I woke last night at about 1:30 and then didn't manage to get back to sleep until after 4:00. Needless to say, I got up way too late to go for a walk.
My friend, Me'ir, had a big surprise last night. He has 2 dogs. One is a small, female dog who's less than a year old and so is still basically a pup. The other is a large, gentle black dog that he's had for about 10 years. Anyone who ever watch the large one peeing would certainly know it was a male, but last night "he" gave birth to 5 adorable black puppies! Obviously, NO one had any idea that "he" was pregnant! I guess he/she must be some kind of an intersex dog.
I taught 8 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-10:30, 11:30-1:00, 4:00-5:30, and 7:30-9:00 (the latter despite the fact that my availability is supposed to end at 8:30 p.m.).
I ate lunch at home after visiting Me'ir and seeing one of the puppies (the others were elsewhere in the apartment).

Tuesday, 6 October 2015
I got up early this morning and got in my usual good walk. It's beginning to be really nice out now!
As always, I enjoyed the weekly English speakers' meeting at WIZO today.
For lunch, Me'ir and I went to a sort of small cafeteria in the industrial area and had a nice home-style meal. It was delicious and very inexpensive, as well.
I taught 4 units of Berlitz lessons today: 3:00-4:30 and 5:00-6:30.

I got to bed VERY late last and so didn't go for a walk this morning.
Me'ir and I had pad-thai for lunch at Manga (at the old mall) today.
Other than that, I just relaxed today.

I got to bed late last night and so got up too late to go for a walk this morning. I did walk, though, for about half an hour in the evening.
I did the weekly grocery shopping this morning (and actually bought very little).
In the evening, Me'ir and I ate at the Gulf Restaurant.
The rest of the day, I just relaxed, played games on my iPad, and watched interesting or entertaining YouTube videos (also on the iPad).
This is the eve of the Shmini Atzeret / Simchat Torah holiday here in Israel. In honor of this:

על שלושה דברים העולם עומד: על התורה, ועל העבודה, ועל גמילות חסדים
On three things the world stands: on the Torah, on work, and on philanthropy.

Shabbat, 3 October 2015
I woke up early this morning and so got out for a good morning walk. It's still so warm out in the morning (before 6:00 a.m.) that I go without any shirt at all.
This morning was occupied taking care of a guy who drank a whole bottle (1 liter) of Arak (liquor that's 40% alcohol) at my friend's house (he stoke the bottle without permission) and then, of course, passed out on the floor. We had to call an ambulance, and they took him to the ER. Then we had to go get his elderly mother and another friend from their apartments on the other side of town. All was well in the end, though, of course.
I had a bit of lunch at Cafe Neto, at the old mall.
I was sleepy in the afternoon, so I napped just a little, for about an hour (or maybe even a little less).
In the late afternoon, I had another nice conversation with Joyce, David's sister in Ohio. She has her hands full during the week taking care of granddaughters.

I got to bed very late last night and so got up too late to go out for a walk. I did walk down, though, and buy challah for Shabbat.
I taught 5 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-9:45, 10:00-11:30, and 11:30-1:00.
In the evening, I lit candles, drank a bit of sweet red wine, and ate some challah to welcome the Shabbat Queen.

Thursday, 1 October 2015
I got up early and got in a good walk this morning.
I had been scheduled to teach 6 units today (10:00-11:30, 12:00-1:30, and 3:00-4:30), but I had to cancel the 4 morning units to take of some urgent business at the bank. At least I was finally successful.
I ate lunch at home.
In the evening, I met with my friend, Isobel, and our mutual friends, Morey and Alissa, together with Alissa's nephew and niece, whom they are raising, at Il Pentolino. I really enjoyed this little social outing!
