Fair Weather

I decide to hang half the clothes in the house, where there's a 50 percent chance they'll dry, and half outside, where there's a 50 percent chance it will rain.
It did rain in the evening, so I left the clothes out all night and they were dry by morning. (How did that happen?!)

Today is a lovely day. We went to a clinic where I had to get some blood tests. The building looked normal on top, but we parked underneath it. We entered at ground level, which was the sixth floor, and descended from there. Afterwards I had breakfast at a little coffee shop. A typical Israeli breakfast. (Typical blogger lack of complete sentences and correct punctuation.) A salad with perfect dressing (vinegar and oil with a touch of mustard) and a sweet potato-mozzarrella quiche. I'm not sure if that's correct spelling, but when you combine Italian and French you don't have to be too exact, do you? And a small cappuccino, which seems suitable, somehow. It won't keep me awake this time. I could easily go to sleep, but I am so relaxed I don't need to.

Afterwards we strolled unhurried around a few stores. I saw a good felt hat, but I don't need a hat. Or do I. Maybe I'll change my mind when it gets colder, and I'll wish I had bought that hat. I looked at some toys and some art kits and some cut-paste packages and wished I had grandchildren here to do things with. There were stickers of Hebrew letters, and coloring books with Bible stories in simple Hebrew. I saw several really neat scarves (mitpahats), but prices were a bit high. And how many scarfs does one woman need, anyway. (Probably 35 minimum, maybe 300.) The whole time I was there I had a sort of undergroud feeling -- the ceilings were a bit low and the lighting less than the best. It was a relief to come out to daylight again.
And it's a lovely day. I think I'll get outside while I can. It's apt to rain again and for the next few days. I feel free today from the pressure of "get something done." Rather, enjoy life.


Hmmm. That Was a Nice Hat.


Hmmm. Maybe it would be good to have coloring books on hand Just In Case some little ones, or middle-size ones, ever come to visit.

Hmmm. I like art kits and cut and paste myself. But, no, I'm grown up now and I haven't finished fixing the curtains yet.
