Deletein short, you outed him. don't think his arab family in Israel will approve
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? "Outed" him, how? I didn't mention his sexuality - of which I know nothing - at all. In fact, I know nothing about him other than that scrap of biographical data which probably came from him. What a very strange comment, Anonymous.
DeleteI agree. A strange comment.
DeleteI like the pictures, the thyme and cracks in the wall are great,
