My Beloved eventually woke around 6am, and found me already blogging for the day. Once he left for work I carried on sorting through the house and then showered ready for my trip to the University and Noor, I have decided to knock the Hebrew on the head until after the Little Princes leave as I have so many things to take care of before they come, I just don't have the time. Yesterday I tried to get directions to a specific shop, when I asked over the phone if the person spoke English, I was told no, then the phone went dead, I tried google but he just thinks I'm having a laugh.
When I arrived back from the University I couldn't get in the newly electrified gate, key unlocked the snib, but the second catch refused to budge, so I had to do no more than climb the wall and walk up the walled steps into the garden, not an easy task, I had visions of falling and dying on some plant or other that was going to impale me as I fell.
When I left for the shops I spoke with Itzhak and told him the problem, I'm sure I see that man raise his eyebrows. I shopped for hose for the BBQ connections and still havent managed to find a gas tank or the connection yet, although the young guy in the shop did suggest attaching it to the house gas, I don't think that would work we are after all electric... I took my lunch at Mandarin and the lovely girls there were so nice, I haven't been in since before I was unwell and they asked where I had been and if I was ok, so friendly and welcoming, I took the Red Quinoa Tabouleh and mint tea and settled in with my lunch and read through facebook to pass the time, I eventually left and walked home, once again I could not get in the gate, so this time I went to the Penthouse and found Itzhak and Nelly there, Itzhak came down and helped me man handle the gate, which eventually gave up and let me in, this afternoon I had the laziest day, I actually sat down and watched an episode of Waking The Dead, I have managed to record some things on my Hot remote and I can almost always but sometimes not manage to get to watch them.
I rang the Manager from Japanika who had called on Saturday just as we were leaving to go out, he was told I had been unwell and offered us a meal anytime we would like, so tonight we decided we would take up that offer, I always thought I was one in a million, but apparently I'm one in ten thousand, because that is the number quoted for people to take a bad reaction to sushi, I would have preferred it to have been the people on the other tables, but I obviously had the lucky hat on that night. Anyway I booked us a table for 7.30 as was told just to ask for the Manager when we arrived.

My Beloved was late getting back again, he is having an Energy problem, so he jumped in the shower and we walked up to Japanika, we were taken to our Table and Shauli came over and thanked us for coming, the ladies were lovely and helpful, and Shauli bought over a bottle of Wine for us, we ordered our dishes and sat and had a lovely evening, the restaurant was decidedly warm tonight, I think the settings must still be on WINTER, our dishes arrived first was Udo soup with Tempura chicken, and Tuna Tataki for My Beloved, then arrived the Edamame and The Katana combination, we were stuffed to the gunnels and couldn't finish everything, I must remember tempura might be a light batter but bloody hell its filling, so finished a lovely evening, the meal was taken care of by Shauli and we thanked the staff very much for their service and the complimentary meal, we walked home down Wedgewood which was so quiet, I think the residents are getting the hint about the cars and the road works but I dread to think where they are stacking their cars, because this road is generally wall to wall, bumpers and towbars.
