Dara Barnat’s celebration of her new book, (Headwind Migration)at Tsomet Sfarim on Dizengoff Street, was not only a wonderful occasion in itself, but also gave me the opportunity to revisit Dizengoff Street. The book is about migration, as its title suggests, and what you take with you, and as i strolled toward the store, I thought of what Dizengoff was like when i first moved here, and how elegant and sophisticated it seemed to me then. I have lost the sense of strangeness, and feel at home now on the street, even though i visit it so infrequently now.

Got a big day in parliament tomorrow, so i have to go to sleep now…
