The Garden of Remembrance

Sunday

Today was the day….

I managed to get a lovely walk in, even though I got slightly damp on my return. And my implant crown popped off.

The day dawned overcast with the threat of rain, which in due course, arrived. Armed with my jacked and umbrella, I took a solo walk to the shops. The cat walk was quiet…

The cormorants were preening…

After a little shopping, I came home the mountain route, passing, as I always do, the Fish Hoek Garden of Remembrance. Usually, this is a place for drug dealers and skollies, but the gardening club of Fish Hoek is trying to change that. For the first time, I felt safe enough to actually walk through it. That’s because there were a couple of members of the club busy working in it. It’s looking so much better, although they did say it was 2 steps forward and one step back.

The rain started to fall and I walked hidden deep under my umbrella. It worked well for protecting my head, but what I didn’t expect was the rain was coming from the south-east, so I walked home into it. The front of my jeans got damp but it was a refreshing walk and was worth the effort.

This afternoon, I bit into some food and the crown on my implant – right incisor popped off. I’ve sent a message to my cosmetic dentist. I thought it would last longer than 17 months. Anyway, he’s reasonable and will probably fit me in. The stress I feel over this event, on a scale of 1-10 is literally 1. If I had a little chewing gum, I could possibly stick it back in for my meetings tomorrow. In fact, I’ve just put the crown in my retainer and I can have my appointments tomorrow with my retainer in. Sorted…for now.

Now off to watch the tennis.

Psalm 90:2

Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

The best is yet to come!

We are only passing through.

Keep the (toothy) smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Helga xx 🙂
