We’re looking forward to moving to our rental cottage on Wednesday where we have two bathrooms leading off our bedroom. A ‘His’ and a ‘Hers'. Very fancy and different to these past two weeks.
Since landing in Cape Town on December 3rd we have closeted ourselves away at a very nice and friendly B&B. But our quarters are small; semi self catering with a lovely outdoor patio. The bathroom doubles as a kitchen, with shower, sink, large counter-top, fridge, microwave and a cupboard full of crockery.
At least we have a separate loo!
It’s felt like a lull, this stay. Time has stood pretty still, although for Tim that has not been the case as he dashes off to “the office” every day. He writes:
“I hit the ground running once we arrived in Cape Town, as there is a huge amount of work to do to be ready for the students' arrival on January 3. My staff is in place and they are doing a great job getting the office set up. I think we'll make it!”
I stay behind sitting in the patio of our sanctuary suite thinking about dinner. Could we bear to heat up another microwave meal, or should I book at our favourite restaurant? The restaurant option has won out for the most part since there’s not much joy eating over salted and over cooked pre-packaged meals.
Roll on Wednesday. That’s about all we can think of at this stage!
Well, we do walk on the mountain on most mornings and the reason we chose to stay in the suburb of Newlands is proximity to the nearby mountain trails that take us through indigenous fynbos and forest.
The other joy has been seeing how the grandchildren have grown. And catching up with my daughter Nan, and her husband, Daniel. Here are Ayanda and Nathaniel on their school swing.
