A week of summer
With the reduction in my activities, I will be posting less often until the end of August since there will not be as much to say. Except when number 2 is born of course. (There are two weeks from today until the due date, so we are in the “hot” period. Literally as well, as the temperatures are moving into the mid 30s. Pinuccia is suffering the heat a bit, so we take the car everywhere now, even to go to the supermarket which we used to walk to.)
It turned out that my evenings did fill up anyway during the week, with a friend coming to dinner, band practice, a final Bible study, and the annual meeting of our apartment block. I even had to postpone going to visit a friend so that I did not lose my weekly night at home with the family. This week however it is a normal summer week, with my only night out being band practice (they have a month off in August, although only about half the band is present at practices in July). The church is getting into its normal summer state as well, with less than half of the regulars in church this morning, although there were six Dutch and English tourists as well (as well as a couple of new people). It is quite likely in a few weeks’ time that there will be more tourists than church members. Since I will leading the service a few times in that period, I will probably have to do a couple of bilingual services translating myself as I go.
