It has been a long couple of days, especially today, when I spent just over six hours on my feet serving food to the hordes of visitors at my choir's main fundraising event. Essentially just a load of tables and benches set up in a playing field in the hills about our town with plenty of food and drink to keep everyone happy. It goes on for three days and it is amazing to me how it possible manages to get a more or less constant flow of people on each of the days. I've been going to back training classes for the last few months and today was one of those instances where it feels like they probably are helping, even if I almost never manage to do any of the exercises at home. I was there this morning just before ten and by the end of my shift, at four o'clock, I was tired but not really very stiff or sore. Feels like progress. I was stiffening up a bit this evening, as I sat at my computer working, but a nice long shower has sorted that out and now I think I'm just ready for bed.

| Moon shining clearly |
I did go to the birthday picnic by the river yesterday and although that
means that I'm a bit behind on the translations I'm doing, I'm glad I
went. As expected, I did have a good time and it was nice to catch up
with some people I haven't seen since April and meet new people too.
Everyone was really nice and friendly and it was all really relaxed. And
we got to watch the sun set and the moon rise over the hills as well. I
really do love living in such a beutiful place. It soothes my soul to
be able to look at the hills every day and the sky always feels somehow
bigger here than it was in Dusseldorf.
