Thank You Blogger

This blog has proved to be very useful over the last few days. Friends have been calling me up to say hello and when they hear that I'm not exactly feeling great and ask why, I just tell them to go to my website and read all about it. Fortuitously, these people happen to be online at the same time, so they have a quick glance, read about my foot, thigh and digital camera.....lo and behold, I get the sympathetic comments, without having to explain anything.

Some better news is that I had a phone call from the camera shop, who will be sending me a voucher in the post to replace the camera and my school is closed yet again, which allows me to spend the day packing for Sunday. As it's turned out, half-term has been extended by two days, which can't be a bad thing.

So, if you know me and you're considering ringing up, please have a look at these posts and then I don't have to explain why I don't sound as chirpy as usual. Then again, any sympathy is greatly appreciated, whether or not you're online...

I'm pondering whether I'm finding my marriage or parenthood more challenging right now. My throat is raw from all the screaming I've done at the kids over the last few days and my T.Q (temper quotient) is at an all time low. You sneeze at the wrong volume and I'll bite your head off. I'm an absolute bastard to live with and I know it. I prefer not to engage in conversation with any of the family because I can't be bothered to be sociable. At least on my blog, I can let my emotions rip, without someone interrupting my rant. The underlying cause for it all? It could be a growing sense of panic that school is approaching and I really haven't done any preparation yet. When I sit down to start work, I get a feeling of total paralysis...

Heavenly Fires - Dvar Torah for Parshat Acharei Mot-Kedoshim She was the largest of her type and class. It is said that passengers on the LZ 129 Hindenburg Zeppelin Airship couldn’t tell when she had disembarked as her launches were so smooth. 80 years ago, on 6 th May 1937, she caught fire over Lakehurst, New Jersey and crashed into the ground in a coruscating ball of fire. 36 people, including 13 passengers, 22 crew and 1 member of the ground unit died. Among the dead was Captain Ernest Lehmann, highly respected and experienced in piloting German airships, but who was later criticized for often making reckless manoeuvres that compromised the airship’s safety. The explosion’s cause is still unknown, despite numerous theories propagated since. On the eighth day, dressed in his magnificent Priestly robes, he faced the throngs of people, staring in disbelief at the sight. The Mishkan (Tabernacle), gleamed in the hazy midday sun, a structure whose presence owed its being ...
