Rain and cold

Rainy day

Last night it rained all night. Earlier in the day the desert storm blew in lots of sand. The sky was dreadfully overcast and yellow. I was choking and coughing on my way home. Temp. had dropped drastically and I was a little sick from the cold. I still had a fever and pain in my abdomen, so I decided to sleep very early at 7pm. That was a good decision because many others became sick due to the sudden change in weather.

This morning I had to go to work because the team from the British Library had finished their project and wanted to hand their report to me. It was raining and I trudged through the cold to get there only to find the team was not in. They'll meet me tomorrow. But it's forecast to hail tomorrow. Not looking forward to walking in the hail. Temp. continues to fall.

The municipality continues to upgrade the roads  and streets in the Old City. Some 200 million shekels are being poured into this project. It's really a good idea. Ramps are created for wheelchairs on all the staircases. Hand railings are added on all staircases as well. and the old grimy slippery paving stones are changed for new chipped stones which grip better so we don't fall in this rainy weather.  https://www.janglo.net/index.php?catid=99&fbclid=IwAR10xHUDhbD5jI5SHH7vxxbGHMj0tE8aQAU4_oObzT2nXg4PEd-BUf2E1hY&option=com_adsmanager&page=display&tid=461891

My friend Haim who took Chili home, made a short video of Chili. He was so calm I couldn't recognise him! Haim has a way with birds so I know Chili is in good hands. And Haim has many other parrots in his house so Chili will have lots of friends to play around. In fact Mr. Bird, my white ring-necked parakeet is there as well. I gave her away 3 years ago when she started laying 5 eggs ... she needed to breed and Haim's menagerie is just the right place.
