I discover my family lied about my mother’s funeral so I wouldn’t fly back for it. I’m beginning to think they aren’t nice people.

She said she’d visited my father’s grave and told him my news. He was, I understand, thrilled by it.

I’ve decided to stop saying goodbye, and start saying hello, instead.

My mother’s in hospital to have a toe removed. Is the operation called a toe-ectomy? A toe job?

A year in Tel Aviv

I arrived in Israel from London in November, slightly dazed. The process of getting here had been smooth, maybe too easy. What would I do here? What would I find? Who would I meet? Would I stay?

White Meat, by the way, is what
Israelis call pork.
