Well my son is well again, Thank G-d!
He was well enough to go to friends for lunch and is running around. We went to soccer this morning and he told off the referee????? so I guess he is feeling fine. I have work so I must go and do it.:-( THANKS TO ALL THOSE who posted wishes and expressed their concern. I feel most grateful. A good year all.

An Unforgettable first night Rosh Hashana
This year despite the fact that Nir had been rather horribly sick, I was looking forward to Rosh Hashana, our New Year. We had been invited out to four meals and I did not have to get food in and cook but had to grace the tables of good friends and just enjoy their company and the Chag, go to shule and listen to the shofar as well as davening (praying ) a little in between looking after my son. It was not to be. I arrived at friends with Nir who was really peaky and washed out. I nearly didn’t...

SHANA TOVA VE METOOKA
I want to wish everyone all my friends and my not so friends, enemies and people lukewarm towards me – a happy and healthy year filled with sweetness and good things for living. Apples and honey to have with round sweet challah tomorrow night. I must make Nir a sweet gluten free round bread of sorts. We blow the shofar or actually a man blows it and the rest of the congregation listens. I love the sound of the shofar. This is a yeminite shofar. This is a Rosh Hashana Challah yummmm, with honey!...

A quick post after an exhausting 24 hours or more!
Yesterday they could not get my tooth out fully and I have still got three roots in and must continue the anti biotics until I get the rest of the tooth taken out. The poor dentist tried and ended up sending me for a cranial X-ray and he is referring me to the Royal Dental Hospital to have it extracted. They will have to cut the jaw bone apparently because the tooth had been so filled. I wish he had not tried it and sent me straight to the dental hospital but it could have gone either way. I was...

Well my son has been sick and it looks like he is on the mend
but he is still very tired and dehydrated, I feel. I am watching TV for the first time in ages. Australian Story and 4 Corners which is very interesting tonight. My tooth comes out tomorrow at 9am. Not looking forward to it. I might put my son into school for half a day while I have it out. Must go. Have a good night all.

The Oddest Shabbat for a long time.
This has really been an interesting weekend so far. I was so looking forward to a peaceful Shabbat. Silly, silly me! When ever I have decided that I am going to have an easy time, Hashem goes,’hhhuumm, I think you need a little shake up or two.’ And events pan out from there. I did not go into cooking for Shabbat mode as we were invited out for the Friday night meal and the Saturday lunch after morning shule. (Synagogue) I had very little food in the house. We were invited to the family of a...

The WCC and a tiring day overall.
Well a very interesting day which meant a steep learning curve for me and a lesson in never, ever trust solicitors or believe that they are acting in your interests. The hearing was at 10 am and the matter had to be discontinued and I will have to refile my application and submit all documents that should have been filed with the submission or application that was presented in June this year. I have sought legal advice and will be going to a QC down here who has had extensive experience with...

Sweet The Perfume- a poem of sorts
Sweet the Perfume from blossoms crushed underfoot ripped by foreign doctrines but not destroyed The secretive scent lingers on Long after visions of flowering fields fade. The essence of souls linked to an Eternal source beyond physical worlds is indestructible. We are here to follow pathways Already mapped out by the master topographer Yet there are choices That define our growth We alone make. C. Ilana Leeds

Saturday Night and ALL is NOT well.
I wish I could say that the world is a wonderful place and that we all loved one another. That would be good but it would be dishonest, because it is not true and as much as I would like it to be true one day, the human race is unfortunately a long way off from that state of perfect and sublime peace and fellowship. My son is watching the Bee movie, a good movie with some interesting sub text and I have to finish Portraits in Sepia - an Isobel Allende novel. It is an interesting novel but I find...
