Thursday 13th

The violence in Libya that saw the deaths of 3 US diplomats have spread to Egypt, Yemen and even Gaza. Tomorrow Friday we expect some tension here in the Old City. Americans better stay out of the Muslim Quarter tomorrow.

Swollen like a melon

My ankles and heels are all swollen still. Cataflam has helped reduced the swell and pain but not enough. Have to stop walking ... but with the renovaitons in the library to oversee ... I doubt it. There're 2 floors in 2 buildings that need overseeing. Lots of climbing .... aaaaggghhhhh

So I'm hobbling all around the house. Moran my physiotherapist is asking to see me again but I simply don't have the time. Too much work.

The weather is changing quick. The nights get chilly. Easy to catch a cold ... so it's wrap up time.

On Sunday we start Rosh HaShana or the jewish New Year. A week later it's Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement and a week later is Succoth or Feast of Tents, ending 8 days later with Shimini Ezret and the day after, Simchat Torah. It's a whole month of feasts and most offices will be closed. Long holiday after the summer vacation.
