The blog is a bit like me - it's only loosely based in reality. Friday, September 30, 2005. New Year - and the same old stories. Well, unsurprisingly, the Irish doc didn’t call (but then they never do, do they? You can’t move in Scrappino’s class for Zaks and Ethans and Harrys. What the hell are they going to do with a story about a chap called Yankel? Houses in the forest? Why do Rabbis always tell stories about merchants and fish and old women living in forests? Posted by R.x at 6:53 pm. Of course, tha...

[Calm down Mum - not THAT wedding dress.] I have found a dress to wear for CJD's wedding in Texas. MS asked me if it had "Looking for a millionaire oil-tycoon husband" written across it. I told him no. But it is figure hugging and strapless - so as good as. You can see a picture of it here. Top left hand corner - Adriana). Now, do you think I should get the matching shoes? Like some ...

The blog is a bit like me - it's only loosely based in reality. Thursday, July 28, 2005. Going out on a school night. So THIS is what single life is like when you don't have kids. I'd always wondered. Scrappino is staying with my folks for six weeks, and while the cat's away. Tuesday night I went to see the wonderful production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Ah, Adam Cooper. Did I not mention him earlier? Posted by R.x at 1:47 pm. Monday, July 25, 2005. In the work place, the issue goes global. In all the ...

I wince the whole way through. And I tell myself every year that this time, I'm not going to bother. But then May comes around and I'm glued. In the end thou...

The blog is a bit like me - it's only loosely based in reality. Friday, October 28, 2005. That said, I really do want to share something that happened over the past couple of days. So, with the requisite advance apology to Scrappino, here is the story. So, on Tuesday, we went to the O2. We had lunch at Nandos, watched a film (Wallace and Gromit) and then went into Books etc and had a browse. I chose a guide book to Athens (have I mentioned that I am going on holiday to Athens next week? Scrappino I expla...

The blog is a bit like me - it's only loosely based in reality. Monday, January 31, 2005. A price far above rubies. In preparation for the big day we spent a year learning about Being a Jewish Woman. This, in a nutshell, consists of the following:. 1 How to kosher liver. Liver has been sold ready-koshered for over 40 years. Despite this, we spent 3 consecutive sundays (and remember, I was 12 at the time! Learning about salting meat and leaving it for an hour. In a bucket. Or was it a tray? Answers on a p...

The blog is a bit like me - it's only loosely based in reality. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Why is life never simple? Once we were out of earshot of my friend she asked me So, erm, can I ask you a personal question? Note to self the next time a perfect stranger asks you whether they can ask a personal question, say no). Sure I replied, fire away . Slight pause from my walking companion. How do you find it, being a Jewish gay single-mother? Posted by R.x at 5:51 pm. Thursday, November 24, 2005. It's an ex...
