There is a discotech just around the corner from our house called “La Caverna” or the cave.  The cave isn’t really a very good name for it as most good caves have a roof and this discotech doesn’t.  I guess that is nice for the people who go but it isn’t very nice for those of us who live within two or three blocks because every Saturday night they play loud music until about 5am in the morning that we can hear very loudly and thus get fairly limited sleep.  A number of our neighbours have discussed putting a roof on the discotech with the owner but he doesn’t wish too as he doesn’t wish to pay for air-conditioning.  I am convinced he must be paying someone at the municipality to be getting away with keeping at least 100 people awake once a week but I guess it’s less than air-con.  I guess this is all part of living in a country that allows people to put up discotechs in the middle of residential areas.  I bought some cotton wool for my ears so got a little more sleep this week but we may have to start going away most Saturday nights.  Thankfully, Nina at least seems to sleep throught most of it.  She is a little harder to re-settle when she wakes (usually twice a night) but at least she’s not waking up more.

Despite feeling tired today was a good day.  I am trying to have a bit of a Sabbath on Sundays as a way of honouring the Creator of the Sabbath but I guess also as a way of caring for myself after the long nights.  So I do not wash or clean or cook or drink on Sundays no longer.  It’s nice.
