Today I woke up early (I actually always do!) and immediately sat with a cup of coffee - lovely prepared for me by Stephane - in front of my laptop. First the news: what happened tonight? I am extremely relieved to read that the night was quiet in Israel. No rockets. Sad of course that the conflict is still going on. Very sad looking at all the terrible images. From all sides.
The plan for today: work, work, work.... Lots of mails to read and handle. A long to do list.... I have trouble connecting to the remote computer at Hunkemoller. Keep being thrown out... I will probably have to go work in the cafe accross the street. Used to it. Actually nice. I sometimes engage in conversations with curious neighbours. This is what's so great here in Israel. People talk to each other. People are interested in each other. Really interested. Not just polite. Most of the time, they're actually the opposite of polite and ask questions that might be considered unacceptable in Europe. You get used to it and learn how to answer. Often with a question... Nevertheless it is a great way to enlarge your network, trigger new ideas and even make business! So I will pack my gears and head towards my "stamcafe" as they say in the Netherlands. This means the "coffee shop where your roots are"... litterally translated of course!
