Trouble in Paradise



No, not really trouble. Just today, after a few weeks of really great weather, the first real 'beasterly easterly' - the east coast onshore wind arrived. Made the sea look ugly, and not as pleasant to be outside. Of course, nothing like the Cape's south-easter, which can blow for a week or more, this one usually drops overnight, and stops after a day or three, or suddenly - in the space of an hour, switches to the SW offshore. Had a good day anyway - starting with a men's breakfast at the church, and helped some friends move house.



Cold front being delivered fresh from Cape Town, arriving monday, Women's Day. Hope it's cold, looking forward to a late sleep-in. Haven't done that here yet with builders normally here early, or fish to catch, tiles/fittings to choose or whatever else seems to keep us busy. Pretty active with church things too!



Other than playfully grumbling over today's weather, everything's really good - the building going great, expect to finish the end of Sept!!


Some photos, gotta snap them quickly, before it's all over!

The 'P.S. photo'. Awoke this morning (Sunday) to this sunrise, with a hot berg wind, and has switched to a cool SW, as the front pulls in.

  2. What is happening, the building is going fast. I see priorities first, the slab for the braai before the roof height is reached.

    Do need a place to cook the fish and enjoy God's blessing.

    Excited just seeing the progress.
