Life update

What have I been up to while I was deprived of internet?

I went to a bar mitzva where I had fun seeing lots of people from shul. A particular rabbi who I've never really got on with that well greeted me like a long-lost friend. I think she recognized me from Hengrave and that connection has a good chance of making people feel well-disposed to eachother.

I saw a silly film with P'tite Soeur, Ma femme est une actrice ('My wife the actress'). It's a very silly rom-com where the husband is ludicrously jealous and controlling, and eventually his wife, the eponymous actress, forgives him for being jealous and they live happily ever after (without ever actually resolving the central problem of the relationship). But it's in French and some of the cinematography and self-referential stuff is quite cute. Eh, it was a free ticket and it was a nice evening out with my sister.

( I graduated! )

Then my aunt R and cousin S turned up from Australia, and various adventures ensued, which I shall report in another post. Also, my house is currently full of film crew.

1] Nachus is a Yiddish word which means, more or less, the feeling that parents experience when their children achieve things. Which is a bit circular; if you translate it as 'parental pride' the sentence will make sense!
