Day 12 - Strange Prayer-fellows

So pretty much all of today I've spent trying to re-do my folio for the architecture conference tomorrow..I've now given up and know I won't finish and will have to just walk around gathering emails and will send the firms my folio when I finish it on Friday! Pretty much a downer on my part, but hey, I tried! And I forgot the thrill of the last minute Archi Rush to finish, the only difference is that this time, the work is for me and I have no image of a crazy eyed Tutor who will kill me tomorrow if I don't finish!

So to today's photo! It happened first thing this morning actually..

Day 12 - Wednesday 26 May 2010

I wanted to wake up at 8am to go to prayers, to start the day early and get more time to work on the folio (because I knew I'd waste time so I wanted to maximise - wasting was done visiting the bank and lunch with Josh!) but you know me and wake ups, that snooze button just looked to good! So it got pressed..and I woke up at 8.44am..not such a biggie..but not getting out of bed until 9.10ish was!

I got ready and left the house, and got to the Shteiblach just after 9.15am - so I joined that minyan anyway, regardless that I was late. I was standing at the back, when a nice man came and signaled to me that there was a spare seat next to him, so I went over to sit. The guy on the other side kept kind of turning around and looking and then facing forward again, so I took no notice until just before Shma. Thinking I'd take a quick look and then get back to it I turned my head, and turns out it wasn't just anyone, it was a old friend from Eretz HaTzvi, Daniel! This got me smiling and kind of laughing..

Was nice to chat after-wards and catch up, me having made aliyah, him having been married! But that's why today's photo is of the Shteiblach, (not such an artistic one, just a quick shot of the inside of one of the prayer rooms) because had I have done everything that I wanted to do in the order I wanted to have done it today, I never would have seen DRob..that's real Hashgacha Pratit (Divine intervention) and another one of those things that makes me smile and realise, yeah, I'm living in Israel, the home of the Jewish religion..

Plus my bed arrived today! And I reshuffled the room so it looks all good now..I'll keep that pic for a spare one for a day when I forget for real!

Have a great day all and keep smiling =)
