Today has been a good day – it’s been a balanced Saturday with something good around each corner.
I began the day by being first in the door at gym this morning. It was like walking through sludge I was so bleary eyed. With no food in my stomach and worse still, no caffeine flowing through my veins, I laboured 65 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the bike and 15 minutes on varying weights machines. I left the building far more energized (but starving and in desperate need of coffee).
We met Julian for breakfast at the Stag and I had my hunger pangs satisfied.
Home again and I did a bit of work before enjoying a quiet morning which included pulling out 220 weeds. :/ Truffles warmed my heart by scoffing down her watery food. She also joined me in the garden to investigate my weeding activities. This was another indication of her improved health. Her curiosity is a good sign.
At 2pm I went to Valerie-Gail’s to wish her happy birthday. I don’t see enough of her, so it was wonderful to ‘be first!’ She is a blessing.
By 3pm, I was home and Julian arrived. We went for a drive back across to Fish Hoek and went mooching over the mountain behind Echo, seeing the houses from a different perspective and imagining what our new build will be like. Mike has some wild and wonderful ideas. Unless the Lord builds the house they that build it labour in vain.
For dinner this evening we ventured back to the Galley on Fish Hoek Beach. We have not been there for some months, since the last time I had the Yellowtail I reacted badly for the first time ever and ended up looking like I’d been very evenly and very seriously sunburned. It’s very difficult for me to go to the Galley and not have the Yellowtail. It’s usually so very good. This was the view…
The fish was delicious and up to now has not had an affect.
#920 of my 1000 thanks is that I didn’t respond badly to the Yellowtail.
Yay! It means I haven’t suddenly developed an allergy to fish.
Psalm 54:7
He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
These are the days.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
