Wow, has it really been nearly a year since the last update?
Well, the answer is yes and what has happened since then?
Lots of work, travelling for work, meeting people for work.
So, it's all work, work, work.
And in between that managed to date two really great guys and still going out with one guy.
Going to the big JNF party on October 1 in Old Billingsgate. I think that used to be the fish market or meat market. If it is the old meat market, pretty apt for a Jewish singles type of event to be held there.
Here's a link to JNF. www.jnf.co.uk
Anyway... I might even do an update next month.

Taking a blog break
Ok, so things are busy. Life is busy, work is busy and so something has to give. The result: This blog is going to take a break, maybe a month, maybe two months or maybe even longer.
It has been fun over the past few months, so thanks for all your emails. Keep them coming, I may even respond.
Love, hugs and happy shopping

Updates or lack of them!
Ok, so i have not updated for nearly a month. No doubt you want to know why? As always, it is down to time.
This month, my exploits have included:
1. Travelling to Moscow (weekend), New York (long weekend) and Manchester (just a long week!).
2. Work is busy and responsible for the three trips as detailed in point 1.
3. Bought a bicycle, then sold it to my cousin two weeks later as realised I didn't really want it.
4. Meet a lovely new man.
5. Meet the lovely new man's mother and father.
6. Invited to Shabbos meal with lovely new man's family.
7. Saw i-Robot in the West End. Came away feeling, what was it trying to achieve. Poor intro, great middle, pathetic ending. No real twists. Great special effects. But of a let down.
8. Bought Planet Funk debut album. Even though it came out last year, great album. Also, car advert on TV uses their song.

New update - official British weather sucks
Well, it has been nearly a month since my last posting and been getting emails asking what I have been up to.
Well, here it is:
1. Been travelling for work to New York, Moscow and Berlin.
2. Weather in all three cities far better than London.
3. Caught in flooding in London.
4. Bought a bicycle and then sold it two weeks later to a cousin.
So nothing really exciting other than the usual day-to-day stuff. Wake up, go to work, stay at work, go home. Have fun at weekends.

Things Jews just don't talk about - but should...
On a girls night out we discussed some of these issues that Jews just seem to avoid talking about but really need to raise awareness about.
1. Haggling over the price of a bris with the Mohel.
2. Haggling over the price of a wedding with the Rabbi.
3. Haggling over the price of the suggested "donation" for an aliyah.
4. How many Jewish men use sex toys on themselves.
5. Is the Rabbi of the synagogue you belong to actually any good?
6. Why Grape Juice without a certificate is not kosher. There's nothing wrong with grape juice but we get all het up over it. Welch's Grape Juice is great, but why should Jews feel guilty drinking it?
7. What is the point of the UK chief rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks. Does he actually serve any purpose other than getting a well paid job of over £100,000 plus he gets lots of extras on the side including freelance writing, book deals etc.
8. Why the United Synagogue and Federation in the UK should merge.
9. How come the biggest anti-semites tend to be Jews?
10. How come some kosher places to eat are filthy dirty and the food is not not prepared in a hygenic way, yet people still eat in them.

Day 3 into new job
Well, it is now day 3 of my new job working on a "top secret" new business to business magazine.
Working with the editor for our launch in early 2005. The mag is "hush hush" as they say but covers what I'm interested in: money, shopping and travel.
One nice perk of the job is quite a bit of travel. Should be going out to Berlin next month to write about a casino based there as part of a feature we are doing on gambling across Europe.
I quite like Berlin and have been there on quite a few occasions.
In September, there's a trip arranged to Monte Carlo looking at the impact of Formula 1 and how much money it brings to principality. Will London benefit from having Formula 1 in the West End?
When not travelling, edior and I will be busy planning issues and working on ideas. Even though the mag is months away, there's still plenty of work to be done.
Next week, editor is interviewing for a couple of staff writer jobs and he's asked me to join him at the interviews.
I like being thrown into the deep end and editor knows it. It brings out the best in me and more importantly, I'm working with someone who knows their staff which means I can actually learn a lot as well.
