Recovering

Nostalgia for the Ivrea convent chapel

I slept relatively well last night. The pain got quite bad at midnight ... and I realised the effects of the painkillers wear off after 8 hours so I'm timing myself every 7 hours to take them so there will be no window for the effects to wear off.

Drinking cold soup for breakfast is not a nice thing. My stomach hurts from hunger ... and the cold soup makes the stomach even worse. Then there's yoghurt ... which makes me have diarrhoea. But there's nothing else I can eat so that's the only choice I have. I am hungry and feeling very faint. Anyway I am nauseous all the time so eating makes me feel sick ... though I'm so hungry all the time. What a dreadful struggle ...hungry to eat but nauseous when eating.

... And in the national news, the Palestinian Authorities have reiterated  the ban for arabs to sell property to jewish Israelis. This is the ongoing But it won't work ... money is more attractive and I believe in the next 20 yrs one quarter of area properties in East Jerusalem will be sold to jews.  https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/herods-family

It's a dreadful prospect that has occurred in many other towns and villages.  https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/syria/syrian-refugees-face-starvation-as-russia-and-assad-try-to-force-u-s-out-1.6550517
