Tuesday, 4 August 2015

I got to bed fairly early and slept well last night, but I also slept until late and so didn't get out for a walk.

I enjoyed the weekly English speakers' meeting at WIZO today, as usual.

I took Me'ir, a young lesbian friend of his, and her brother to lunch at Rachel today. Her friend (and, I think, partner) is in intensive care at the hospital fighting for her life, and apparently they don't know exactly what's wrong with her. She's only in her 20's! After eating, we went to the hospital and spent much of the rest of the day there. Of course, we could NOT go into intensive care to visit.

There were several young women at the hospital, friends of the sick girl, and Me'ir told me they were all lesbians. I would not have guessed it about ANY of them (including the lovely young woman we took to lunch). The women here in Israel who DO look like stereotypical dykes are much more likely to be very straight kibbutznik-type women. Go figure!

I taught just one 2-unit Berlitz lesson today: 5:00-6:30.
