Rain and cold

 

Another walk through the
Christmas bazaar

It started raining last night and the temp dropped to 6 degrees. It was very cold. Today it continues to drizzle and remains very cold. Feels wintry and Christmassy.

The Christmas Bazaar at New Gate was alot more crowded last night. It starts at our entrance so in order to go home, I must walk through it. I bought a doughnut to eat. It was fresh and warm so I enjoyed it. Guards at the entry to the Bazaar were checking for Green Pass but since most know me, they let me through without checking. Otherwise I'd have to walk home form outside the City Walls in the rain. And the stone pavements are very slippery. I'm afraid I'd fall going downhill. In fact I've slipped several times going to work these 2 days. What a hazard going to and from work.

I've not been following the local news today so I'm not aware of what's happening around the country. All I know is that from yesterday's news, a religious school here in Jerusalem saw a group of infections which ended with the school being closed down. Infection rates are really going up high though the serious cases are not rising. Still I'm not taking any chances, so I'll be avoiding crowds, including Bethlehem. I'm not taking any risks. Better safe than sorry.
