Rain

Rainy day

Just when we thought the weather was getting fine and warm, it plummeted down to 7 degrees with constant drizzle. And that's the forecast for the rest of this week. In a way it's nice as it's winter and everyone is saying it might snow if the rain/drizzle continues. We just feel sorry for those in Gaza who have no shelter and heating. 

It's exam time in the schools. Students are jamming and crashing to study for this mid-year exams. The library is full ... not just because it has the books and is a quiet environment for studies ... but it also has heating! When the temp is 6-7 degrees, the library is the best place to be.

Cloudy and gloomy

Rainy season is also the main cause for accidents and injuries. Right now outside my window there is an ambulance flashing red and blue lights, parked and attendants are busy doing something. Not sure if it's taking someone away or bringing someone back. People slip and fall on the slippery limestone pavements, especially the old folks. I wonder why the Municipality continues to pave pedestrian walkways with these limestones.
