Weekend

New Year couplets on our
community notice board

It's the weekend and the temp has dropped to 7 degrees. Forecast is 5 degrees the next few days. I must remember to bring my Japanese bamboo indoors as the cold is too much for this tropical plant. And that goes for my 2 pots of cat's whiskers (kidney plant) whose leaves we use to make an infusion. Many of us have problems with our kidneys and this infusion tea really works. Now I can't afford to let it die in this cold.

Our superior has placed New Year couplets on our community notice board. Everyone wants to know what the words mean. And everyone was envious of the New Year Mass and celebration with the Nuncio. Some have wrote to us me why they were not invited. Sigh .....

Chinese arrive on bikes

It's Sabbat and there's a growing community of Chinese migrant workers in the Jerusalem area. Very many cycle to here to buy rice, food and vegetables from the arabs as it's cheaper. Every other person is Chinese. No joke. I just hope they are not ripped off by the shop keepers. I try to hang around to hear the prices and warn them if they're being cheated. Some of them cycle for 5 km carrying huge sacks of rice, canned food and bottles of water. Quite dangerous with this load and cycling on the highways.

Viewership of my blog is still over 1400 and that rings alarm bells. Several of our students have had their phones and social media accounts hacked; even credit card and bank accounts! It's getting rampant. So just to let you know I only have one account for each social media and if you receive any news or request to friend, it's definitely not me and definitely a fake account. Same with my telephone number which someone else is answering. Calls don't reach me but instead to someone else who speaks hebrew.
