Storm

Storm over the Mt. of Olives

What a storm we had last night ... winds over 100 km per hour, strong cold rain all night. It was something we all wanted ... but still people were not prepared or did not heed warnings. 20 students died in flash floods when they went to the desert for an excursion in Jordan. Israeli and Jordanian armies jointly searched for bodies in the Dead Sea. In Israel in the Negev Desert a bedouin toddler was drowned by flash floods. Let's hope no more tragedies will take place as people lear to be more cautious during this raining season.

Storm over the city

I stayed mainly at home because of the weather. My face is less swollen but the pain is bad. I think too much anesthesia has gone into my head ... 3 weeks with a total of 15 injections. My brain is messed up. And twice I was very dizzy and almost fainted .... it's the balance problem in the ear. For brunch I ate some rice and boiled veggies ... the doc joked that I shouldn't eat for 2 weeks so I can lose a few kgs. I guess I should ... but already these 3 weeks after the 1st operation even students have noted that I lost weight.

Some good news ... the Gaza govt. and Israel have reached an agreement brokered by Egypt to halt the violence at the border. Let's hope this ceasefire will hold so people can get their lives together.  https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-5380207,00.html?fbclid=IwAR1ndbBbdpOxKOjzdIr_GZMJcaGQG-_g4mTRVPiwNHSgWnovGr7IAIPtpw0

Well for sure the storm will take the energy out of this violence. You can't burn tires and fly incendiary balloons in this rain. Mother Nature has a way to deal with us when we can't handle ourselves.
