Some days are a bit more sad than the others..
Yesterday we moved to our new apartment and slept in there for the first time. The view is to the street through our window (you can get a glimpse of our 0.5m-1.4m deep pool on the right) . It is quite a livable place afterall! We can hear frongs and crickets through our window and a bit of distant city hum. The only problem is that there's no food stores nearby, only Shell gas station (that we'll definitely visit frequently), neither any feeding places. We have to come up with some new routines - it used to be so easy before - just walk down the stairs, stroll along the street, find a place of your liking and eat! Now we either have to plan meetings elsewhere or then start cooking at home (how barbarian!..:)
Otherwise, got not so good news from my mother, she's ill and in hospital, the seriousness of it all is difficult to know, hopefully she'll recover soon.. This is really the first time I have to worry about the health of my parents.. Wish I'd never have to...
I've found a funny interactive graphics website from Sunday Straights online newspaper. See how Israeli helicopters killed the spiritual leader of Hamas. Or browse around yourself, see if you find something for your liking. I think Hesari has a long way to go with its visualizations.. Although I can not imagine anyone really exploring where the victims of some disaster were when the accident happened, except, of course, for people like myself who're fascinated about the peculiarity of it all.
