Thursday
Today was the day..
…that the mist this morning was ‘pea soup’! It was so thick for so long that no swim was possible. Even at around 9am I was remarking on how cold the water would be due to the thick cloud that had spread across the valley.
So I did 8 hours work. The best thing is I get all my interviews done by Thursday. I did 9 this week and at 4pm today when I wrapped up the last one, I got excited by the prospect of the weekend ahead. It’s been a busy work week but the weekend beckons.
The laundry and moving plans went to schedule. All the washing was done and David moved up to Julian’s floor for the next 5 nights. Ruth came and cleaned Julian’s level and the Little Lookout and changed the linen in the loft. This means that both the entire cottage and the Little Lookout are ready. One of the fun things of the Little Lookout is that it is on instant book and guests can book and check in up to 9pm on any day. So, like last night, I could get a booking at 6pm and the guest arrive at 6.01pm. Tonight, unlike last night, we are ready! Airbnb has a feature where you can change the booking, so last night I changed the unexpected guest’s booking from the Little Lookout to the Sea-View apartment – he got a free upgrade, which he didn’t mind!
David, not wanting to be an inconvenience, happily moved up to Julian’s floor, but didn’t give any thought to the implications. When he went up there, he quickly saw he is in for a treat. I don’t have recent photos of the view from up there. These are from the top floor balcony before the house was finished.
He’s just a little bit higher than we are. Quite spectacular.
The end of a good hard working day.
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
