinions. I cleaned the bird bottle out and refilled it with sugar water. I hung it back up outside and within seconds, literally two seconds, a massive Cape long tail sugar bird arrived. I showed Elsie and she said ‘oh my word!’ So sweet.
Dinner – ribs at Sav during load shedding.
Psalm 18:48
You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; You save me from violent opponents.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
