1st Sunday of Advent

Israel today punishes Palestine for getting the UN vote as a non-state member. It confiscated millions of dollars designated for Palestine donated by foreign countries and is building 4000 houses in settlements in Palestine. And of course America will tacitly nod its agreement.

The weather held up today. Everyone said it was beautiful. It was sunny and yet cool. About 23 degrees. But Tuesday will see a tremendous thunderstorm that may last for 4 days. This time I'm going to be very careful and not get caught in it. Last week's fever and pain is a lesson enough.

Little Rocky looks good

Being such a lovely day I went to see Rocky in his new home. He's alot thinner but still very happy. He has a large garden to run around, lots of cats to chase and is getting used to his new food. And it's time for his jabs. I hear he's very well behaved and the doctor likes him. He's so cute and friendly, we're afraid he might get stolen. He ran away twice and Fahdi his new owner was witless searching for him. As the weather gets chilly in the nights, Rocky is kept indoors. Also during the day when it rains. He's well behaved and sleeps in his bed all day and night when he's indoors. He's still a little dog - 7 months old.

Well it's the 1st Sunday of Advent. Liturgical colours change to purple. Readings go back to the Old Testament prophecies. Time for self-evaluation and introspection.
