Purim

Well the cold weather is still continuing although now its March (admittedly only just) I hope spring will come soon. Things are much the same as always I am working on my thesis, although I am still not making as much headway with it as would like although any headway is welcome really...I have been to another bagel lunch and a lunch and learn at manchester at keele Jsoc we have just celebrate Purim with a party (how else should one cleebrate it?) I did the poster but Hannah and Beth did most of the work, it was a fun party. I didn't drink all that much eventhough it was Purim because I need to get up to go to shul the next day to hear the Megilah read. It was a fancy dress party and I went as Sherlock Homes at home, so silk PJ's a smoking Jacket slippers and a deer stalker hat. On my way in this chap stops me and says. 'mate do you know that you're in your pajamas?'. Honestly!
The next day i did get to synagogue were there was a reading of the megilah and gifts and snakes. Fun times all round really.
