Hot day

Sunrise yesterday

Life is not going to be normal now that the Delta virus is upon us. There are over a 1000 cases now in our country, and another 60+ registered in the past 6 hours. Mask wearing is compulsory indoors but the govt is reluctant to reimpose lockdown, as it is confident of the vaccination protection. I'll be staying away from work and outdoors as much as possible. It's going to be another locked in summer like last year. On one hand I can catch up with my readings and studies, but on the other I'll miss the summer activities like eating ice cream in the mall, visiting the pet shops and going to the beach in Jaffa. What a disappointment.

My blood pressure has shot up again today. 153/80. Having a headache. I'm resting at home today. Buddy and JJ are super happy as I rarely stay home with them during the day. They can't stop playing with my paper clips.

Not sure what's happening outside today ... if the clashes are continuing in Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah neighburhoods. The heat is quite oppressive ... well over 30 degrees.  Most of the flowers and plants are dead. I doubt anyone wants to fight in this heat.
