Shabbat, 2 April 2016

I got up early this morning and went out for a walk a little later but still before breakfast. I also put in a load of laundry.

After breakfast, I watched last night's BCC (Beth Chayim Chadashim) services.

A little later, I chatted for a while with a Facebook friend, Gregory, in Melbourne, Australia.

I received a somewhat strange call from my former landlord, Dudu, today. He wanted to know if Me'ir still lived in the same place. I told him I thought so, and then I gave him Me'ir's new telephone number. He called back a little later after having apparently talked to Me'ir on the phone. I always have trouble understanding Dudu's Hebrew, but I think he said Me'ir wasn't feeling well and wasn't at home but told him that his (Me'ir's) neighbor, Ohad, had a key to his apartment, and he wanted me to check that his dogs were okay. I was a little reluctant, but I agreed to walk up there.

As soon as I arrived on the floor, I knew that the dogs were okay because they were barking. At first, Ohad didn't answer the door, but then he came out, and I asked him about Me'ir. He said he hadn't seen him in a long time and that he did NOT have the key to Me'ir's apartment. However, he has been feeding the dogs by accessing Me'ir's balcony from his own, and he gave me his (Ohad's) phone number, which I later passed on to Dudu.

The strange part is that Dudu seemed quite friendly in all of this and said not a word about me needing to pay him. So, I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but it doesn't seem to be my problem, at least.

I had a salad with added tomato, walnuts, and sunflower seeds, plus eggs and rice for lunch at home today.

In the afternoon and evening, I continued working on my Machine Learning class.

I also talked with Joyce, David's sister in Ohio, and her husband, and we had a nice conversation.

In the evening, I went for a fairly long walk (I was out more than an hour, although I did sit a rest for part of that time).

I'm starting something new today. I'm going to try to include one picture that I take each day. So, here's today's picture of the day, a view of Aqaba at dusk from near where highway 12 comes into town:

I walked a total of 7.67 kilometers today.
