Late this afternoon, I just needed to get out. Usually, when I feel like that, I pop over to Rami Levy, but the only thing we need today is tomatoes. Husbinator wisely suggested I go to the Pisgat Ze'ev mall with BSM: dinky as it is, it beats tomato shopping for excitement.
Thinking of the mall as I got us into the car, I thought of Home Center, which reminded me that I bought engine oil there not long ago, so I checked my fluid levels before I left. And boy oh boy, am I glad I did. Not that I needed more oil; I had plenty of fluids in my engine... and a kitten. I repeat: I opened the hood of my car and a kitten ran out. And once more: there was a cat in my engine!

The mall itself was nice: for 10ILS, someone else cooked dinner for BSM, though sitting in a mall for 45 minutes while he eats half of his grilled chicken sandwich is...interesting. After that, we just walked around. I saw a bodega that sold balloons, and after that we walked around with a balloon that had stars on it (double the excitement). It was nice.
And Home Center had winter blankets on clearance, so I got some more. I know, I know: when we left the US, everyone was sure we owned a lifetime supply of blankets. It turns out that when you have an unheated home and want to have sleepover guests, a lifetime supply of blankets is just barely sufficient.

And in case you forgot, on the way to the mall, what did I find? That's right: there was a cat in the engine of my car. It's going to be a loooong time before I turn on my car without thumping on the hood, first.
