Full moon

Full moon over Damascus Gate

The sudden and extreme heatwave has caused dozens of forest fires. Hundreds of families have been evacuated and fire-fighters are working overtime to contain the blaze. The heat was really extreme yesterday ... leaves on trees and plants have turned brown and withered just because the hot dry winds kept blowing on them. All the daisies have dried up. And there is sand and dust everywhere. However when the sun set at 8pm, a very cool wind blew instead. And it blew all night ... string and chilly. The weather just changed in half an hour .... a drop of 10 degrees. Now tell me this is not climate change. Anyway this morning it continued to be chilly and it was like there was no heatwave at all yesterday. It felt like Spring. http://www.virtualjerusalem.com/news.php?Itemid=29263&fbclid=IwAR0q_T0WWi8XZN4zZ_eyVteKgr_-Ujc-Pyzrx51sDMUZUGc6d8NDoQ-MghU

Full moon

And there's this great big full moon in the sky these few nights. So bright and shining through my window, I don't need to turn on the lights. Because of the cool evening, lots of people came outdoors to see the moon. I went out to the office at 8pm to avoid the heat and the sight was really amazing.

This morning while opening the fridge, another vein burst in my thumb. It's getting bad. Mind you I've stopped using ventolin and prednisone for over a year and a half now. And my asthma is at a minimum. But the side effects of the past years of cortisone treatments are causing osteoporosis and thin veins. Still I have lots of heavy stuff to lift and carry. Slinging them over my shoulder is not an option as I have spondylosis on C4 and C5. What a life.

Just met the superior of Jaffa and he asked why am I not going there to rest .... good question. He insisted I go there to next week ... and I hope so too. But the library cleaning is taking alot of time.
