In case you were wondering, it\u2019s still bloody hot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luckily the power cut was temporary and we have partial air-con and fans.\u00a0 It\u2019s fine so long as you don\u2019t move much.\u00a0 Although my laptop is starting to feel like a hot plate.<\/p>\n

We had a visit from a Nefesh representative who was very supportive, especially about our house-buying\/renting situation, and the estate agents we are using.<\/p>\n

There are some great websites where you can find out about properties, but it\u2019s a bit slow if you don\u2019t have great Hebrew, although we are slowly getting to grips with it.<\/p>\n

A warning about estate agents:\u00a0 Don\u2019t use them.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about all I have to say on that.<\/p>\n

The only reason we considered it (as in London we sold our house without one, which saves lots of money) was because we are new in the country, new to the process and we have a baby arriving any minute so we don\u2019t exactly have a lot of time.\u00a0 I have now reached the \u201cnesting\u201d phase where I really want to be settled before baby 2 turns up.\u00a0 Nor do we have a car to drive around and view properties, and pregnancy isn\u2019t really conducive to walking around the hills all day in the heat.\u00a0 So we bit the bullet and took on an agent.\u00a0 We will let you know how that one goes.<\/p>\n

Jojo is still attracting attention wherever he goes.\u00a0 I have been told by several people that we should send him in to the modelling agencies.\u00a0 After my experience with that in London I am not so keen, however if he can help us pay for a decent car perhaps we should exploit him.\u00a0 There are worst things a mother can do….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
