Weekend

Faint super moon at dawn

The super moon is waning and last night was cloudy as well ... but the moon was bright enough to light up the City. It was quite cold ... 10 degrees at lowest during the night. And there was quite a wind blowing as well. At dawn the sun was back up bright as summer ... but the super moon was at the opposite end of the City ... still quite visible.

Being Friday night last night, muslims were out and about. Cars and motorbikes roaring. The curfew is just a word. It was never implemented. But once the sun rises and the curfew is over, police come back into the streets and stand around ... maybe stopping a couple of people or cars.

While the rest of Israel is opening up ... we're still under tight lockdown in the house because the older guys are afraid of dying. Well they ewre the ones laughing and scoffing 3 months back that the whole pandemic is an exaggeration and that it's only a simple flu. Now they're scared and are locking everyone else indoors. The Archbishop and the Custos came to speak to us and said there's no need for such extreme measures ... but the oldies are not moving one inch.
