The end of week 22. We’re getting closer to the summer solstice. Last week it seemed to be getting warmer with hints of summer. This past week put an end to thoughts of summer: we didn’t have snow but it hailed on Friday. The temperatures didn’t get much higher than 50 F.
I was finally able to open a bank account. More about that in a later post.
The wedding season gets busy later this month, especially at Alstahaug – the medieval stone church. I had a wedding on Saturday. Beginning in late June there are 2 ceremonies each weekend.
On Sunday there were two confirmation services at Alstahaug Church: one at 11 am and the other at 1 pm. About 150 at the first service and 200 at the second. It’s amazing that the minister (Katrin Wiegmann) got through all the liturgy and blessing of each confirmand in just under 45 minutes for each service. Sverre Rattsø played alto saxophone for each service. Everything went very well.
I need to get a car, especially for this summer. With all the weddings and other services/devotions at the other churches I can’t depend on local bus (they don’t run on Sunday mornings. On weekdays there is one at 7:15 am. The next one is at 1 pm). The best solution seems to be to rent long term. Not knowing how long I’ll be here, this seems to make the most sense.
Today sunrise is at 2 am, sunset at 12:20 am. Length of day: 22 hours, 20 minutes.
