Graeme and I woke with happy hearts this morning, knowing that our younger son, Arthur, would soon be part of our lives again. At 7.50am the RMS hooter sounded, announcing that the anchor had been dropped. 
We started dressing and getting ready to go down to the wharf. At about 9.15 am Arthur arrived at the customs shed. With happy hearts we went to the coffee shop to have breakfast. Art was feeling "land sick" and only had something to drink. (His first 2 days at sea were plagued by sea sickness, and now that he was on land, the queeziness had set in again) A photo of him adjusting his glasses.

Our lounge once again looked like it did when we first arrived. Arthur had come prepared - lots of good books, CD's and DVD's. (The photo is a bit blurred, but it gives a general idea).
We ended the day by attending the sandy Bay Bible study and then the Blue Hill one.
We are so very happy for you all!
ReplyDeleteYay, we rejoice with you at Arthur's arrival - I can imagine how the dynamic of your household is so different now from those early days seven months ago!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your Arthur is there with you.
ReplyDeleteTo catch you up on what is going on here - it is soccer soccer soccer. South Africa is a whole different place. I can't believe how the whole atmosphere has changed to one of celebration.
We attended a match - will send you photos if I can. It was a surprise to me that I really enjoyed it. Really caught the vibe (or the "gees" as they are calling it here. Don't know what it means yet. But the word to use if you want to say "lekker" is now "Ayoba".
So much for my nonsense - I have just had to run and catch the curry that I had turned on high for a few minutes about 10 minutes ago - just in time :)
