Hello, back again.
It's Sunday night and I'm actually in the Ulpan, which makes a nice change. I've had a really nice week where, Thank G-d, I've been busy every night. Party, party, party!!!
Sunday night was the official opening party at the Ulpan. Cue DJ, alcohol and South Americans showing us mere mortals how to move to the rhythm of the beat, and the Anglos showing them how to sit on the side and drink!
Monday night, I went to a Barbeque in the old city hosted by an organisation called 'Jerusalem Connections'. I'm not sure that I'm the sort of person they're looking to recruit (I got the impression they're main work is in Kiruv), but it was a fine night with great views and free meat!! After the Barbeque, a few of us wandered into town to have a drink, with wandering being the operative word. We walked this way and that without seemingly any direction, so cue old man Ford getting the hump! Sometimes even nice people turn nasty! lol
Also last week was the Jerusalem Wine Festival at the Israel Museum, where I of course put on my best 'Food and Drink' character, swirling all sorts of wine, and sticking my nose into glasses, whilst pretending that I wasn't just an 'alchie' glugging wine. It was most amusing for everyone else (anyone on Facebook, you can check out the pics!).
Shabbat, I was in Ulpan again but out for meals, including a wonderfully unique Friday night round at Barak's. For anyone that knows him, no he hasn't mellowed. I don't think the non-English guests could quite believe that people who like each other, might possibly display this by slagging each other off.
And now we're back to the start of another week :-(
This Sunday malarky is really beginning to get to me. I miss my second day of Shabbat in exile!
Please keep all your messages coming. Some of you have told me that you're missing me which means you're either very sweet or good liars, but I will take it as the former.
