Still hot

Shade for a hot day

 Another very hot day today. Luckily my office has an aircon. I could work in relative comfort, but I pity the workers in the streets who have to endure the relentless sun beating down. Right now workers are putting up buntings and flags to prepare for the last day of May. We usually have a procession of Mary throughout the streets of the Christian Quarter to close the month of May.

Tomorrow will be a busy day because we must do everything before the Flag March begins and we're locked indoors to avoid being beaten by the extremist israelis who'll enter our Quarter with police protection. Yes we're not protected by the police but they are.

Prices have gone up so high it's almost impossible to buy anything anymore. Bread now costs twice its price. A 100% increase. The govt blames the Russo-Ukrainian war but the people say its the consequence of 2 years lockdown. Covid has slowed down imports. And the poorest people suffer. I've been buying soon to expire bread and distributing to the poor. It's not much but at least a few families will not go hungry.
