Shalom Mic
Before i get going i guess i should come clean on one point - i'm not 100% sure if you're of the masculine or feminine persuasion! i once worked in an office where there was an israeli woman called Mici but assume that was short for Michaela or similar, so i'm putting my money on you being a bloke - but please confirm before this goes off the rails!

So i better stick to stuff i do know about - like Me.

When I was a student i studied languages (french & german) which was actually mainly literature. I nearly studied the wrong thing - I was supposed to change to Law after the first year but thank god i never did, life's too short to be a lawyer.

Glad to hear about your new job - hope it goes well for you and you enjoy it.

I think we got paired up on 121 because I'm also really into music & movies.

I've got a few more years under my belt than you and i don't know if i can say for sure whether i've found my purpose in life. But as Jean-Paul Sartre said: you've got to be philosophical about it.

I live in London where i grew up. It's a fabulous city, i still love it after all these years. Often i'll just go out to a part of the city i don't know well with a camera and just wander about, taking photos and exploring the back streets. Have you ever been to London?

The picture up above is one i took recently in Chalk Farm, North London. It's graffiti by a London-based artist called Banksy. I'm currently working on a web project about public art.

I'm going to sign off now as I went to an Oscar night party last night and didn't get home til nearly 4am. It was in a very old cinema called The Electric Cinema in Portbello Road, West London. Mind you what we call very old in London is not quite the same as what you call very old in Tiberias. Joe Strummer walked these streets. Jesus Christ walked those shores (if you believe in all that).

So tell me a bit about where you live. Do you live in the town? And where do you work? Have you always lived there?

Delighted to be sharing this blog with you.

All the best from London town
