Granny’s Friday Fathomings

Hello All.

On my walk,last evening, I looked inwards.
Not into my mind you understand.
That is a bit too cluttered.
Inland i.e. away from the beach.
For the first time I really took notice of the housing estate nearby.

These are multimillion rand homes.
They are huge.
They have spectacular views.
I counted eight of them all closed up.
Holiday homes for the rich and famous.
Eight from where I was standing on the beach.
There are probably loads more of them.

What do their other homes look like?
They must be incredibly wealthy.
Or hugely in debt.
But it is not the value so much.
It is having a stunning home like this and visiting it once or twice a year.
Maybe.
Are they living in the ratrace of Johannesburg, fighting to make more and more money?
How much money is enough?
Do they plan to retire down here?
Washed out and braindead.
Sigh.

In other, not important news, it is my middle grandchild’s birthday today.
I had to work it out.
He is,indeed, the middle one.
There are three older and three younger.
He is 17 today.
That is the downside of not being on speaking terms with his mother.
I miss him and his brother.
He DID,however, reply to my e-mail.
It made my day.
Happy birthday Josh.
Love you very much.

My boss appears to be in a very bad mood.
I am avoiding him.
It seems to be working.

I am fetching 17 year old granddaughter on the way home.
She is coming to me until Wednesday.
A dogpoop picker upper.
Yippee.
Jasmine is going to be a happy pooch.
She adores her.

OK…that’s it folks.
I have the Friday feeling.
Brain is already shutting down.

Oh wait….
