Good morning everyone from a 'still autumn' Betty's Bay. After loads of weather warnings about a cold front, we had one day of lovely rain and that was it, somehow the cold front skipped over us and is battering a still recovering Natal. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected in Natal, stay safe.
Well, it was an interesting but not very productive week for me although Hubby is making good progress on the deck, every day it changes a little more and starts looking more like a room. Yesterday he vacuumed all the wood dust and dirt etc and I have put out our camping chairs for the time being, so that we can start utilising the space. His Horology work continues unabated including the odd item like a barometer or strange vintage kitchen clocks. He had a gardener here on Friday which was quite a business. At the end of the day it took three car loads (my car with the seats removed) full of garden branches and bags of grass, what a difference. I'm a bit nervous of getting into the car now because of what kreepy kraulys might have been left behind 🌿🦖🦂🕷️🐛🦗🐌🐊
On Wednesday I had my appointment with the Plastic Surgeon. This after having a bit of an emotional melt down last Sunday night when we changed dressings. Nothing was how I expected it and it was all just too much. Anyway, on Wednesday he was happy with the healing process although we are keeping an eye on two different areas where I had problems previouslyl with stitches not sealing the skin. They took all the stitches out and bar any issues I will only see him in three months. He answered all my questions and thankfully understood how I was feeling, saying that it is really early days and things are going to change literally week to week. I am still trying to find a solution to the compression bra cutting into me, and am currently trying two strips of sheepskin. On Tuesday evening I received a call from a dear friend of mine from Cradock, where we used to live, she is in CT and we
made arrangements to visit on Thursday. Oh my word this was such a timely visit and heart filling time. She arrived after 10 am and we visited the WHOLE day, just what my soul needed. Thank you W for taking the time and for such a special time and all the laughs, have a safe trip back home.
The family are all well, Princess is writing her mid year exams. We were saying yesterday at how crazy the school schedule is currently, there is no such thing as breathing space. BabyBear was in JHB for the week for business and everyone else was heads down and working hard. I am so proud of you all family and love each one of you. Zeepha is loving the freedom of going out onto the deck and spends most of her day following the sun around or peeping at us through the open window. I can just imagine once the benches are in she will just slide along with the sunbeams hehe.
As we go into this new week folks, I wish you peace and good health. May you be blessed going in and going out in all that you do. Stay safe and healthy. With love from BB, Ciao Ciao.
