Still sewing fancy dress costumes for Purim. Youngest's is ready. She's a doll. Eldest's is nearly ready. She's Little Red Riding Hood. I'm particularly pleased with the red cloak. I've got to make her skirt now. A bit tricky.

Here's another one.

Actually Merav is a friend of mine.

Important message to all visitors from World Arms Forces Forum: You are very welcome, but please be advised that this blog has absolutely nothing to do with Imshin-Y#%' (Login Negev-Warrior) who has been posting on your forum in embarrassingly bad English. I have no idea who he is and I have nothing to do with the strange things he’s been posting on your forum.

And to my usual readers: Yes!! Someone is pretending to be me! Finally! A real live imposter!

Does that mean I’m, like, somebody?

No time to post. Busy making fancy dress costumes for Purim. Details some other time. I can't believe I've left it this late.

Tel Aviv
From the
Steven Spielberg Jewish Film Archive – a film made about Tel Aviv in 1947 (you have to be patient if you want to watch this). 19 minutes of unabashed Zionist propaganda, probably aimed at opening the hearts and the wallets of wealthy American Jews. Parts of the narration are more than a bit embarrassing.

But the pictures are so magical for me. Tel Aviv as it used to be. Clean, sweet, optimistic. My mother-in-law says it breaks her heart to see how Tel Aviv has aged since her childhood in the young city of the nineteen thirties and forties.

Today I had lunch on Dizengoff Street with an old friend. We grew up together in Haifa and in our early twenties we shared a little apartment just off Dizengoff. Sitting together in the sun brought back such memories. Ein ma la’asot (nothing you can do about it), noisy, dirty, busy -- Tel Aviv still has its magic.

Cross posted on Israelity.
