Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today is your Mom’s birthday! I’m sure you had a good time with her, eating cake and celebrating. It was good to see you on the video call today.
We began the day by going to the beach. The sea tricked us. The north wind has been blowing as we are expecting rain tomorrow. The wind has been from the north for a few days and when that happens, the water goes from a lovely 18C to a chilly 15C. I braced myself. It looked cold.
But when I got in, I was in for a lovely surprise. It was as warm and soft, and, when I swam out to the barrel, it was even warmer. I swam up and down a number of times and was in for 40 minutes. The water in places, out at the barrel must have been about 20C. It was amazing.
Fish Hoek water at its best.
There were a number of things to do when we got home. We needed to open the Loft for the new guests and I had a truck-load of work. Once the guests were in, I could focus on work, although I did take a break to go look at the top plot. Courage has done such a lot of excavation…
Mike and Courage…
Looking down the stairs…
The entry courtyard with the vine going mad…
It was a lovely day. Now the clouds are rolling in and tomorrow we should get some rain.
A very productive day today.
1 John 4:7
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
