SHABBAT THE SABBATH

TODAY IS FRIDAY AND TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO OUR FRIENDS FOR DINNER. THAT IS SHABBAT DINNER. THE JEWISH SABBATH. WE WHERE INVITE TO THE FRAME FAMILIES SHABBAT DINNER TO SAY TA DA AS THEY'RE MOVING TO THE U.S.A. IN 4 WEEKS TIME. MICHAEL WORKS FOR THE MOD AND HAS BEEN DEPLOYED THERE FOR 3 YEARS. BETH THE MUM CAN'T WAIT AS SHE ORIGINATES FROM NEW JERSEY. THE 2 BOYS WILL HAVE A BIT OF A CULTURE SHOCK WHEN THEY GO TO SCHOOL IN WASHINGTON D.C.. SCHOOLING IS SO VERY DIFFERENT IN THE STATES. ESPECIALLY PRIVATE SCHOOL. BY FAR IT'S A BETTER EDUCATION, BUT A HELL OF A LOT OF DOSH TO PAY OUT PER CHILD PER YEAR. ANYWAY, THEY'RE THE MOST RELIGIOUS JEWISH PEOPLE WE KNOW AND HAVE BEEN GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO INVITE US OVER AND ENJOY THIS WONDERFUL RITUAL. WE ARE GOING TO MISS THEM. WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER FAMILY TO VISIT STATESIDE. WE WISH THEM ALL THE LUCK AND HAPPINESS.

DIRTY JOBS

HEY, HEY
IT'S FINALLY SUNNY HERE IN LONDON TOWN. JUST DOING THE DIRTY JOBS LIKE HOUSEWORK (NO CIGARETTES). BORING............ NEED TO START LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT AFTER THE KIDS EASTER BREAK. I THINK I'M GOING TO LOOK FURTHER A FIELD THAN MY USUAL 'PSYCHOTHERAPY' WORK. POOR BUGGERS HERE IN EAST LONDON, SO MANY MENTAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO MONEY FOR TREATMENT, OR THEY JUST DON'T WANT SELF HELP. MEANING NO WORK FOR ME. I'M REGISTERED UNDER THE BRITISH COUNSELLING CODE OF CONDUCT PEOPLE, AND I HAVE NO SCOPE FOR MY PAYMENT CHARGING PRICES. I HAVE TO STICK TO THEIR PRICES AND THAT'S IT. I NEED A JOB.........I NEED A JOB..............I NEED MONEY..............HELP.................WHAT SHALL I DO.............YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE PACKED MY BAGS AND FOLLOW THE WHO...........IT'S NO FUN BEING A GROWN UP ANYMORE WITH RESPONSIBILITIES...........HEY, I BETTER DO SOME THERAPY ON MYSELF OR SOME MEDITATIONS. THAT'S TONIGHT IN MY SPIRITUAL CIRCLE.
