Last night, not long after falling asleep (or maybe even before — I'm not sure which), I began coughing every time I took a deep breath, which prevented from going back to sleep. Finally, I just got up for some time. Eventually, the coughing seemed to have gone, so I went back to bed and managed to sleep well. Of course, I then got up VERY late this morning.

After breakfast, I set to work on today's fugue of the day. It's for brass (trumpets and trombones). In the evening, I finished it, and you can listen to it by clicking here.

In the early afternoon, I walked over to Hannah's place. On the way, I took some pictures, including today's pic of the day, in which I actually managed to catch a flying insect:

After chatting and helping Hannah with some forms for tests that her doctor had ordered, we walked down to the bus stop near Maccabi and caught a bus over to Shakhamon, where we went to a latke party hosted by a new English-speaker in town, Yakira. It was a lot of fun, and the latkes were fabulous!

After finishing my fugue for today, I signed up for a new online specialization on Coursera called "Applied Data Science with Python Specialization". It's offered by the University of Michigan. I started watching the videos and doing the exercises, and it looks like it's going to be really fun and interesting!

I walked a total of 4 kilometers today.
