heatwave

une canicule

l'air frais du dehors le matin
morning cool air from outside

 
on a commencé à dormir ici, mais il faisait trop chaud
we started sleeping here, but it was too hot

alors, on a mis notre matelas dans le salon pour deux nuits
then, we put our mattress in the living room for two nights

mais, il y avait un problème...les fours de la boulangerie sont en-dessous
but, there was a little problem...the bakery ovens are underneath

enfin, la troisième nuit, on a très bien dormi sur le lit mezzanine
finally, the third night, we slept very well on the loft bed

je ne peux pas me plaindre
notre apartement est une grande bénédiction
en ce moment, il fait juste vraiment chaud

i can't complain
our apartment is a huge blessing
at the moment, it's just really hot

merci Jésus pour la mer, les douches froides et pour les ventilateurs !
thank You Jesus for the sea, cold showers and for fans !

we are 9 hours ahead of Pacific coast time, so do the math... (it will be late)
i get to lead worship for the women's sessions that start around 11:15am

time table from europe time to CA/WA time
9:30am = 12:30am (late)
11:15am = 2:15am (later - ha!)
7pm = 10am (this one might be possible)
