Lazy Blogger

It's aaaages since i last posted. In fact i've moved house TWICE in the meantime. I could ramble on about how stressful it all was but as, overall, the move has been a success and has resulted in general feelings of contentment, I won't.
Instead, i'll be a lazy blogger and post a list:

10 Things That Are on My Mind

1. Free Gaza broke the shameful blockade and reached Gaza, Huuuraaay!
2. One of the boats is attempting to leave Gaza tomorrow with several Gazan University students on board- I pray they manage to leave Gaza as safely as they arrived.
3. The Banana, walnut and date bread in the oven smells truely amazing.
3a. I forgot to put the dates in.
4. Work work work. In a good way.
5. I wonder what's in the box my mum and dad brought over for me today? I can't open it for another 20 days.
6. Will my new colleagues think i'm wierd if i decide to fast with them even though I'm not muslim?
7. Will family X from Algeria win thier asylum appeal? What will we all do if they don't?
8. I've started knitting a cardigan even though I'd decided to knit only small things, but the wool was a bargain so.....
9. Will it ever stop raining? Will my Lobelia survive the high winds? (This might count as two).
10. I want to go to Palestine for the olive harvest- www.palsolidarity.org - but can't take the time off work (as I've only just started). This will be the first harvest i've missed in 5 years. I miss the smell of Beit Lahem, the sounds of Al Quds, the welcome of Nablus and the mountains around Al Walajeh.
