I got up early enough to walk to the gym and back, but I didn't work out there at all today.
I taught only 4 units of Berlitz lessons today: 12:00-1:30 and 5:00-6:30.
We ate lunch at Café Café at Ice Park today. David had shakshuka and I had east/west noodles (really, more east, as in Asian). I made the mistake of finishing David's dish, though, and therefore had quite a bit too must to eat. But at least it was fairly healthy.
In the evening we drove back over to Ice Park for our traditional frozen yogurt.
Yesterday and today, they have been planting a lot of trees and flowers and putting down an artificial turf lawn in the area around our parking lot, behind our building. It now looks MUCH nicer! However, I'm not very pleased about the motivation for it. It seems that the municipality did this, and the reason is quite simple: in 8 days, the mayor is up for re-election. My questions is this: is this kind of work REALLY the city's responsibility? If it is, why did they wait until now, just before the election, to do it? If it's not, isn't this a questionable use of public money? Either way, the mayor is basically using public money to try to get people to vote for him. I'd say that he lost my vote, except that I was already planning to vote for his biggest opponent, Dubi Cohen, whose writings I have been following and with whose plans I've been quite impressed.
