Saturday
Dear Elsie
Today when we spoke do you remember Raiku was around? He played with the ball and fish, but there was no Claw’d. And he’s still missing. I let him out at 5.30am this morning and he hasn’t been home since, which is very worrying. One of the neighbours said they saw him in the bushes across the road from them at lunchtime, but he hasn’t been up for food or water. It’s very out of character for this one to be out for so long.
I walked around the entire property and later onto the street, down the road, up the blue cottage steps, calling and looking, but no sign of him. He usually spends about an hour outside in the morning and then comes in to sleep. He buries his head in his food for a short time and then chooses a spot to sleep. Usually starting with my bed and then moving to the couch. But today there has been no sign of him. Raiku was out until about 3.30pm. Then he came in and has been in ever since, but there’s no sign of Claw’d.
Mike and David are playing chess. Every now and then David goes out on the balcony to give Claw’d a call. I’ve put his photo on the street whatsapp group, asking if anyone sees him to let me know. We are hoping he will return soon.
Meantime, for the rest of the day, we swam, I did some puzzle, read the rabbit book, had a rocking chair nap and cleaned.
The wind is howling this evening. It’s expected to be a strong south-easter throughout tomorrow and then abate on Monday.
Mark 10:43-33
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
