Give a child a pretty name.........

So Sunday the landlady came for a visit and we had a look around the garden just to make sure everything was ok after the storm, fingers crossed the plant life will spring back into action in the spring time, although I have to say I'm a touch confused as to when that will be, 22+ degree heat tends to lead me to the conclusion that the storm we had for a week was the winter and we are now actually in the middle of spring.

After Florette left I biked up the other end of the beach and met in with Katharina for coffee, we met in Gazebo and sat in the sun all afternoon watching the surfers, well we did until our bellies got the better of us and we decided to head up to the main square for a late lunch.  I had a lovely afternoon chatting with Katharina about the people I have coming to visit this year, and the booklet I am looking at putting together for them with visitor information. Katharina gave me ideas for Jerusalem, we spoke about buses and trains, and different places to see in Israel. We ate in the late afternoon sun until we needed to say our goodbyes with the promise of catching up again real soon, I headed home on my bike and waited for My Beloved to arrive and then we headed to the gym.

Monday. Oh dear god My Beloved has received a call from the bank, they have noticed some unexpected activity on his account. Apparently 8 transactions from Walmart appeared within one hour and the bank decided this was unusual, jeeeez can a girl not order knickers............

Tuesday I have no idea what is going on with my sleep pattern just now, but what I do know is this, those bloody moths ate through the newspaper I tied to the lampshade and when I switched on the light the paper fell down, and the moths had managed to cut their way through the newspaper and what fell from the shade was a beautiful paper chain of butterflies, obviously I need to stop taking the pills. I eventually got out of bed and plodded into the shower, just in case I fell back to sleep and had another stupid dream, after my shower my computer and I headed to Landwers for breakfast, I cycled down the beach road and managed to stop my computer flying out of my basket only because I didn't do my usual and hit all the ramps at speed, I'm sure they haven't put speed ramps in for bikes, but its my teeth that are cracking with all the bumps not the car drivers and their over inflated tyres.

I sat with my computer at Landwers after my yogurt and fruit and museli breakfast oh and two cups of caffeine and started to sort through the information I am putting together for all the guests that will be visiting us this year, I was fair chuffed with myself when I eventually shut the lid as I was pretty much finished and if I say so myself it was pretty damned good.

SHAME I DIDN"T FECKING SAVE IT, when I got home I opened the computer to find that the work I had been doing all morning was no where to be seen, I couldn't even find it in the trash, to say I was raging would have been an understatement, I could do no more than to start again.

Today is election day and My Beloved should have been off work for the day, unfortunately he had a lot of work to get sorted so was in until around 2pm, we then decided to take a trip to Tel Aviv to see the street artists in Hatachana, BAD MOVE when we eventually got through the traffic we were then stuck in another jam trying to find a parking space, we did no more than head out towards the New Tel Aviv port, we still couldn't get anywhere close so we headed home, very, very slowly as even the homeward bound traffic was horrendous, note to self when its a public holiday take the bus if they are running!!

This evening I was speaking with the Demonic one about her trip over in the summer, we are going to get her and my granddaughter over in July sometime and she thought it would be a good idea to inform me that she is still called by her maiden name of Williams as she has not sorted out a new passport since getting married in 2007, but what is worse is she informed me that her driving license is also in her maiden name of Williams, that's not the worst of it, she doesn't know how it happened, she is not even sure if it is her fault or the DVLA but her driving license now states she is known as Mrs L Vagina L Williams, give me strength, she also informed me she has purchased land which now makes her 
Lady L.Vagina L. Williams I am speechless, she of course on the other hand finds this hysterical especially when pulled over by the police and they get her name wrong and she informs them it is in fact Vagina as stated on her driving license.
