24 hrs

Clear crisp morning

 It's 7am and 5 degrees. The sky is clear, sunny and the air is crisp. All appears to be a perfect Spring day ... except for the constant rumbling of fighter jets overhead, the sirens warning of missile attacks and the explosions of intercepted missiles. Some close enough to shake our house and rattle the windows. It's almost 24 hours since the first siren signalling the start of the war.

I must admit the barrage is not as heavy as June last year. But it certainly is a lot closer to our home. Last night there were two alerts and this morning once. Which wasn't was often as June last year when alerts came every hour throughout the night.

This morning I realised I do not have enough stock of my medicine. I will need to go back to my insurance clinic for another prescription this morning. Let's hope nothing happens along the way as I'm not able to run. Govt orders are that non-essential activities must cease (includes going to Church). Hospitals are essential I can freely go out to get my medicine.
