Vegan pigs

In vegan blankets. Made in bulk; the meat eating boys of the household love ‘em too. We will take some for the journey tomorrow ... these pigs will fly.

We are off to Tel Aviv which is a very vegan city. We are within walking distance of a supermarket that only sells plant based products and have a well equipped Airbnb so can stay in and cook if we want to. But there are lots of restaurants and cafes.

Tel Aviv is to Netanyahu‘s Israel as New York is to Trump’s America, and certainly not typical of the government of the day. From Gay Pride to secularism and plant based eating, it is the outward looking, diverse and cosmopolitan city at the heart of the country. I’m looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with it.

But I so need a rest. I just can’t cope with work. These last few days have really pulled me down again and I’m not sure why; but I know the signs, the tiredness, the creaky voice, the low mood.

Hope I get a recharge out of this next ten days.
