Very First Entry

I have long resisted the temptation of laying out my life and thoughts on the internet for all to see, but 2 weeks ago I up and left the UK to emigrate to Israel. I have since spent many hours updating my family on my goings-on, and many hours plodding slowly through the many tasks that await a new immigrant (who also happens to be getting married in two months).

In the interests of not being too annoying to the few people I am in regular contact with, I have decided to chronicle my journey in this blog (imaginatively named for the many adventures I intend to have). It will also allow me to recount my many frustrating experiences without sounding like a "negative nelly" - though they sound like complaints I actually share them because they are, with hindsight, rather funny.

So, here goes.
