Newcastle

Yesterday, I went to Newcastle for a meeting that unfortunatly didn't go well. Because I wasn't sure at what time the meeting would end, I booked a hotel for the night. I took the train to Newcastle and upgraded myself for 10 pounds to first class for better seats and free drinks and snacks. It was a great journey.
When I entered the hotel to check in, the first thing I noticed was the smell of paint.
"Yes, we are renovating," said the clerk and asked me for a 10 pound deposit for the key card. I went up to my room. It was a small room and I could smell the paint from there. I went to use the facilities and suddenly, the fire alarm went off! I jumped up and ran downstairs to the lobby.
"Oh, don't worry, we are doing a fire drill!" said the clerk. I went back upstairs and every few minutes the alarm went off.
My sensory issues went into overload.
I checked out and booked into the Holiday Express instead. There the room was great and I felt a lot better.
I went to the meeting, which as I said wasn't so great and afterwards I took a bus to Gateshed.
My Mother has 3 siblings in Gateshed, so I went to visit my Mothers sister, Judy, then my Aunt and Uncle Shalom and Rochy, who also are related to Esther, my wife, so it's double relations, and finaly my Uncle Danny and Rochy.
I haven't seen them for years, so it was good to see them and catch up.
I went back to the hotel, had a bite to eat and went to sleep.
This morning, I woke up and had a shower, great shower head and good stream of water, went down to breakfast with good food and plenty of options. I checked out of the hotel and went shopping in centre of town. From there, I went to a coffee shop to meet my friend Gary Spedding, a true peace activist and someone I admire for his activism despite having a hard life.
I upgraded my train back for just 5 pounds. Smooth journey.
My meeting didn't go well, but at least I had a good time.

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...
