Now Playing: The Jewish Harp
Yesterday was a little bit strange. Went to the Synagogue early to set up the security screening as I always do, only to get there and find I wasn't needed. When I asked Rabbi Goldberg he admitted he'd been doing a little bit of budgeting and found that my fee of a couple of cream cheese bagels was a little high, especially as he had to go to a rather dubious source to obtain fresh ones on a Saturday. He said he'd been contacted by a couple of rather nice Russian gentlemen who said they'd take care of things for free. Now I don't really have much time for the Ruskies, trust me the KGB were nowhere near as tough as many made out, and I'm more than a little hurt they have come and stamped on my territory. There is an unwritten rule between secret agents that you don't tread on another's turf. Anyway I have to ask why they are willing to do it for free, Rabbi Goldberg knows that you don't get something for nothing, he is Jewish after all.
Councillor Liebeman was also there but didn't seem to want to know me, his wife did approach me and told me that I won't need to learn much Danny La Rue for the foreseeable future, the knitting circle for those brave Israeli boys protecting the homeland is going to be taking up a lot of time. Shamefully I haven't completed a single scarf yet, maybe that's why I'm being blanked.
Benny was there once again, but he chose to hang around in the shadows at the back. I was interested to note that he wasn't wearing anything from his latest fashion collection, and I did manage to collar him for a few words. He's working on a new project for his mates which involves him nicking books from the local libraries and burning them over on Clapham Common. This sort of thing does ring a bell in my head but I can't remember why. Anyway as long as they are all Tom Clancy books it's ok with me.
OK, better get knitting.
Shalom
