(This week it’s my turn to organize an outing with the residents of the building because the city council has published the cultural calendar with free activities. I have suggested going to a concert that takes place on Saturday afternoon and then going out for a drink, but without staying out too late. I will be the host and I have already booked a table near the venue in case we feel like going out for drinks. Even so, I’m asking for confirmation today because at the last family get-together there was a lot of gossip and then half of them didn’t show up. I’m also going to make a video call with my sister to decide what little gift we’re bringing to the celebration on Sunday.)
