The first time I went to Golders Green which is where the main Jewish community traditionally live, I actually went to visit a Buddhist Centre. But guess what? It was all run by Jewish people. I understand it's a widespread phenomena, young Jewish people getting into Buddhism. The strange thing was, as soon as I stepped out of Golders Green tube station, there was an overwhelming smell of bacon frying! Many Jewish people live in North London now, as more affluent than when they arrived and lived in the East End. Now the East End synagogues have been turned into mosques and it's the Muslims turn to be the newcomers. There a Jewish Museum I keep meaning to visit.
The melatonin worked last night, but I woke up at 5.30 - and went back to bed at about 7.00 and slept till 1.00. I seem to remember the Seratonin waking me up early to start with, so I'm not too despondent. Anyway, I don't feel groggy. i'll try two again tonight and am going to a meditation group which should help. Damn! Just remembered I forgot to phone the Meisner place. I don't think I can shop around as I think it's the only one. But I'll have an interview so I can ask questions then. Still no news from the trade union man. It feels quite exciting though, knowing I can do anything I choose this year and next. I think it will have to be two cassettes as I'd forgotten one of the albums is a double, but I don't play album two very much. I'll put some of my favourite of Adrian's songs on any space left over. When I first heard his music, a friend had tapes it for me on the other side of something I'd asked for, and i really didn't like it at all. After a few plays, it became my favourite.

I think my mother is getting a bit desperate about me, as I was reading out dating ads. in the local paper, and she mentioned you. I'd already told her why that wasn't on, but she seemed to think it didn't matter!!! I sometimes think my mum just sees me as a totally asexual person who just wants her books and some company. Mind you, those are my first priorities. I have to admit, I did know about Jonathan, but he hasn't actually had any sorts of relationships and he was still quite young when I first met him. I thought for him it was just a fear of intimacy and a kind of repressed gynaphobia, you know the mother fixation theory. Well whatever the reason, a nine year relationship is an achievement for anybody. I suppose ultimately it doesn't matter, and certainly having things in common with someone and caring about them is much more important than biological norms. P'raps you'll cure me of my Jonathan instigated prejudice. I just don't like the promiscuity side of things, but then I don't like that whatever.

Your flat sounds lovely. It's nice to live in a community that's very mixed - I like that because I get on with all sorts of people. Like I like intellectual discussions, but I like chatting to old ladies at bus stops too. In fact, I'll talk to anyone! I talk therefore I am, has always been my unconscious motto. I think I'm destined to turn into a Jewish mother.

Love Tigs.
