Thursday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day the trees (finally) got cut. They were obstructing the main electricity line into our house. More than a year ago I reported it. Nothing was done. This year I reported it again, especially after the 7th April fire. The main neighbourhood watch chairlady raised it with the local counsellor and she took it up with the electricity department. Today a truck rolled up. I got a call and half an hour later the job was done.
They also cut down a massive dead bush just off our balcony.
They loaded it up and took it all away.
One big job done. After all the winter rains, there is quite a lot of trimming that needs to be done. We’ll have to have a discussion about when and who…it may be a Courage job but there is still so much of it, there will need to be a bakkie that carries off all the branches.
The wind continued to blow today, churning the sea into a milky green.
Looking in the other direction, you can see where the colour changes. I’m not sure why.
Tomorrow, the wind is forecast to drop in the morning, so we may get out for a swim. That’s the goal at any rate. This morning, I went for a 6km windy walk which got me all my exercise and steps up front.
One of the Bible verses I encounter every November on this day…words are not minced here…
Ezekiel 16:49
“’Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.”
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
