End of May

 More and more videos of the injustice and blatant prejudice against paelstines have surfaced and put on social media. I am sicken by it all. I can't bare looking at them anymore. I just mentally switch off. Nothing will change. The West will tacitly allow this unjust discriminaiton to continue so long as it receives the jewish diaspora votes.

Lilies in bloom

The weather is hot this week as predicted. 35 degrees. And nights are above 20 degrees. I was quite sick yesterday with runny nose, sneezes and watery eyes. Wasn't sure if it was a cold or an allergy. Today I'm much better from the runny nose but the awful headache is still here ... and nausea. Perhaps I should go see the doctor. I self-tested and am Covid negative though.

It's almost the feast of St. Anthony of Padua ... so the lilies are in bloom. I have several cream lilies and they are blossoming well well despite the heat. They need a daily watering though. Geraniums love this heat and are also blossoming furiously. Daisies and nasturtiums also. At least I've got those in my terrace. They'll do well with daily watering before the sun rises.

Marian dais

May ended as usual with the annual procession around the Christian Quarter of the statue of Mary. It's then placed on a dais in our courtyard and hymns are sung before the statue is kept away till next May. I didn't join in as the crowds could be carrying Covid. I avoid crowds at all costs.
