A long weekend
Today was a public holiday, which meant a long weekend. Although as usual we filled up the time, and was in one sense tiring, it was also an enjoyable and restful time with the family and friends. On Sunday there was the monthly church lunch, and when we got home we went straight out again to a fair in the town (Lavis), with a few hundred stalls selling various things. Then today friends for church came to lunch, so I could help with some computer work, we could talk about the young adults’ ministry they run, and so their son (who is a month older than Daniele) could play with our children. The other highlight was getting to sleep in twice in three days (even though for me it only meant an extra hour), so we kept the children up the previous nights to make sure that they would indeed sleep in, and so let us sleep a bit longer as well.
This week, again, there Daniele’s operation on Friday programmed, although we have to wait to see if it does happen (he has got a bit of a cold again in the last couple of days). Unfortunately tomorrow the study at Rovereto has been cancelled, with the hosts sick with a fever, which means the third week in a row we have skipped the meeting, due to sickness and work commitments. The group is struggling a bit in this period.
