Special Projects
Mood:  chatty
Now Playing: Mr Benn
Well yesterday was pretty uneventful after Synagogue. My mind was racing with what Rabbi Goldberg has in mind as a special project. I have no idea what he means as I haven't been tapping his phones recently, but it's not a term he would use very often so it must be serious. He said he'll discuss it with me just before I go to Iran so maybe it's to do with that.
Talking of Iran, I'll be zipping off there this week, and I'm getting really excited about it. I'm going to do some packing today, and the first thing is my parachute as they've told me they don't have any spares in Tel Aviv. Probably won't leave much room for much else as El Al are pretty tight fisted about their hand luggage and I like to carry the thing with me in case of hijackings or anything. I'll be taking a couple of black outfits and of course my newly made Hare Krisna robes on the grounds that they are not too keen on Jews in that part of the world for some reason. Sadly I'm not going to be able to take any Milk Tray or Pepsi Max with me, I just don't have the room.
Of course when you go somewhere different, people want little souvenirs. I've already told you that councillor Liebeman wants some nice pictures of the new Mosques. Benny wants me to nick a rug from one of them, and one of the other guys has given me a challenge to fly an Israeli flag from the top of the oldest mosque in Qom. Don't know if I'll get time to do that. When I asked my mates at work if they'd like anything special, a couple of them piped up that they'd like to see me come home in a box. I was planning to fly back, but I'll check the postage costs, might be able to save myself a few dinaris, plus I can save some wear and tear on my bike if I get posted directly to the hospital. Maybe that's what Rabbi Goldberg wants to talk to me about, he wants something special from the duty free shop or something.
There are times I hate quiet weekends, you can only polish your weapon so many times. So this weekend I decided it was time to give the DVD a run out again. I haven't been watching much TV lately what with everything going on, so I decided to go down the Kosher rental store and see what I could find. I picked up a nice little box set of 'Love Boat' as I've had dreams about ships all week so I was hoping this would help me get them out of my system. Once again the title is very misleading as I thought it would be all about boats, but no. It's some crappy American thing about a cruise ship. It's a real let down let me tell you and I had to watch a few of the DVD's just to make sure, you know how sometimes they do a 4 or 5 part special about one particular boat and that's what I thought I was watching. I was hoping to learn about that Chinese Aircraft Carrier I mentioned the other day which must be pretty unique to have the only Spanish captain in the Chinese navy. I haven't been able to find out about that anywhere, so maybe it's a very hush hush alliance. I'll mention it to my contacts and see what they say.
Ok, time to cycle down to the Bagel Bake, you can't beat a hot Bagel on a Sunday.
Shalom.
