IM BACK

i started think all my fans mustve given up on me. its been a long time since ive written anything on this blog.

but then i realised, people rely on me, they care. they want to know if im still here.

so here we go. yes im still alive and im still in israel and to be honest not much has changed.

the ulpans finishing next week, but since pesach ive realised i clearly do not go. ive had mixed reactions to this - lots of people say im stupid not going cos im wasting an opportunity. but it just wasnt for me. i couldnt concentrate on learning and repeating millions of times verbs and stuff. and i never had good teachers. theydidnt make it interesting or practical or interactive so i just sat there bored out my head. i decided i can learn more hebrew on my own by reading the papers and writing little essays and if i mix with israelis. admittedly i havent made as much effort as maybe i could have done but the thing is i will. this is only the start and ive been working and sorting myself out.

WELL thats my confession over. feel like ive got it off my chest. i truly believe i will eventually fit in and become an israeli.

so, its been a long time since i put any pics up or anything. since i last posted its been my birthday, adriana came to visit and we spent the weekend on a kibbutz on the kinneret, i celebrated yom haatzmaut with a barbeque here, we had a eurovision party and saw shiri come fourth, zoe and marc came to visit from london and we saw all the family. and this weekend i was in gush katif for shabbat with ruthie.

ill put some pics below this. enjoy. more to come. spread the word
