HERE WE ARE ! ! ! Sunday 18 May

Sorry for the silence! It's not as if we haven't been working! Sometimes I just get blogged out! Many wonderful things are happening here, especially concerning friendships we are making. Roger and I are thoroughly enjoying being involved in the English speaking club 'Centrepoint' in Basel and tomorrow we will be doing volunteer training so we can help on the desk every so often. Centrepoint has lost a few volunteer's of late so were crying out for people to become involved, especially during the summer months when many people go on holidays.

It is Roger's Birthday tomorrow. HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY MY DARLING ! ! !

We will be leading a hike from Schopfheim to Rheinfelden, about 13 km's. We have called it as 'Mystery Walk' as we haven't done it before and don't really know what the difficulty of the walk will be. Should be a good turn out.

After our volunteer training we will meet with some young ladies who own a Cafe in Basel. We want to talk to them about using the Cafe for future Mosaic events.

Roger had his first of four Choir Concerts at 5pm today (Sunday) in Basel. It was a great concert and thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended, though the attendance was disappointing. Next one is Tuesday night and then at 4pm the next 2 Sunday's, in the open air (so we are hoping for good weather).

We are both trying to catch up with lots of friends this week. My diary is full and I can't possibly squeeze another person in.

We had a Mosaic Gathering last Wednesday. Derek, David, Amy and Lauren came from Zurich. It was held at Nellie Nashorn in Loerrach. A great cultural venue on a balmy night. Derek is such a great encourager of us and what we are trying to do. He's an awesome guy, as is his family.
