24 SEPTEMBER 2011 THESSALONIKI, CELEBRATION, TRAFFICKING.
Following our Church Service on Sunday, we celebrated Maltese Charlie's birthday - an early moment, with refreshments and song! I then returned for a speedy lunch and left, with a neighbour, for Thessaloniki. There was not too much time to enjoy the beautiful seafront in the sunshine! Just as we arrived at the airport, the flight was re-scheduled and would be more than an hour late. Then, the Customs had a great interest in Sr.Lalini's case! All went well, thank God and we had a good journey back here.
On Monday evening we were invited to celebrate Charlie's Birthday with a restaurant meal, on the actual date! There were ten of us. We had a lovely evening, in spite of a severe thunderstorm outside.
Yesterday, I was meeting a solicitor, here we say advocate, with whom I work - just for a coffee. She has moved office from the city-centre to a new complex that is just beside our little Church. I was quite surprised - we descended a few flights of stairs inside, and there, UNDER the new very modern Courthouse,- was a delightful little snack restaurant! My friend has just been appointed to mentor work in the domestic violence field, so we plan a continuing contact, beginning next week.
Last evening, I was at a delightful concert - a trio that included a Korce Girl who has studied in Bucharest. She had the support of a superb violinist and double bass -both men came from Thessaloniki.
Enjoy Mercy Day toay and have a great weekend!
