Tisha B'Av - 9th of Av

I've made it through most of the day. The fast finishes in just over three hours and it's been quite an emotional ride through the history of our suffering, which was compensated somewhat by being part of a group of friends who ran special activities for kids in our local Synagogue.

That said, spending most of the day in Shul (syngaogue) has its benefits. not least because I don't have to keep on looking at my watch, waiting for the fast to end. That's the fun kind of thing I can do now that I am back at home.

Did I mention that it's just over three hours until I can eat?.......
