Not a normal Sunday
We had a little adventure today. Just as we got out of the door to go to church, we realised that we had both forgotten our keys - with the better weather now we had both changed coats and left the keys in the other one. So we were locked out of our house, and also out of the garage so there was no car or stroller either. Fortunately we were able to call on the help of a friend from church who lives nearby, and who was not going to the service since both he and his wife were sick. So Pinuccia and Stefania were able to stay at his house and talk with the wife, whilst he and I got the fire brigade to come. Pinuccia always opens a few doors and windows to air the house, but today of all days she didn’t. However the door on to the balcony from my office doesn’t shut properly, so to cut a long story short the firemen climbed up two floors to our balcony and then pushed the door open, without having to break down any doors or smash any windows. And by noon we were all back in the house, ready for the guests that we had invited to lunch. It was a good way to meet the neighbours, there hasn’t been so much excitement in our cul-de-sac for a long time and they all came out to ask what was happening.
