I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked last night. At one point, when I was already half-awake, I heard some banging around and got up quickly, thinking that David might have fallen. But after I had put on my glasses (I ALWAYS do that, even when getting up in the night!) and stood up, I saw that David was lying there peacefully in bed. So then I knew it had to be the cats. One of them (about 99% chance that it was Pascal) had been trying to open the cupboard door under the stove top but hadn't succeeded because it was blocked by the dishwasher being slightly open. Oh well. A little later I heard more noise, including glass sounds. I again went out to the kitchen to see that my water glass had been knocked over, but it had fallen off the counter and so wasn't broken. Not so surprisingly, I got up very late this morning and didn't go out for a walk.
I made 2 more appointments for David this morning, again managing pretty well in Hebrew.
I did the weekly grocery shopping this morning at the big Shufersal on the north side of town (where I always do it), preceded by a short stop at Breishit (the health foods store).
We went to Rachel Café for lunch. David had an onion quiche, and I had a stuffed burekas with a small salad. There was one ingredient that I didn't know about, so I asked. It's called s'khoog. The waiter told me it was spicy hot, so I asked them to put in on the side. When my meal came, I tried a VERY small dot of it, and that was enough to warm up my whole mouth! Boy was I glad they hadn't put that in the burekas itself; I wouldn't have been able to eat it, I'm afraid.
In the evening, David asked for some soup, which I made for both of us. But it served to remind me that our supplies were low and that I had forgotten to replenish them this morning. A quick walk down to the new small Shufersal (just 3 blocks from us) remedied that situation, and the whole trip only took me 20 minutes on foot. How nice to have a quite well stocked market so close!
