Rain, Rain Go Away

Today was a murky kind of day, and not the day for going walking, at one point the Port view from the Business Lounge disappeared completely in the foggy moggy weather. Today I spoke with Little Bro and caught up with all the things I have been putting off since we arrived. Northern Rock were delightfully helpful and the young man sorted out my troubles.

So next on the list, the photos - obviously I have imported the photos, now they need to be put in order. What a chore, I tried multi-tasking the files, but computer said no, so individual files had to be ordered then re-ordered. But they are all starting to look like they should and I'm beginning to see the order.

Next job on the list the smalls, so the smalls were washed and hung up in the bathroom ready for the maid to manoeuvre around when she comes to clean the bathroom. I quite like the way the maid rearranges my toiletries in the bathroom, it appears this is far more efficient, so I try not to mess with it too much.

My Beloved had another wasted day in Herzliya and was once again dismissed by the very rude accountant woman, her day will come, he will make sure of that. I had to call him to make him aware of the roads, because of the amount of water man hole covers were popping up all over, and downtown was starting to resemble a lake, one car almost grounded itself on a man hole cover outside the hotel, these are not small man hole covers they are not even disc like, they resemble wide cones, and I saw a man struggling to kick one back it place, and it just didn't budge. Apparently it has been known for cars to drive into these holes and flip over, but not today luckily.

We decided to visit the Castro Centre as Natalie advised us that you can get some good furniture there, so we took ourselves off with the GPS and headed to the centre, the furniture was nice and we saw a very nice suite, but we really need advice because we dont want a three and a two, and who knows if you are allowed to get just the three, but we will find out. We took a walk around the centre and I showed My Beloved all the artist areas, and then I need a toilet break and this is the piece of art we found outside the toilets.

Supper today WOW Minna Tomei, it is a 5 Asian Kitchens Restaurant and we were given the Japanese tables, which meant we were sitting on the floor, but our legs were sitting in a little ditch area under the table. Having short legs I had to remove the cushion from under my bum  because I couldn't reach the floor, it was surprisingly comfortable. Our waitress Giselle was lovely and although we were warned her English was not good, her English was far superior to our Hebrew.  She told us about the restaurant, about the food and how to order, so we started with Salmon Tartar on Tempura Rice, and Shrimp Tempura with a chilli seasoning.  Both dishes were lovely and amazingly light.  We Then were advised by Giselle to order a chicken dish which came with a noodle of some kind, the noodles were flat but again very light, and also a Beef dish, which arrived so beautifully displayed on the plate wrapped in a Banana leaf that it was a shame to eat it, but hey sod it we were hungry.

We left the restaurant and headed back up the mountain to the Carmel, home in time for a quick chat with the Little Princes and then bed time.
