Rain in August!

The weather has changed ... very cool in the nights and morning. A cool breeze blowing throughout the day. It actually rained yesterday up in the north! http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/rain-falls-in-central-israel-in-surprise-summer-shower-1.378543  A very nice respite from the heat. But the social heat is just turning up - Confrontation between authorities and tent protesters ... some predict violence is round the corner. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/tent-cities-are-not-illegal-outposts-1.378486 and the Health infrastructure falls apart as the medical strike hits public. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/strike-brings-israel-s-public-health-system-to-a-standstill-1.378529  The doctors and medical workers are on general strike today  http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/rain-falls-in-central-israel-in-surprise-summer-shower-1.378543

Am resting in the hope of ridding the gastro-intestinal infection. The hernia of course hurts ... but it'll take time to see what can be done.
