man plans - God Laughs


Yesterday was a crazy day. I planned to stay home and relax, but when man makes plans god laughs.  
It started off with Esther discovering she needed a spice for cooking, so I went to Tesco. 
I can't just go shopping for 1 thing, so I bought a whole lot more stuff - almost 70 pounds in shopping.  
Then came the next saga.  
My younger brother went with his whole family to israel for his brother in laws wedding. They were supposed to arrive back on Sunday Evening on Easy Jet, but the incoming flight was delayed so long that outgoing flight was cancelled. My brother and family were placed in a hotel overnight and were supposed to fly the following day, i.e yesterday, at 14:00. However, that flight was also delayed and only took off at 18:21 with 2 hours of that delay sitting not knowing what is going on, and some of that delay also sitting on the plane on the tarmac due to a technical failure with the radar at Ben Gurion Airport.  
I felt bad for him so I went to the shops, brought drinks and fruit and went to the airport to meet him and give him a care package. 
After he came out I checked trains to Manchester Piccadilly, but there were none for the next hour so I decided to take a tram to Victoria. When I got to Victoria Station, I discovered I had missed the last tram to near my flat, so I went outside only to discover I had missed the last bus by one minute. With no recourse, I ordered an uber and got home.
Yes, it was a busy day and unplanned, which is hard for us autistic people, but i am satisfied as I made people happy, whether my wife or my brother, and thats what's life is all about. Not money or time, it's helping others that counts. . ....

Talking of helping others thank you to Liz Tal who is editing this blog while Rachel Risby-Raz is in Australia.

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
