Rain in the New Year.

If you're in Malta and planning to go out on the town to celebrate the New Year, the Meteorological Office suggests that you take an umbrella.

Me, I will be in Church for our Watchnight Service :-) We'll start at around 8:30pm with a potluck supper (I think I'll make some kind of dessert, yum!) and then have a little service, and the kiddies are going to do their sign-language/streamers/water pistols/torches thingy again, and then we'll pray in the New Year between 11:45 and 12:15 or thereabouts.

My favourite part is at midnight, because inside the church it's completely quiet except for whoever happens to be praying at the time, while we can hear all kinds of noises from outside - people letting off fireworks and the ships in the harbour tooting their horns! It's really cool. Then when the pastor closes the prayer time, we all get up and start wishing everyone a happy New Year.

Should be fun! (and it's inside out of the rain, and it's free, and you have an open bar (soft drinks only of course, heheheheh)).
