Who Says Romance is Dead

Well getting out of that bed was a little tricky, not because I was tied up in the sheet due mainly to the fact that I had rolled around the bed making sure I had slept on every inch, but because my head and body seemed to be at odds with each other, the head was already in the pool and had done the work out, the body just needed the energy to catch up, my world was topsy turvy and the only thing I could do was stay where I was until such times as things became normal, this happened sometime around mid morning when I finally managed with loads of effort to drag myself out of my bed and begin the tasks that should really have been finished by this time of day, you know the things, clean face, wash hair and shower.

Once those tasks were finished I set about the house, floors washed and washing sorted, grass swept, patio cleaned, that coptic storm has a lot to answer for, the sand it had deposited in the garden once again was now the colour of red clay, and covering everything, usually in Haifa the colour was yellow like sulphur, but it appears Herzliya has red sand.  My Beloved had informed me when I arrived back that he had been watching water spouts out to sea during the late afternoon, personally I don't care for spouts or coptic storms especially when they make a mess of my garden, and the surrounding streets, once again all the cars have a covering of sand all over them, thankfully we have underground parking.

I almost went to the pool for a swim but imagine my horror when I walked out the front door to see people in my pool, I was so disgruntled I went back inside and sulked.  I did take the bike out, that was after I brushed it down as I say the storm dropped sand everywhere and the bike too quite a hit, so once brushed I set off tot he shops for supplies, I hadn't realised quite how hot it was until I was outside, I presumed because the garden is enclosed it made it hotter, but no it was ruddy hot everywhere, but not just hot, it was very, very humid.  I slogged my way back to the house and waited for My Beloved to arrived home from work.  We hit the gym as soon as he arrived and then supper was made, chicken curry just for a change.

We then took ourselves off for a romantic evening at the cinema, that was once we figured out how to get there, the motor way didn't go the way I expected and we had to do a huge loop to get to where we were before, and would you believe it, all you have to do is a U turn and there you are, at the front door of the cinema, there was no need to go to Tel Aviv at all.

Tickets purchased and popcorn ordered, unfortunately they only have salt in Israel, I had to have some because its the law when your watching a film, but I will be putting my foot down next time as salt just doesn't do it for me.  Anyway our film began, and we were all snuggled into our chairs ready to watch Expendables 2 -
blood, guts, and gore with loads of humour thrown in, I love it. We giggled all the way through, all the favourites were in it, and the one liners were great, I do love romantic films.
