Argh!

I looked in the mirror as I was brushing my hair today and I noticed not just one but several grey hairs!!!!

I suppose I should have been prepared - My mother has been going grey ever since I can remember and my husband even has a few grey hairs in our wedding photos, he was 23.

I suppose I will have to start behaving like a grown up now?
Maybe not!

Not just in Israel

There was quiet until midmorning when the sirens started wailing. They continued all morning and my daughter is most put out that her favourite TV program has been interrupted 3 times. She is convinced Nasrallah is monitoring her viewing.

At 11am a friend phoned and told me to turn on the international news. British airports are in chaos due to a bomb threat and everyone is being searched and hand luggage is been severely regulated.There are pictures of terminals absolutely heaving with passengers due to extensive delays.
Simon Hughes is on Sky trying to blame Israel and the War in Iraq for Islamic terror. So what’s new?

All flights from Tel Aviv have been cancelled so it seems my Dad got to England just in time.

A More Positive Note?

Here is a nice article on the local hospital - The hospital where my two children were born. Of course it is not nice that a hospital was hit but it was good to hear they were so well prepared and no one was hurt.

13 thoughts from Yair Lapid.

As I surfed around I happened on Pravda. I remember learning about it during history lessons on the Soviet Revolution so it seems almost anachronistic for it to be online. It definately has a quirky style and is not as vehemently anti-Israel as I would have expected. And who new llamas were part of the war effort? Maybe I could knit some llama wool army socks for my husband.

At least there is something positive going on in the Israeli economy. I think this is the computer chip they were talking about on the TWiT podcast ( 63).

Something sweet to finish? Elite is donating chocolate 'hugs' to our soldiers. Huggle Time!

The beginning of the prickles

I have been planning to start this blog for quite a while but never quite got round to it.

I had planned to start with an explanation of the name and to describe this blog as a mixture of memories and anecdotes about life in Israel.

However LIFE seems to have taken over and I feel I should start this blog with an account of what is happening in Israel now.

Not very original and, I suspect, hardly unique but then this is only supposed to be a blog of an ordinary person.
