When we eventually got up, the road had been peeled, well that's how I would describe it, the top layer of road surface was gone, and so were the workmen, so looks like it will be another noisy night tonight, but the funniest thing is that the Israeli's have completely ignored all the red fencing and fancy tape and driven around it at every opportunity, and where the digger couldn't get in because of cars, the road surface does not have straight edges, it has little loops around the back end of the cars that parked in the cordoned off places.
My Beloved has a meeting in Herzliya today so I decided to go with him, usually he is away well before my lights are on, but today he would be later and Graeme was also going, so I waited until he had been to the Port and joined the boys on a trip to the big smoke, traffic was a nightmare, and backed up all the way to Netanya, which would be about 20 km, My Beloved was lane jumping, he is a very impatient driver, Graeme and I just ignored him.
First stop Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Bald man, breakfast consisted of yoghurt, fruit, granola, honey and chocolate balls, it was delicious. I can't wait to bring the girls here, if you love chocolate this would be your idea of heaven, and the smells as you walk in the door make you salivate whilst your waiting.
Ok first stop the organic food shop, not because it is organic, but because it has wonderful foods, and many of them European, and today I found English Cheddar, I was so excited I nearly kissed the gentleman serving me, I got my sliver to try and said 'give me four blocks', they will go in the freezer when we get home. I also found some great plates that are biodegradable and look bambooish, so they will go in the cupboard for when we have the BBQ up and running, I found pasta made from rice, no gluten, no wheat, so I'm going to be giving that a try.
Next stop, one shop up the garden/home shop wow very expensive but amazing things if only I could afford them, why do I have expensive taste, its just wrong!
Then I headed to all the shops in the courtyard that My Beloved's work was on, I found a lovely Butchers shop, and I think I have found what we will be having for supper, I just have to remember to go back for them, because it's a touch warm today, and I don't fancy dragging the chicken around Herzliya then cooking it, it was a chicken thigh stripped of the skin, with the large bone sticking up, and the sauce apparently was honey and onion, it looked so tasty. I then found the supermarket and found Yevgeny's Earl Grey but no English Mustard for Mark this time, well they do have a squeezee bottle and I waiting to hear back from him if this would be ok.
I have been unlucky in my quest for place mats so far, I did find some that would possibly do as a make shift but this was only for cups, nothing for dinner plates, so my search goes on. My Trolley bag is stapped full with goodies and I waiting to hear from My Beloved so I can put them in the car and continue on my shopping trip. I took myself to one of the coffee shops and sat and caught up on Facebook and mail, then headed around more of the shops, I did find mats for coffee cups, and they were really nice so that purchased and directions asked for shops where I could maybe buy table mats I left and trekked around more of Herzliya's shops.
I came across a sign for Habitat, but what a job I had find the store, eventually I gave up, next time I'm in Herzliya my mission will be to find the store. I found a lovely crystal shop, now I'm not talking ornaments, I'm talking chandeliers and tiling, and would you believe the young guy who served me is the son of a woman who makes table mats, she is an artist and he has given me her website, he did try to get me onto the sight from his computer, it just kept saying NO.
Just as I was about to say goodbye to this lovely young man, My Beloved called to say he would be ready for the journey home in around 5 mins, that gave me enough time to nip back to the butcher and buy the lovely chicken I had seen earlier. The journey home was much quicker, but the near miss with the motorcyclist was a touch on the scary side.
We stopped in by Home Centre to pick up the rest of our wall lights and then headed for The Carmel and home.
Supper was lush, I have always avoided chicken with bones in, one because I hate fighting with my food, and two because I don't see the point of buying chicken by weight when I won't be eating half the dish due to bones being inedible. I have to say those chicken things were lush and I would certainly buy them again.
When we arrived home the intercom had been fitted to the front gate and the phone was now on the wall at the front door, My Beloved decided to test it out from the outside, eventually I let him back in............
