Shabbat, 12 November 2016

Since I got back late last night, I went to bed late and got up late this morning.

I managed to get a load of laundry done this morning. It's still out on the drying racks in the hallway to my apartment since I haven't taken the time to put it away yet.

For lunch, Gladys invited me to her place. She's a 91-year-old American who has lived in Eilat for decades and whom I know from WIZO. This was the first time I've been to her apartment. She also invited "the boys", 2 brothers from England who have an apartment here in Eilat and come here for extended visits twice a year. She and they are very close. On my walk down there and back, and took some nice flower pictures, including today's pic of the day:

In the afternoon, I got a small amount of work done on my symphony. I'm still a little unsure about exactly how it should go now, and I'm worried that it's beginning to wander a bit.

Later, I talked with David's sister and her husband in Ohio. They've been keeping quite busy, and we all enjoyed a nice chat.

After that, I walked down to Fay's book exchange night at her house. These are always fun social events for me even though I rarely even look much at the books and never bring any home with me.

When I left there, I took a very LONG way home, going way over into Shakhamon and past my old place before coming back on Harim Road. It was so LOVELY out this evening! Of course, this means I'm going to bed very late again tonight, but it was worth it.

I walked a total of 9 kilometers today.
