Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day I did half a day’s work, had an important meeting, visited friends, welcomed guests and watched cricket!
And that’s it! I could end the blog here, but I’d better unpack it a little. The important meeting was work related and would affect my income for the year ahead. It went well and I should be employed for the next 12 months. I’m grateful for the work that God provides. I enjoy it, find satisfaction in it and am appreciated for it. This is a gift from God.
I went to Riana’s for tea for a couple of hours, stopped at the shops and then zipped home to put finishing touches in the Seaview Apartment. I have childhood friends arrive – they grew up in the Eastern Cape I think. One still lives in PE and the other in Johannesburg. They met in Cape Town for the weekend before they both fly back to Joburg on Sunday and they are staying at hour place for the weekend. They are a breath of fresh air. They were so enthusiastic about everything & were a joy to have.
Now, the cricket is what has grabbed our attention today. Flip, South Africa were chugging along doing their best when suddenly Klaasen full on got his eye in, started seeing the cricket ball like it was a soccer ball and started hitting the ball all over the park!
174 off 83 balls – out on the last ball and the home team had rushed to an incredible 416/5. As I write, it looks like this.
What makes us so happy is that we won the last game and that was after losing 5 cricket games against Australia. Whitewashed in the T20, we lost 3-0 and then the first 2 of this ODI series of 5. This is game 4 and if we win this one, we’ll be even on 2-2 with one to play.
One other thing that happened today – the cats were back to fighting! Claw’d with Raiku’s head in a firm paw grip
It was good to see them completely back to normal.
Back to watch the game.
Psalm 148:13
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
