Once I was up and on the go, I wasn't much faster than I had been the night before on my walk back from the Crowne Plaza, but I put on some clothes and headed up the street for supplies, Amy was coming so I made sure I had everything in the house that a guest could possibly want, including some rather nifty biscuits from the beautiful bakery shop up the road.
I then went to Chocolate and purchased three new items of ... things, all silver and purely decorative, but they are lush, two large vase type... things, not that you could hold flowers in them, they are full of holes, and one large bowl type thing for the coffee table. And would you believe the lovely ladies in the shop gave me a free box of Belgian Chocolates, and asked me to let them know how my purchases looked.
Back to the house to wait for the garden furniture and finish my soup from Giraffe that I had last night. The movers arrived just after one to bring the garden table and chairs and the BBQ minus its plumbing, very strange why would you buy a BBQ with out the hose and connections necessary to make it work!!! The other funny thing Why is that the movers bring my new furniture and put it together? I can't wait to find out what the delivery men of Israel do!!
Amy arrived just as the furniture was ready for testing, and we spent a lovely afternoon in the sun chatting, over glasses of water, this is what I'm reduced to, 5 days, 5 whole long days and no alcohol, I cant wait for these antibiotics to be finished, they are boring.
Amy is of to Aqaba, Jordan tomorrow for the weekend, sounds like fun, and I will hear all about it when she returns. When Amy had to leave I pottered around and did what was necessary to call myself a Housewife, then once again headed up the street for something tasty to go with the Jacket Tatties I had planned for supper, now Natalie informed me I must try things before I purchase, so when I arrived at the supper market I set about testing the salad bar, but not quite as whole heartedly as the old lady behind me, who I swear lifted the tongs and almost bent her head into the tray to sniff the things on her tongs, if your lifting tongs why do you need to bend into the bowl? I made my purchases and walked up the street, with my new Trolley bag, yes I'm a bag lady, I've said it so it must be true, when I asked the gentleman what colours of trolley bags he had, he said black and white like a tiger, emmmm funniest tiger I have ever seen. But when you have to travel up and down these roads you will understand the need for it, ask My Beloved he has one too......
I trundled my purchases home in my new bag, and set up the supper, My Beloved was very late in leaving Herzliya and was really lucky I had waited because I was hank, and having been off food for a while was finding it a touch difficult to hold off the urge of eating everything I had prepared. When he arrived back I threw the supper at the table pushed in his chair and devoured my dinner, who would have thought something so simple could be so all consuming, we could have had a fire and I wasn't moving.
We popped out just after eight picked up Natalie and took her home, but not before we picked up our new hanging rail that Natalie's Mum had got for us from one of the store suppliers, once we were back we set it up and began hanging clothes on it, what a god send, we can now have our long clothes i.e. skirts, shirts, dresses and jackets, hanging up in one place. I just need to figure out how or who I am going to have to bribe to make be a cover for it,
