Family Ties

Yesterday was Family Day in Israel, at least that was what mrs. anglosaxy led me to believe...personally I don't see the point of having a Family Day when they are so close anyway. And isn't every Saturday enough? Obviously not - though the bright spark that came up with the idea of making it a weekender deserves his neck wringing...

So off we went last night to get a little something for mama and papa anglosaxy. They had also looked after Z while we'd been up north over the weekend so we felt like we should splash out on some ice-cream (yep, I know how to live in style...) - "but make that the smallest box you have guv'nor"...

Papa anglosaxy was in a wine mood, so we sacrificed a bottle of something Australian before getting down to the nitty gritty of the Arab/Israeli conflict - always an entertaining topic after a few glasses...eventually Eli Yatzpan (BIG talk-show host/comic over here) took control of the living room and was actually quite a laugh (we have Yes satellite TV so don't get to watch him). Aaah, the in-laws, nothing like a quiet night in by the fire with 'em (that'll be the wine talking)...

Continuing in the family vein...Sis, I shall never forgive you for your buying of Devil Woman and Carrie(?) Cliff records, especially now he has been crowned the ultimate UK pop star. I shall have to take a long, hard look at your record collection next time I'm over...*big sigh*
