Feeling rather stiff after the fall from the bike and the two day DOMS I slithered out of bed and went about my tasks before I realised I was actually supposed to be collecting the car, and then collecting Julie for our trip to HaCarmel Market Tel Aviv, so I rushed around running through the shower, stopping only long enough to get the soap off, then I was on my way to the Office, now I decided today to try a different bus route, and yes the bus does take me to the office, which really is walking distance, but it went via the Marina, so I was almost at the office before the bus doubled back to the Marina, then headed back to the office, but at least I know that the 13 heading to the office will get me to the Marina, which has to mean that it will get me back from the Marina too, you gotta think food shopping.
So I collected the car, then I collected Julie and we headed into Tel Aviv, and having checked with google for the nearest car park, I was heading towards the beach before we knew it. We found a space, parked the car and headed into the market, a wonderful place full of delights to please even the most miserable of people, first stop was coffee, then it was time for sewing needles and thread for Jason, do you know how difficult it has been to find these simple things. Then we headed for the start of the market and worked our way back, through the fruits and vegetables to the spices and dried fruits, and the cheeses and store after store was a feast for the eyes, and the prices were ridiculously cheap, I had to keep reminding myself we are out for the next couple of evenings or my fridge would have been overflowing with goodies.
We found our way back to the car and headed home, but not before taking a trip to the butchers in Herzliya, now this man has great meat, but if I tell him once, I tell him dozens of times don't schnitzel the chicken, today just like all the others he ignored me and cut my lovely chicken breast against the grain, I swear I am going to have to schnitzel him before he takes any notice of me.
Homeward we went and having dropped Julie back to her apartment I then wrestled with the oven, the damned thing is so irritatingly obnoxious, I set it to top and bottom oven, which meant that the outer ring of the grill was on, and left it to heat up, this took quite a while but eventually I was able to put in my dishes, the trouble is opening the door to put the dishes in loses all the heat and it takes an age to come back to temperature, don't think I will be trying cakes for a while.
I collected My Beloved from work and he headed to the gym, whilst I carried on with the supper, not feeling like the gym today mostly due to a tricky back and sore arms from my gym sessions two days ago, lifting those veggie bags today was a touch torturous let me tell you.
We had a quiet evening in just chilling after dinner, well we would have been chilling had we been able to get to grips with the air con, still can't quite get the settings right, I personally am convinced it has something to do with the swimming pool next door and the sauna and steam rooms underneath us......
