nice and hot
10 degrees might seem lame to europeans, but believe me, if your house has the same temperature like outside, it ain't that lame anymore...
i have a few tricks and suggestions for those who have a hard time staying warm and cosy;
*add spices to your food which stimulates your internal heat like fresh ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, cardamom
*drink lukewarm water or hot tea with ginger, all day through
*make your own chai:
recepie for 4 cups appr. , (you can sift the spices and reuse them by adding milk and water again)
3 cups of water
4 cinnamon sticks
15 pods of whole cardamom (crush it)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons fresh ginger
8 cloves
(you can also add some black pepper)
4 tablespoons of black tea (optional)
2cups of milk
sugar/honey as you please
boil the spices in water for 10 min. add black tea and milk and cook it until boiling. strain the tea to avoid leaves and spices in your cup. add sugar/honey.
yumyum....
* alternate the water while you shower between hot and cold water. this will get your blood circulation going and it will make you stay warm compared to taking a hot shower, which will give you instant heat but vanish just as quick again.
ciao for now!

goodmorning!
started this morning with 20 min of meditation.
observed my monkeys jumping about.
now i feel calmer.
today is a mandatory demonstration day. once again a long bus ride down to tel aviv, and then trying to convince the israeli government to give more money to the arts and culture, rather than most of it to the military etc. phew...
tonight i dreamt of frkn l and her friend n, weird as always in my dreams.
i wish whoever reads this a beautiful day.

treats
we are awaiting a storm. it will probably be quite a wild one. im looking forward to it. so magical here, the 'winter'.
yesterday i had a treatment with my physiotherapist, this body isn't so happy these days. anyhow, he just became a father of his fourth child, and he is working to feed six people. which means pretty damn hard. hence, when i arrived there at 9 (13 h after he started working), he was trashed. so i treated him with a massage and hot chocolate with whiskey.
hot chocolate with whiskey is a great invention for these cold days. an additional cigarette might make it just perfect..
