Still in Knysna and this morning it’s foggy. It drizzles a bit and it is cool and that is very good for our sleep. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Monday we made a visit to the hospital in George for a check-up of Lisa’s father. It was mostly a time consuming visit. We were there at 9 o’clock in the morning and drove away at half past two in the afternoon and all that for a consultation of less than 10 minutes. This is in law\u2019s do almost every month where you have to consider that George is an hour and a half away from Dysselsdorp and that they depend on family and friends to bring them there. It is the same everywhere in the world!\u00a0 My father-in-law decided to continue the treatment closer to home, in Oudtshoorn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The rest of the week we did very little. Every day Lisa walked with Tamara (and sometimes with me) to the village for groceries. My in-laws enjoyed the tranquillity here and the beautiful view over the bay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We brought them home on Friday but they come back in 2 weeks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This place here brings me many new insights, in myself. Because there are few obligations, boredom and how to experience it is something that we, westerners, have forgotten. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being bored is fantastic, really, although it takes some time before you can enjoy it. How good being bored is, I noticed last week once again when there were some issues, partly business, partly private. I noticed that those issues where the emotional charge was significant, a violent bodily reaction resulting in bad sleep and headache occurred. Now I will never be able to banish this type of business from my life, but I can of course adapt the way I am dealing with it. As my sister Hanneke has said to me many times, I don’t have to catch every ball. I may well drop a few….. and maybe a whole bunch!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An enjoyable part of the situation in which Lisa and I are at the moment is that a whole lot of things no longer are compulsory but become voluntary. The fact that we have made choices and still make for a certain way of living and do not let us prescribe what ‘ must or can ‘ give us freedom, both financially, physically and spiritually. It gives us the space to enjoy and be extremely proud of our fantastic children and grandchild (and son-in-law!) who lead their lives as they wish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hold on to it now!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday evening I’m going to pick up Tom in Cape Town, a ride of about 7 hours (480 km). Wednesday, he may drive me to Knysna because he is allowed to drive from the insurance company (double deductible, though). I hear him already complaining about the speed….\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
