The Brown Hotel

Yesterday I spent two hours of my life watching Bones and pedalling that bike, it and I are becoming quite attached to one another, although I think the friendship is a little one sided as I'm all over that thing, but I don't get complaints and one needs to find ones friendships where one can, Friends with benefits comes to mind.

My Beloved and I met up for a little lunch time romance, well as much romance as you can get with 40-50 other diners in the room.  We ate at Kyoto a sushi/chinese restaurant around the corner from My Beloveds office, Business mens lunch was the order of the day, and let me tell you, it's no wonder these business men get fat, we ate what would equate to a lunch the size of a small obese child, possibly a twin..... But it was lovely, and nice to be out with My hubby through the day.

 I left My Beloved to go back to work, took a little trip around the shops in the business area and then headed home. I ordered the Jerusalem Post Ivrit to be delivered, which is the Newspaper in easy Hebrew with explanations apparently so hopefully this will help with the Hebrew reading.

We had a lovely evening as we were heading to Tel Aviv for an InterNations expat event at The Brown Hotel, our taxi driver had a hell of a time finding the place as it was tucked away down a little side road, it was a lovely place, and we arrived on the rooftop bar via the lift to the third floor, we met a lovely guy in the lift called Nir from Israel who introduced himself to us, and we spent a lovely time chatting with him, the roofbar filled up with the expats from all over the world and we chatted to quite a few of them, I met a lovely lady called Anna from Australia, and Ian from London, and Anthony the organiser also from London, there were many nationalities at the event and it was really nice to be out in Tel Aviv. Nir and My Beloved swapped phone numbers as they work quite close to one another so they may meet up for one of those business mens lunch things.

We only left the rooftop when the heavens decided to open on us, so the rest of the expat evenings was spent in the foyer of the hotel.  We said our goodbyes and decided to explore a little of what Tel Aviv had to offer, we found a lovely little wine bar, and an even nicer barman called Tom, and we supped wine whilst eating bread and cheese, My Beloved deciding he now quite likes blue cheeses, myself I really am not very happy with this improvement in his tastebuds, this now means I have to share my smelly cheese with him, is there nothing sacred in this marriage......
