Time for ... Some good news

 Greeting folks from the bottom of the continent.  Every now and then the absolute wonder of where we live kind of knows me sideways.  Here we are almost at the tip of an entire continent, Africa behind me and the South Pole in front.  Being able to watch the sea every day is of itself awe inspiring, it's moods and ever changing colours.  Underneath what we can see is an entire world carrying on with its existence and, here we are  nestled between the mountains and the deep blue sea.  I'm tired of saying winter is here, it's well past what should be the middle of winter and closer to spring and yet we really have not had a noticeable winter.  This week was mild with weak sunshine and by afternoon a mist creeping over the mountains and down to the sea. It was beautiful even though not cold. 

After all the running around of the last month I finally saw my Oncologist and was given the best news I could receive "there is no cancer present".  Thank You Father God for my health and all the provision and ways He has shown Himself real just in the last year alone.   There are 'minor' things to be addressed but I am cancer free.  Having said that the last month's busyness caught up with me with a vengeance and I have been in an increased Fibro flare which means I accomplished nothing on my list of 'to do's' .  I tackled one task a day to keep up to date and will pace myself through the balance.

On Friday Hubby stocked up on firewood hehe, in anticipation of some cold weather and also successfully resurrected our lawnmower.  It had rusted to the point of being unusable and he hAd been to a store to try and find the chassis of a similar one, our motor still works perfectly.  They had nothing and,  on the way home I had the bright idea of asking on our local What's App group if anyone had a lawnmower that they weren't using or the motor was not working.  Within minutes a chap replied that he had one and we could have it for R100, so off went Hubby to collect it.  Apparently he had bought it for R100 but the motor would not start.  We got a fabulous chassis which is cast aluminium (won't rust) and my clever Husband did some cutting and what have you to put our motor on the good chassis - it sits a little bit crooked but runs like a Boeing 😂.  Voila one new lawn mower to tackle our current jungle.

It was a quiet week from my side but, not a wasted one.  I have been looking after myself and maybe, just possibly I am learning that when I am not physically doing something, I am doing something for my body ... I am re-charging.  I have done a huge amount of reading and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. There is a little voice in my head constantly reminding me of what needs to be done,  I am only now slowly coming to accept that the world won't come to a standstill if I don't have everything done today.

Having said that I am going to end off for this week.  Thank you for your continued readership and support.  I wish you all a wonderful week. Stay safe and healthy folks.  Ciao Ciao.

Some Misty mountains.

One retired  and one revived lawnmower.
