More rain

Curry rice lunch

 What a very cold day! It rained all night and all morning! The highest temp today was 8 degrees. Dark rain clouds however were pushed out by a bright sun .... but the cold wind continued to blow. I had the heater on the whole day. Tomorrow it's forecast to rain again.

The coastal city of Nahariya was flooded yesterday because of the rain. The river Nahariya runs through the city and it overflowed. It's so bad the mayor s calling for State aid while declaring an emergency. Strangely we haven't heard of floodings in the desert. Perhaps the lockdown has prevented people from wandering in the desert so no one knows what's happening out there.

The Sea of Galilee rose by 3.5 cm so the rain must have been quite heavy up in the north. And Mt. Hermon is snowing so that's a sure sign the temp is very low.

I've been feeling very sick this morning. No fever but was very giddy and disoriented. I thought I might have to go to hospital. I rested all morning to avoid falling and injuring myself ... and it was the right decision. Towards noon the Sisters of M. Teresa called to say they were bringing lunch over for me. It was very nice of them. They made basmati rice and chicken curry ... and that gave me back some energy. I studied for a couple of hours while Buddy and JJ accompanied me on the bed. They slept all the time. I guess the cold is making them lethargic.

Israel bombed Gaza after 2 missiles were fired into Israel. The tension in the south is not good news. The govt is dissolving and elections are due in 7 weeks time. Such tensions only cause a sense of insecurity in the public. And with the rising infection rate of corona, nobody feels safe.
