Having gotten to bed late last night, I also got up late this morning. Nevertheless, I managed to walk down to Maccabi in plenty of time after breakfast to get my weekly blood-thinning test. I even took time to pause and take a selfie in one of Eilat's beautiful walkways. It was before 9:30 in the morning, and I was very comfortable wearing a short-sleeve t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops:

After I finished that, I walked up to Hannah's place, where I relaxed and chatted for a while. Then we went together to MaccabiPharm, the bank, and Shufersal. Before the grocery shopping, though, we stopped for cold drinks at Il Pentolino, and while we were there Isobel came in and joined so, which was especially nice.

Since Hannah got quite a few groceries today, we took a taxi back to her place.

After resting there and chatting some more, I walked home by a longer route, stopping at the Shufersal near WIZO to buy a few items.

For lunch, I reheated some of the stew, and I also ate a tomato, a cucumber, a beet, and a couple of cookies.

After lunch, I did some grocery shopping at the market in the Einat Center (the 2nd nearest supermarket).

I decided to try to combine the Synful Orchestra with the Strobe2 synthesizer for today's fugue of the day. It took me a while getting everything set up, but I eventually got it working. Taking a subject from my random subject generator, I created today's Fugue of the Day using the violins from the orchestra, a keyboard voice from the synthesizer, and the orchestra's bassoons. You can listen to the result here.

I walked a total of 6.3 kilometers today.
