I slept well again, got up early, and went for a very nice walk. I walked across Nakhal Shakhamon about halfway between the Harim and Sheshet HaYamim bridges and continue across the middle of Shakhamon, going right past my old place, which is today's pic of the day:
After breakfast and my morning routine, I headed down to the Maccabi office in town to try to get my approval for tomorrow's trip. The lady there was very nice and contacted the office in the center that has to approve such things. She left them an urgent message, and, sure enough, they approved it and she called me to let me know within about half an hour. So all is now arranged and settled.
I wandered around in that area a bit before taking another bus back home. There's some disagreement about whether I can get a day-pass on the buses using my Rav Kav card or not. The guy at the central bus station said that I definitely CAN, but none of the bus drivers seem to be able to do it. So I wrote to Egged (the bus company) on their website. We'll see what they say. I took 5 bus rides today, and it would have been quite a savings if I could have gotten a day-pass.
I got some important editing done on my Variations on HaTikva for orchestra today. I'm working to make the sound more varied in volume and intensity and thereby, hopefully, more interesting and "musical". It's pretty detailed work, but I think it will pay off.
I had "falafel sticks" and a large salad for lunch today. I had seen the sticks in the frozen section at the market and had decided to buy and try them. They were pretty good, although a little dry. Eating them with some ketchup helped.
In the afternoon, I treated myself to a trip to Ice Park mall, taking the bus in both directions. I walked around the mall quite a bit and looked at several things, but I didn't buy anything at all. Still, it was an enjoyable outing.
In the evening, I went down to Fay's house for the weekly meeting of our play-reading group. It was enjoyable, as always.
I walked a total of 11.34 kilometers today.
