having fun. enjoying beauty

I've been realising lately that I don't take much time out to have fun- in fact, I think climbing Mount Mulanje (which I haven't gotten around to blogging about yet) was the first 'fun thing that I didn't have to justify' that I've done since holidays in Namibia in December. Work is important, but so is fun. So yesterday, my Mulanje climbing buddy called and asked if I'd like to climb a hill nearby with her boys in the afternoon? And instead of saying- 'I'd love to, but actually I've got 3 overdue reports to work on and I haven't reconciled my August petty cash' I said 'sounds great'.

So off we went. It was SO much fun! here are some pics.

Intrepid adventurers through the burnt scrub.

View of the Catholic complex below. Somehow it jsut doesnt fit visually with the surroundings...
I've witnessed some pretty beautiful sunsets here- but this one wins. Isn't our God amazing? So gracious not only to allow us life and relationship- but to create a world that has such moments of splendour... and give us the senses to absorb it. Sunsets are good for the soul I tell ya. that's the Shire River down there by the way.So big you wanna just reach out and grab it... and then - it doesn't finish there- you turn around and the show continues!
So anyways ...the petty cash still got done...just after dinner :) And the reports? I'm actually working on them now as I wait for Blogger to upload photos. Multi-tasking!
