(Ba is read later!), So that you can spend Arvi a little 'more time ... none of this, only some "favorable coincidence" and a bit' of good will. That's it. "September and it's time to go ... RESTART." To be honest we have not ever stop you ... our "pastoral year" knows no pause, especially in summer, the more propitious time to propose what and activities and initiatives oratory impossible to achieve dur before the long winter. Same goes for the world of work. We say that the summer months do not differ much from others, apart from the change of season, of course. As early as September 1 schools are taken (this are blessed with a healthy break ... all the guys in this world), we give news later-starting school and everything takes a different rhythm. I said before, many are st ati the events of the month, as always list the most significant and important for other I will confine myself to a little nod or news. But now you know, even in their brief, "narrate" the nos of history that tell the heart and the amazement of those who, day after day, he sees this "creature" will grow and take the first steps, say the first words, of course ... and also take away a few hours of sleep, as do all children in the early years (and not only) of their lives. This new page wants to be, very simply, the ultimate test of what we think, express e are and do. But we enter the credit for knowing facts, events, faces, people who have handled this last September Ukrainian.
