Been Sick

Hi all, very short blog as not much to report as the last week has pretty much been a washout from a social point of view, mainly because for most of the week I was sick.

Which sucks and I could have curled up in bed for the 3 days I was really bad, but being British and really stubborn I still went into work even though  would have much rather stayed in bed.  But I guess its my determination to show my new employers that come whatever I will make it into work and do my job.  Fortunately I'm feeling much better now and even went to the Doctor who insisted on me going for a test, despite me saying I'm nearly better I don't need it LOL.  So I've still got to do that test.

This coming week I've not got much planned yet, one friends wedding on Wednesday which should be fun. So for now this very short blog post, I say farewell and my friends in the UK enjoy your long weekend, my friends here in Israel enjoy your week.

Birthday

As promised here is the latest instalment of my blog, so since I last posted it has been a relatively hectic time.  Work has kept me busy and I've managed to enjoy myself socially as well.

Started off my weekend with a friend’s birthday.  That was a cool thing to do as it was also a chance to decompress after finishing work for the week.  So I had fun.  Friday was a busy day in the end for me, with a few things to do I was able to do them and then enjoy myself by going for coffee with a friend and then off to dinner with my Cousin Ilan and his wife Sara and some of their friends so that was nice and hope I'll do that again soon.


The following day was my birthday so after going to synagogue in the morning and then relaxing it was off to the beach for the evening to spend time with friends and enjoy the sunset, I have to say who could have imagined I would be spending firstly my birthday on the beach and secondly watching a gorgeous sunset.  So to my friends who came I thank you and for the presents thank you very much and I'll put them to good use.  I also received a few cards from home and a present via Amazon thanks to one of my best friends back home Steve Bowman, once again Steve you showed excellent taste in presents.

After that it was back to work Sunday morning... somehow I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to the working week been Sunday to Thursday but I'm sure eventually it will become second nature.  So I've had two contrasting days at work, one very busy and the other not so busy, I'm hoping tomorrow is more of the busy than the not so busy.


So that's what I've been up to, looking into starting my new hunt for an apartment, I am thinking the time has come to live on my own as I've never done that before.  The search itself is very daunting, living on my own is also scary but like making Aliyah it’s another wall to climb and climb it I will.  For now I say goodbye and speak with you all soon.

Work, Wedding and... not got another W LOL

Sorry about the odd title, but hey it works :-). Hope everyone is doing well both here in Israel and in the UK and anywhere else you might be reading this blog from.
Well it’s been a busy week with work, slowly, slowly think I'm getting to totally understand it and its even been mentioned about possibly taking on more responsibility, but still early days so we shall see what happens. But it would be nice; as it stands I'm still in my trial period so we shall see where things go.
Socially wise this week which looked like being very busy, sadly seems to have gone the other way. Plans I had have fallen through for one reason or another, but I suppose that is life. Still got a birthday party to look forward to tomorrow night after work and my own birthday celebrations as well.
Going to be short blog but would be remiss in not mentioning the lovely wedding I attended yesterday evening in Hadera. It was really nice evening and I hope both Austin and Kassy have many happy years together and may we only meet on a Simcha. Mazal tov to you both once more.
Finally, hope everyone is well and hear from you about this blog post or any of my other posts very soon. Or even just general chat. So speak soon
