We’ve got a nice bit of arctic air coming down on us. It’s clear and sunny during the day, but gets rather cold at night.
The cold air dropped in on us around Friday. That evening we went over to the Lutheran pastor’s home for a potluck with a few of the other pastors and families. A Lutheran couple from Tanzania is visiting for the month, so that was one of the reasons for the potluck. The other was that the current Lutheran pastor, an interim that has been here for 2 years, will be leaving us at the end of the year. We had a nice time with good food and interesting stories of life in Tanzania.
Last evening we went to see the local dance studio perform their version of Peter Pan and Wendy. Like the Nutcracker from last year, this was less about perfection and much more about entertainment. The performance wasn’t bad in any way. It’s just that when quite a number of the performers are toddlers and preschoolers, well, it’s a lot more entertaining than a professional production. In many ways, I think I’d rather watch our version than one that is “perfect.”
Anyway the cold really hit last night. Our electric space heaters were finally overcome and the oil furnaces had to be used to bring up the indoor temperature. I have to purchase another one or two: one to place down in the basement, and another to carry around to some of the far-flung rooms.
The cold is forecast to stay around for the week at least, and perhaps another one after this. There isn’t much of snow forecast, so at least I probably won’t have to shovel… :)
