Full moon

Full moon again

Another good friend and former teacher died yesterday. Today the emeritus bishop of Singapore also died. This final month of 2024 is fatal ... in one week I can count at least 10 people I know who died. The Dragon is going out with violence and aggression.

I am still feeling very sick. I went to see the doc very early before the clinic was opened. There was already a line in queue. The doc arranged for me to see a neurologist but I have to wait till February 2025 for the appointment. The heart specialist has to be booked in another hospital. I don't think I'll live to see the doctors.

It's the full moon again. It's enormous and very bright. I had a good time photographing it as I came home from work last night. It's a reminder that the winter solstice is next week ... Dec 21, almost on Christmas Day. It marks the shortest day of the year and officially the 1st day of winter. The Jewish feast of Hanukkah starts on the evening of Christmas Dec 25, so the streets will be crowded with people. Not sure how much festivities are allowed as the war is still not officially over.
