Saved by a Split Second!

How a decision to stop at the petrol station nearly turned my life upside down!

I heard a loud bang as a vehicle hit the pavement on a sharp bend! The small van was spinning out of control, tyres screeching and almost flipped over. It was a case of split seconds or I would have been smack bang in his pathway!
My laidback Saturday mood was rudely broken.

I'm sure many of you have close calls when going about your daily lives.
Do we have guardian angels, or is it just fate?
I like to believe that I indeed have a guardian angel! How many times have I forgotten to look before I leap, and gasp when I stop myself just in time?

This morning's incident made me realize once again just how fragile life is, and how important it is to make the most of each day!

Nothing grand, simply spending time with precious friends or family or enjoying solitude.

I was very much in need of some alone-time, especially after a crazy holiday season with BnB guests coming and going, and friends and family popping by. I love visitors, but it can become overwhelming!

It's good to feel comfortable in your own skin, right?

It's been a blistering Saturday, with the temperature going up to 37°C here at home, and because of our humidity, the real feel was well into the 40s.

It's now after 8 at night, and although the temperature has dropped down to 28°, the house is still warm inside!

The last of our holiday guests soon returned after their outing today, and enjoyed the pool as the beaches were still overcrowded and scorching.
