Vomit on the screen

I have not written for a while. I'm not sure but it is not busyness or lack of time. So I'm going to write to get over it. This is what we have been doing in no particular order and no particular chronology. I write sitting next to Sharon watching Lipstick Jungle - ugh. So here goes. Ariel broke his arm. Again. He just had the pins out a week out. Everything got infected. It smelt like cheese. We thought it was just sweat under the cast but it was gangrene. All is well and he is off the antibiotics. Worst case scenario is a scar as testament to his parents cluelessness. Lily turned 4. Ariel turned 6. We edge inexorably towards 40. I'm losing my hair. I just applied mud to my face. Feels good. We still have not bought a TV stand so there are wires everywhere. We are going on a round the world trip starting in Israel for New Year, moving to London and then on to New York. Starts in September and ends in October. Ariel started school. He is enjoying it mostly. He wears a cute uniform. They both seem to be getting a bit spoilt. This troubles us. We need to work out whether to keep Lily in preschool or move her to Kindergarten. More cluelessness. We are planning to sell our apartment in Israel. Been a massive pain to maintain from across the globe. Can't see us moving back into it even if one day we move back to Israel. I was in Vegas. Yuck. I was in London for a few days. Great to see family and a few people. Can't believe that B is having twins. How cool is that - go girl. Look forward to catching up when we are all over. Hopefully the kids will not be mares with the jet lag and moving around and meeting lots of people for a month. I'm enjoying my soccer. I still have to set up a poker game. Sharon is playing rugby again - very exciting. Some of her team-mates are nearer in age to Ariel and some of the opposition weigh in at 200 pounds. Here is hoping she does not get injured. The Pope is in Sydney. Brought in lots of "pilgrims". We have a big time Catholic attraction next to the office so Benedict came by in his 20 car cavalcade - serious carbon footprint. My cousin Katy has been staying this week. She is 19 and lovely. We have not lived with a teenager for a while – like since we were. I don't think Katy has lived with people like Ariel and Lily. Katy is here for a semester doing Geography. Last night we went out to the Sydney Comedy club. Pretty good and unlike us. It has been a year since we started our jobs here. Huggies has a very funny new advert on TV. That's it. Photos next time.
