Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we went swimming for the first time in a while. It was wonderful and even though the water was cold, it felt so good! We remembered why we got so addicted to going to the beach so often. We got home and I worked the day. In between I prepared a braai without the fire for dinner tonight. We had John &Avril and David & Anna come for dinner. It has been a stunning day in Cape Town, with very little wind. To add to the pleasure, there has been whale activity along our shore all day long. This evening, there are an abundance of whales. We’ve never seen anything like this….whales in the middle of the surf-skiers while their weekly time trial was on..Red arrow points to the whale…
We spent a lot of time watching them. It was quite a sight as at one stage there were at least 3 or 4 of them.
John and Avril enjoying the perfect evening…
We had dinner and spent more time on the balcony. Even after dark, the whales were heard to be grunting and blowing. It was quite an experience to hear them.
The evening ended with the great nougat challenge. Mike had David introduce it…
And then out came the colour coded nougat.
Mike had bought 4 different types of nougat ranging in price. We had to taste and choose which we thought would be the most expensive. It was such a fun exercise. I chose the wrong one completely! We need to play that game again.
It’s been a memorable evening. As I wrap this up, I have the bedroom door open and can still hear the whales snorting. I hope they are still around tomorrow.
Weekend and tomorrow Julian arrives. And today is Valerie Gail’s birthday. Happy birthday!
Jeremiah 17:7
Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
