Can you believe that it has been two years ?

Good morning friends, I thought I would get an early start today on all things :) .  It is hard to believe that July is almost finished, this year just seems to be flying past, perhaps because it has been so busy.   We are all well as well as  all those in the menagerie.

Hubby dearest is busy honing a long held interest in watch repairs and watch making, luckily we have enough watches around to give him lots to work with, whilst I am continuing to churn out Afgan squares so it is quite an industrious house at the moment.  Poppet and Princess were both booked off work/school last week with Chronic Sinusitis and a tummy bug respectively, Jelly Bean also had a tummy bug, thankfully everyone is now better and back to normal.  Big Guy had to move home which is a huge thing especially as he did 90% of it all by himself, the 'fun' part was that his old apartment was two flight of stairs up and the new one six flights up so he did a monumental amount of walking. BigBear and BabyBear also had a busy week as she was in Johannesburg for work.  Our family in the UK are having a fairly active time now that the boys are on their summer holidays and even managed a day trip to the beach..

On Saturday in celebration of our eleventh wedding anniversary we decided to go through to Hermanus with the intention of seeing the whales hmmmm, after a 'brief' stop at the Mall which took two hours - Jelly Bean found a book shop and got so 'lost' in it that we decided to eat lunch at the Mall haha.  When we eventually did get down to the Old Harbour despite the whales having been there earlier, there was not even a hint of whales.  There was a Whale watching boat out at sea which also seemed to be roaming around with no success, on a positive note we did see some very cute little Dassies (Rock Rabbits) sunning themselves on the rocks above the waves.  So just for once Mother Nature disappointed me #sadface.  Yesterday we awoke to a message on our BB community group that there was a dead whale in one of our local bays, he had not washed ashore and the last I heard he had floated about 4 kilometers out to sea and the N.S.R.I. had boats out.  There was also a sighting in Betty's Bay during the week of one of the young  Cape Leopards as well as all the Porcupines that are around at the moment, all this goes to make our Village such a special place to live, it is hard to believe that we have been here two years on Wednesday, it feels much longer, there is not a day that goes by where I don't thank God for the placing us here.

As for this week ........ I wait with expectation to see what it holds for us as there are no two weeks the same.  I pray you all have a fantastic week folks, stay safe out there and don't miss the little opportunities that life throws your way to enjoy, so often we get caught up in the busyness of life that we miss the small, exquisite moments that feed our souls and spirits.

Dassies on the rocks and the beauty of the ocean.
