New Bed

This morning I was still full from our meal at Minna Tomei but it didn't stop me having my daily dose of natural yoghurt and melon. I was well rested after my lovely sleep and feeling refreshed and ready to take on anything the week would throw at me.

I had a long chat with the jolly guard this morning, not the same guard whose photo I took with the glock, this guy is a little rounder, but he does have a glock too. We chatted about London, bombs, family and psychopaths as opposed to sociopaths, a strange combination but the gentleman is a fountain of knowledge and I'm now looking for a copy of East of Eden to read.

I need a bed and today I am determined to find one, I left the hotel after asking my jolly guard directions, the answer was not short, and involved another Israeli guest, the conversation was all done in Hebrew, and finally I was told I need to get the bus to Vulcan junction, this would be easy if my pronunciation of Vulcan was the same as the bus drivers, but I have to say, he was not phased and simply said, I'm sorry I'm not understanding, we eventually worked out the my Vulcan should be woolkan and my ticket was purchased.  The lovely man even shouted Woolkan when it was time for me to depart the bus.  Unfortunately the journey was to no avail, there was no bed to be found, well not one I like anyway. So after a spot of lunch and a quick chat with Mumma Hud I was back on the bus to Check point.

Now Check point is huge, and when I got my bearings I headed for the first of many stores, all of which are as a rule very cleverly disguised as grey blocks, or as My Beloved said 'a compacted rabbit warren of breeze blocks'. Simply Wood just didn't do it for me, and a number of other stores I found, although nice were on the expensive side.  But, hallelujah I found a bed store, I found Paul who is really Pinhas, and he showed me around his store, three floors, and beds upon beds, upon beds, so we carefully checked out each floor, sometimes twice, and then I said I would return with My Beloved. After leaving the store I phoned My Beloved and asked him to meet me, we agreed to meet at Cinemall as trying to get him from where he was to where I was was a logistical nightmare. On the road back to the Cinemall I found a store where they sell breakfast bar stools and made a note of their closing times, then I headed to Cinemall where I sat and had a lush drink of hot milk, now in the bottom of this lovely drink was two chocolate bombs, and oh they were so good, once they eventually melted that is, now I'm not a great milk drinker, but I have noticed there is a slight difference in the taste of milk here, but hey when you put chocolate in anything it's gonna taste good.

Kishon Port in the distance

So I waited for My Beloved and I waited, and I waited, it turns out that he had left work early, but once again he had listened to the GPS and she had once again led him on a merry dance, I am now under the impression that the new road system here is not on her radar and something possibily needs updating, because to get from Kishon Port to Cinemall should be quiet an easy task, but not with GPS, she sent My Beloved husband on an hour long trip through the Carmel tunnel again. So having left work reasonably early, it took him an hour to get to me.............. When we eventually me My Beloved asked if we should take the car, going on recently events I thought we had better walk. We walked across the intersection which took an age, and then first stop was the breakfast bar stools, hooray we have sorted and ordered and they should be here in a week. Next stop the bed shop, now this took a little longer, because although My Beloved is a great shopper, he does get easily bamboozled, and he was shown one bed to many, and in the end having been up and down the three floors in the department store, the lovely Pinhas eventually bought the catalogues up to the beds we were undecided on, to save My Beloved walking once again up then down.

Eventually the deed was done, we have a bed, hooray - delivery could be as long as a month or as little as two weeks, we will just have to wait and see.

We walked back to the carpark and took the car on its homeward journey, we ate in the Business Lounge, My Beloved was catching up on work that he had left so he could find a bed, and I caught up on the post with Lou Lou.

We popped around to the house when we had finished to measure a few bits and pieces and then headed back to have a quick chat with Natalie before we headed to dream land.
