Wintery Day in Fish Hoek

Tuesday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day that dawned with rain. I heard it gently falling and then there was a thud, meow, meow, meow as Raiku hastily came inside. He jumped on our bed and proceeded to give me multiple headbutts. He was very wet!  I needed to change my routine, so I started work and it was only this afternoon that I braved possible drizzle and headed off for a walk. I went down to the Silvermine wetlands.

And crossed the river at the stepping stones…

Elsie’s Peak from the other side of the river…

I came home via the beach. It looked ominous as if a squall would be blowing through. When I got to the beach, I got a little wet, but that was because there were sprinklers on the beach grass!

There were several dog walkers and surfers.

It was a good walk – about 6.5km.

The other thing that happened today is the funicular guy came. He struggled up the stairs. He explained to Mike what could be done and dropped a humungous total for what it would cost! Nah, we can do it for less.

Home & dinner is done. David and Mike are watching chess. It is chilly and I’m going to put my electric blanket on.

A poignant verse from David’s song found in…

2 Samuel 22:20
He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Gran xx 🙂
