Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today I woke up still feeling a bit under the weather. I’m not completely better, but my throat is no longer sore. I now have a streaming nose. I am also sleep deprived. I haven’t slept well the last few nights. Last night it was a mosquito that woke me up and tormented me for an hour. The night before it was my sore throat. I am sure I will sleep better tonight.
The sun rose and with mist rolling into the bay, it looked amazing.
Way before sunrise, I spent a little time sitting on the balcony admiring & enjoying the stillness of the early morning. Later, after the mist rolled in, the temperature was a number of degrees colder than my morning visit to the balcony. The wind is from the north, although no rain is forecast. It’s just very autumnal weather.
I do enjoy it when the weather is decisive… and that seems to be what we can expect on our upcoming holiday. It will range from cold to very cold. I have found Accuweather to be pretty reliable. This is Flam, one of our stops.
A bit on the chilly side but we will be happy with partly sunny. Of course, it could change, but we hope for the best.
After feeling very tired, I’m getting a second wind and going to take myself off up the road. I’ll look out for the puff adder that has arrived on the street and comes out from time to time. The snake man comes rushing over only to find it’s slithered away.
I left the house and as I walked down the road, I realised I had a follower.
He gapped it when a car came along.
Meanwhile, at the end of the road, the yachts were in full view.
On the way home, Dhiresh was arriving at his temporary accommodation, so I stopped to chat. His house was badly damaged by the fire. It only affected one floor but it’s going to take 6 months to fix. He hopes to be back in by Christmas. He said that it happened so fast and he just had to rush to get his family out. Then he realised he’d left some keys inside and dashed back in to get them. He said the smoke was crippling. It was so debilitating, he could do nothing else except grab the keys and struggle back out.
Psalm 86:7
When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
