I got up early this morning, but not until I had relaxed a bit in bed while Pascal (our mostly black cat) licked my hand. Then I was off to the gym for some good exercise.
I got the special diet food for the cats from the vet today, so tonight they start on it. Katom (our gingi American cat), in particular, really needs to lose some weight.
Next, I did the weekly grocery shopping. I stopped first at the Mega store in town to get some Quaker Oat cereal packets (David's usual breakfast), and then I continue to Shufersal to do most of the shopping.
We ate lunch at Greg Café at Mercaz Big. David had tricolor pasta (even though it's actually no longer on their menu), and I had their "country salad". Afterwards, we drove down to the Yellow station by the airport to fill up and to get Rosa (our Fiat Panda) a badly needed bath.
Later in the afternoon, I went over to the Maccabi pharmacy to get our monthly prescriptions filled.
I did some more reading today in a book I barely started many months ago. It's a Hebrew translation of a book entitled "1421: The Year China Discovered the World", and it's very interesting. It seems that the Chinese actually sailed around a lot in the Western Hemisphere, including the Caribbean, several decades before the Europeans. Even more interesting, the Europeans may well have somehow gotten maps that the Chinese had made, which, of course, would have helped them. I'm only a little way into the book, so there is much more information to be learned, obviously. Of course, one of my main reasons for getting back into reading this book is actually to practice and try to improve my Hebrew.
