I go there and we read the story "Mr. Putter and the Stars

Mr. Putter and Tabby See the Stars

She is a good student and understands the story very well.
But the sun keeps playing hide and see with the clouds and I am blinded by the light again and again.
Maybe I should move my desk again?

Today is Week 3 of the Corona Virus lockdown in Israel.  There are very strict rules here in Israel, so I have only my on-line students now.  Well, I have two music students who agree to have lessons on-line, one flute and one harmonica.   We can't go outside unless to buy food, doctor, or pharmacy.  Stay 2 meters apart from everyone else. 2 people in car only.  Only work from home. 

Well I do that anyway so it is not a problem, except for this Summer Time.  Daylight Savings time. It doesn't save time, just make people get up earlier, and go to be earlier.  The factories are all closed. so why do we do it? Just because. 

9:50 Next lesson at 10:00 got beep from phone.  Stopped Peasach cleaning. Cleaned 5 shelves papered 3.   Next lesson will be a Hebrew lesson.  Maybe Wendy from Taiwan has her book maybe not. I'd better quickly find a cute story in Very easy Hebrew to teach her.  She wants phrases, ok so let's go here:

You are Pericles.  Write a proclamation to the people of the improvements that you want to do for the city. Include at least 3 things that you will do. 

Now I have free time until later today in the evening when I will teach Hebrew.

All this time Ramona is next to me, sleeping in a ball.  I pet her and she doesn't mind.

16:07 Went out to try to get an electric burners for Passover, but the electric shop is now closed, and then called the pet store, they are closed too.  So cat will not have kosher for Passover food, what can I do?

17:18 Went to the supermarket, they have gas burners, but would have to call a tech to put it in, and they are not working.

18:35 Came back home, cleaned a cabinet and then decided to do something about the sun in my eyes in the morning, moved the computer desk around, now won't have a nice background but I hope that I will be able to see the screen without being blinded.  I wonder how many steps I have done so far?

How to take care of a CAT!

How to take care of a cat. 

Cats are an easy animal to take care of.  

1. Feed your cat, cat food twice a day.  I like to give my cat dry cat food during the week and on Shabbat (Saturday) I give her Fancy Feast. 

2. Make sure that there is fresh water for you cat to drink. 

3. Watch where your cat likes to sleep, and put a soft piece of material there for her (him)

4. Play with your cat with a string, or a toy.  It doesn't have to be from the pet store, but something that you drag on the ground.   Your cat likes to hunt and this is a way to make her to have fun with you. 
Pet your cat!  Your cat likes to be pet when he purrs, or rubs his body next to your legs. Pet your cat between the ears, under the collar, but not on the belly!  You might get scratched by four sets of claws! 

5. Have a place where you cat can hide, or a box that she can call her own. 

6. Cats love to scratch things, so a scratch box is a good idea. 

7 Have a litter box for your cat.  Fill with sand, 

Sift through the  to take the cat's shit out every day or every other day. 

  Good luck with your new cat!  Have fun taking care of your CAT!!
