On this day

We woke up early this morning and went for a walk on the beach before the sun was up.  We had the entire Blaauwberg beach to ourselves as the rising sun coloured the lapping waves in hues of blue and purple oriental silk.  We saw two dead chickens, a discarded packet of half full Peter Stuyvesand Blue Cigarettes, an agile seal playing in the surf and a line of birds flying a perfect formation into the new day.  We had a R20 breakfast at Pakalolo's while Schalk entertained us with his endless portfolio of wildly entertaining stories of his life.  My favourite of this morning was the Wellington Wild Boar hunt.


Tinus is checking into the Vergelegen Medi Clinic in Somerset West this afternoon at 2 pm.  The operation will be at 5 pm.  The doctor told Tinus to expect to spend two days in ICU and after that two weeks in hospital. We're leaving now.


Thank you, thank you, thank you, all of you, for everything, but above all for the love.  Please keep the candles burning, the prayers flying and the healing energy flowing.
