our shipment has arrived!! not quite... it has landed and will now be stored until customs clear it. naturally all storage charges will be paid for by us for their lazy work (perhaps 1 to 3 to 7 days, "we cant know these things"). when they decide to let it go then they'll let us know... "dont call us we'll call you".
ben went to maccabi medical centre to get his healthcare membership card. after the whole ordeal of getting the membership (my process is far more complicated to the girls because i have an israel passport already) i was told at the desk that my card will be arriving at my home today! grrr... offices and offices and phone calls told me i had to come in with appropriate documentation! in the end i cant complain, i got the card. although the guy behind me shouted at everyone in the vicinity, oleh chadash, having problems... "what is this?! its like you dont want us olim!! you send me backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards enough already!", staff:"shhh, get out of here, what do you think you're doing, we're trying to run an organisation here, who do you think you are?!", "dont shushh me, dogs get shushed at, i say what i want"... and so on, in front of the whole floor of people.
it rained today. after the severe warnings on the news....
.... we did get 2 drops of rain that were predicted, before it all cleared off and evaporated speedily. lets hope that awful bout of weather bypasses us next time. 2 drops in somerset means something different i think?!
we went to malcha mall for dinner and a stroll (ring necked parakeets in the car park!). more gruesomely greasy food at the food court, yurgh and orly was very much ready for bed!
back home and relative quiet as both kids were in bed before 8. WOW! really hope yael is better now. the drugs seem to be kicking in thank G-d!
