Lazy Saturday
We got home last night at 1 AM. We went over to the pastor’s house for dinner at 7; the Hays were invited as well as another young married couple, Andrew and Kay. We had great Indian food complete with hors d’oeuvres, salad (without dressing, that’s how it’s done here), and chickpea curry/korma chicken with rice and fabulous naan bread. We had ice cream and lime pie for dessert–quite a feast. I couldn’t believe we stayed so long and hope we didn’t impose on their hospitality. We talked a bit about how we can get involved there, where the church is going, and trends in evangelical churches in Scotland and in America. We laughed a lot.
So we slept in until about noon; it was glorious and we haven’t done that in a long time! We’ve been reading, doing laundry and ventured out of our flat just about 30 minutes ago to get a few groceries at our local co-op. In a few hours we’re going over to the Hays for dinner. We haven’t had to cook all weekend (or correspondingly, had to do dishes either). I’ve finished (I use that term loosely, as I haven’t had time to read every word) three of the seven biographies that I’m reviewing (Mussolini, Hitler & Churchill, and Hutton). So far, I’m voting for the Hitler and Churchill: Secrets of Leadership biography.
