We walked down to San Miguel for the only Eucharist of today. The level of humidy is quite high at the moment, so all forms of exertion are less than comfortable. There are many cooling fans in the church, but the noise they emit in such a resonant building reduces the audibility of the service quite a lot, and in the absence of an induction loop, this hits the hearing impaired badly. I'm thankful that a good half of the entire service is in the form of familiar set texts and hymns. The scripture readings, intercessions and sermon get lost in background noise, despite the care people take to speak right into the microphone.
We received a message from Fr Vincenzo, the new parish priest in church of Almuñecár, apologising for the timetabling mishap which has led to us having united services at San Miguel in July as well as August. It's comforting to have received a good will message. Lapses of communication do happen in a time of changeover, and are coped with.

We stopped and chatted to visitors in the bar after the service for a long while and it was quite late when we eventually sat down to lunch. As it began to cool down in the early evening, we went down to Burriana beach so Clare could enjoy a swim in the sea, followed by a drink and a tapa again at El Moreno, watching the beach slowly empty as the sun began to set.
