I investigated some more Hebrew classes and have now hooked up to an online course, much cheapness, and plenty help. Unfortunately it took ages for the confirmation to come through, so I decided to take myself off to the shops for a few things I needed, instead of keep hitting refresh and not getting the confirmation email.
10am and the siren went off, yes the bomb siren, I was on the phone to My Beloved at the time, and he said have to go, I picked up my phone and walked to the bomb shelter, the trouble was I had been expecting the siren yesterday, not today, I text Natalie and she called me laughing at me because I was in the bomb shelter, the siren was a one minute silence to mark the end of Holocaust Memorial day, next week there will be another to mark Independence day, and I will make sure I'm up the street for that one, Amy's blog informed me that the whole street came to a stand still, cars, people, everything, so next week I will be in the street to witness this event. My Beloved had gone off the phone as you have to stop what you are doing completely, as a mark of respect.
In the Centre I found paper, and then decided to have a spot of lunch, Mandarin today, and the waitresses are so nice and welcoming, I settled for a 'healthy salad' small please, so my salad arrived piled high with lots of lovely healthy things to eat, cucumber, tomato, bean sprouts, seeds, lettuce, couscous and carrots, I tried in vain to eat my way to the bottom of the plate, wow it was one hell of a dish, I didn't even make a dent before I was full. I finished up and headed back out into the street, next stop the shoe shop, I'm in need of slippers, not the baffy type the mule type, and I found a lush pair, red and made of towelling and these puppies can go in the washing machine.
I then headed to the supermarket for some torture, and I was not disappointed, the till was unbelievable. The young girl behind me decided to move to the till next door, she had her whole basket on the conveyor belt when I woman came over ranting and raving, as the young woman had walked past this woman's trolley, now I never saw this woman at her trolley, and I was at the till for ages, anyway the young girl held her ground. What is it with people that think they can park their trolley and walk around the shop, continuing to pick up things they need, and we are still not talking one item, nutters! Wouldn't happen in Tesco.
I then headed home, and checked on my confirmation email, yep it was in, so now I'm all logged in and ready to rock. So instead of doing Hebrew I decided to tidy the bomb shelter, it's a good name for it, as it contains all the things we haven't quite found a place for yet. I decided to set up the surround sound system to the TV as a surprise for My Beloved and to save him a job, I moved all the photo frames for fear of dropping or breaking them, and so I began sorting out the leads and cables to the speakers. I cut the lead off the system and rewired it to an Israeli plug, then I'm ready, or so I thought, the new TV has no scart lead plug, and we appear to have mislaid the yellow and red and white leads, or any of the other multi coloured leads. Initially I thought the film on the TV was playing through the surround sound, until I realised it was out of sync, and I was actually playing the USB through the surround, and the film was over the top through the TV.
I then began getting supper ready, just a quick supper tonight, Jacket Potatoes with lovely, lushious, mouth watering cheddar cheese. And pate with crackers.
My Beloved arrived home just after 7.30 I think, I never retain numbers, and unfortunately My poor Beloved had loads of work to do so I left him to it and attacked the ironing pile that was peaking around the bomb shelter door, I managed half, and then I sat at my computer and began my Hebrew lessons. Firstly I started with the Alphabet, which once I had that down and understood about the dots changing the sound of a letter I was rocking.
Now if you place a dot over the right branch the symbol becomes sh for shin, but if you put it over the left branch it becomes s, as in small, and if I'm correct no dot is just sh, as in shalom. Now it is a seriously complex language of masculine and feminine, and what Yabba and I decided whilst she was here was the connecting/linking words are missing, which is why when I have come across lovely people who will attempt to speak to me in English, the context of their speech takes my brain a little time to decipher, its kind of like lets throw away the pleasantries and get down to business, the pleasantries are the connecting/links, being British I need them.
I finished up with the Alphabet and My beloved finished his work, and we sat down together, it still took him a huge amount of hints before he even noticed the surround sound, not that it was working but it looks the part, I have learn't that if I need My Beloved to notice anything I have to hang it around his neck........
