My volunteers from Milan University arrived last night. Now we have 2 years of backlog work to cover. And they're here for 7 days. I told them its 24/7 work. No less. That means I have to work with them. So I'll be extremely busy from today till the following weekend. Just thinking about it makes me tired. When minute they stepped into the library, I brought one for a meeting with the director of Cultural Heritage regarding a 2 year project. Then it was a rundown of what needs to be done. I reached home at 7pm with swollen feet, sore throat and mental exhaustion. Tomorrow begins another full day's work.

It's this kind of workload that cause me to buy Tiger Balm plaster for my neck and shoulders ... at exorbitant prices. I just checked on AliExpress. They're selling 10 pieces for 33 shekels which is US$10, hence US$1 for each. That's a lot cheaper than the US$4 a piece sold at the pharmacies. Still US$1 a piece is exorbitant ... but when you need it, you need it.
The weather was a little warm but by mid-afternoon the sky became cloudy and grey and the cold came back. I wasn't totally prepared for how cold it became and so walking home was an ordeal. Noticeable more people are out in the streets, mainly because it's Friday night. Muslims go to the mosque in large numbers, and Jews in equally large numbers walk to the Wailing Wall to pray at the start of the Sabbath.
Well I'm going to have a good rest tonight (despite the cold that kept me awake last night) so I can face tomorrow's work headon.
