I walked downtown to the shops on HaTmarim Avenue to find a strainer (I thinks that's what it should be called) so that I could rinse my lentils easily. I found exactly what I wanted, and it wasn't very expensive, either.
I walked home a bit more leisurely, and I also stopped at the supermarket above Rachel Café to get more of the sweetener I use in my coffee. I only just started on my last container of it, but most markets don't carry it, so I try to stay ahead so as not to run out. This particular market, however, seems to stock it quite regularly.
For lunch at home, I had a large salad with half a dark red bell pepper added and some lentils and bread. This was my first time cooking lentils (at least that I can remember!), but I had checked for directions on the web, and they came out pretty good. Next time, though, I'll use a bit less water.
After lunch, I did a little grocery shopping at one of the local markets, and then I proceeded to work on my Machine Learning Foundations class. I solved the software problem by a work-around: I downloaded the things I needed to my PC (instead of my Mac) and managed to get it all to work there. In that way, I was able to do the very simple programming exercises and thereby get the correct answers to this week's quiz questions. What a big relief!
After that, I went out for a long walk. I continued all the way to the end of Sheshet HaYamim Blvd., up the completed part of the Nakhal Garuf tayelet (promenade), then up to the end of Harim Road. I rested there for a bit and petted a lovely, medium-haired calico cat, who just soaked it up. Then I returned back home on Harim Road, stopping a couple times, including a short work-out at the gym. The weather was just perfect -- I walked very comfortably the whole way in sandals, short pants, and a tank top.
I walked a total of 10.68 kilometers today.
