Arrived in Jerusalem

We're staying with GGF's Mum in her lovely flat, but I've been in a real bone-aching fever since I got here, and so has GGF, who fainted yesterday - she's OK now. I couldn't sleep for any length of time, and I soaked the bed sheets several times over as I veered from freezing cold to boiling hot.

In my deranged mental state I was convinced of various things: that the Israelis had poisoned us both at the border; that I had meningitis and was going to die because they wouldn't notice the differences between that and a nasty cold virus; and that all my clothing was being taken away and moistened by bizarre water deviants. No, I don't know what a water deviant is, but that was the phrase echoing around my tortured head in my twilight world.

I've some recordings I made as we crossed King Hussein Bridge, and at the dentist, who was a very nice man, and who is going to introduce me to some Palestinian musician friends of his. This visit was the only thing I have really managed to do in two days. I'm feeling a lot more human now, off to the Old City in five minutes, and I'll upload some more sounds as soon as I can.
