Thursday
Today was the day…
Mike took the day off. He actually has to design the kitchen, do the cutting list for it and get the island top design ready for the fabricators. He did go to the site to do some measuring. We also went to the garden nursery and bought some more bird nectar. In the afternoon, we sat on the balcony and drank tea. 🙂
I had a good work day – just over 5 hours.
Just after 5pm, we went back to the build to see today’s progress. The main thing we noticed when we walked in the front door was this…it’s the start of the construction of the stairs. I think it must be tricky getting this right. They will be in concrete.
We had to go up there to get to Julian’s floor. The window peeps had been to put in Julian’s main balcony door…it’s looking good.
Then we had to go down again…carefully…
Werner has made great progress with the floors. Mike is taking tomorrow off as well so we can go through to CTM to choose wall and floor tiles for our bathroom.
After we visited the site, Mike and I walked up onto the mountainside and met our neighbours. They moved into the house on the Fish Hoek side a few months ago. The owner of the house lives in Germany and comes out every November. With Corona, it’s unlikely he’ll come this year, so they hope to stay on. It was nice to actually meet them. I’ve greeted them over the wall before but now we know their names.
Blog’s a bit later than usual and it’s time for me to wrap it up.

Psalm 37:23-24
The Lord directs the steps of the godly. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Helga xx 🙂
