Hello everybody
Last night I acted foolishly and gave into my jet lag, I stayed up all night reading a book because I could not fall asleep and ended up spending the afternoon sleeping on my bed right outside the garden of Uncle Laurie.
When i woke up it was past 4 pm and i let loose with a ... WHOOPS and realized i would have to make the most of the rest of my day, so I started out by finishing the book.
After that i took a quick shower and prepared for a meal out that we were having with, Uncle Laurie cousin Nick and his fiancee Kate, Franches, Warren, Victoria, Auntie Hazel, and of course me. The meal was at a Kosher Chinease Restaurant named Chopstix in Golders Green, in an area i dubbed "Little Jerusalem" because before the meal i had some free time to wander around and ended up finding a Steimatsky israeli book store and I enjoyed having a chance to practice my hebrew which was quite a suprise, waling past the huka bars was quite pleasant suprise.
After more of narrow streets and tons of dirty israelies i realized I was late for dinner at the chinease restaurant, and so i waded my way through the sea of hebrew speakers and to my pleasant suprise discovered that in fact there were many non-jews in golders green as well, as uncle laurie pointed out to me later Golders Green is actually quite cosmopolitan.
After a lovely dinner of which the pictures will be posted as soon as I have the opportunity we wanderd around Golders Green for a little bit and then went home and then went to sleep preparing for the next day When i booked a ticket to take a tour of Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and the Roman city of Bath.

Alon,
Put the book away, get your socks on, pack a lunch and get out the door! There's no sense in reading a book all night and then sleeping away the day! For that you did not need to spend thousands of dollars to travel abroad.
Now wakey wakey and get on with it! How did the day go with Shirley and family?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Love
Abba
