Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we did our first so called training walk – with the intention of getting fit enough to walk miles and miles through Italy. We parked outside BI in Kalk Bay and set off up the path next to Olympia. Did you know Kalk Bay has a vineyard? I didn’t…but there it is…
Up the stairs to Boyes Drive..it brought us out at Ponder Rd. 
We did ponder why we need to go to Italy when we have views like this…
And as we walked, they just got better and better…
Over the hill, past the shark spotter hut and all of Muizenberg lies below…
We took the obligatory selfy…
Down Camp Rd stairs, past CCFm, across the railway line – Muizenberg!
Then it was along the Muizenberg – St James path…
Which is as picturesque as ever… 
At St James, we sat on the rocks and put our feet in the water to cool off…
St James Beach was cooking!
An easy walk from St James to Kalk Bay, past the harbour…
And back to the car…
It really was a lovely 2 hours – walked just over 8km which was enough on this sunny day.
In the afternoon, I ensured the cottage was ready for returning guests. The guest in the cottage – a really nice guy named Emir – moved up to the Little Lookout. I found out he plays chess and the guitar, albeit both as a ‘junior’ so I forwarded his number to David and David’s number to him. They connected and Emir came up to visit David this afternoon. Cut from similar cloth & the same age.
One way to get to know the neighbours is to ask if anyone has something to lend you. I was looking for a new puzzle, so I asked our street NHW chat group if anyone had a 1000 piece puzzle to lend me. A lady named Cheryl said she does. I went to pick them up today (she had 2) and we had a chat. Lovely lady. The puzzle is going to be a fun one. It’s so detailed. It’s called Colourful Rainbow.
I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Psalm 18:28
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
