Yesterday Pentecost saw a flurry of events. There was our usual Status Quo celebrations but this year without the Custos as he had to rush to the Vatican for the last minute organised Prayer Summit between the presidents of Israel and Palestine with the Pope. The Custos not only represents the Holy Places in the meeting, he's also the Pope's translator from italian into hebrew and vice versa. He's very talented. Watching the video at Catholic News Service fb ... wow ... our Custos was walking on the same line as the powers that be. Says alot.

I was busy as usual ... clash of various appointments. Had to juggle and cancel some. I'm just so exhausted. This year if there's going to be any summer renovation jobs, I'm NOT going to supervise them. I'm NOT going to burn another summer vacation which I did for the past 2 years. I'm tired, exhausted ... I need to rest. And my asthma has become very very bad as well. Hardly sleeping for the past 2 weeks. Now the attacks even come during the day. And the morning nosebleeds are getting more severe. Am due for a pre-op checkup soon. Something must be done quickly or I'll choke to death one day. And with all the rushing from one work place to another, I twisted my left ankle again. It's the same old injury ... the left ankle is simply too weak to take the strain of heavy work anymore. Instead of climbing up and down the hill some 1 to 2 kms everyday for work ... I'm thinking of getting a motorbike license.
Weatherwise the heat wave is terrible. Scorching during the day but the nights get so cold. The Festival of Lights begin this Thursday. I hope my ankle will be good enough for me to walk around the City and see this.
