Ramadan lights

Ramadan lights
 It's all over the newspapers today ... Singapore is opening an embassy in Tel Aviv ... after 53 years of diplomatic rapport. Good news for me as my passport renewal woes will be over. Now it's a question of where in Tel Aviv the embassy will be. And when it will be settled. Apparently it's an open-ended decision with no dateline. So it's a waiting game.

Last night on my way home I saw the Damascus Gate area all lit up for Ramadan. It begins on April 2nd evening. That's a week before Holy Week and Jewish Pesach. It'll be a very busy and crowded month in the Old City.

Covid infections have risen again and the govt is mulling if it should impose restrictions again. Only 2 weeks back the state of emergency was called off. I sure hope it doesn't roll back as we're almost back to normal. There're crowds of tourists in the streets.

Anyway the doc came to see me today and prescribed alot more medicines for my chest infection. I have to use the nebuliser twice a day now.
