Tuesday
Today was the day…
I saw the surgeon for the (almost) last time. We had a good chat. He’s very happy with me and only would like to see me once my braces come off in (hopefully not more than) 6 months time. I got a photo of us. Got to smile with your eyes. Prof Johan Reyneke. He did a great job.
On the way home, I stopped off at Echo. The stairs are being made…
This is underneath them which will great storage…
I took photos of my bedroom from all angles. This is looking toward the Juliet balcony…
This is taken from the Juliet balcony looking down the passage…my bathroom is behind the wall – you can see the water pipes for the shower.
This is looking from the bedroom into the lounge. In doorway will be large solid double doors…we’ll probably have them open most of the time.
This is my study nook…
This whole room area is getting ready for paint. I just love my floor. It looks so like wood but it’s tile. The benefits are that’s it is so tough, water resistant and much less expensive than real wood. The compromise is it doesn’t smell like wood. I love it.
When painting gets done, it’s going to really start looking like it’s nearing completion.
I came home and got stuck straight into work. By the time I’d finished Mike was home. Dinner is done and I am now really cold. The sunny spell we have enjoyed for the last three weeks is over. Yesterday and today there have been a few showers and now cooler weather has set in.
I was so excited to see the Covid-19 numbers dropping. We had the lowest number of new cases since mid June.

Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
