After nine very interesting and fun days in Israel, Mr E and I arrived home again yesterday at the beginning of the evening. I was back at work again today but have my Wednesday off tomorrow (and no appointments for my refugee volunteer work tomorrow afternoon, so it looks like I’ll have a complete day to myself).
I see now that while I was gone I missed a trailer for The Man From Rome! Just before I left, I had seen Mr Armitage as a priest with a gun in a poster. It feels so alien to me to see a priest with a gun, but then again an action star priest is unusual anyhow. I also remind myself that priests fighting isn’t a new thing – it’s been happening for ages between priests from different Christian denominations in the Old City of Jerusalem at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (where Jesus is said to have been crucified and buried). Here’s a nice little article about it in The Guardian from some years ago after another altercation. To avoid any further conflict, the key to the church is kept by a Muslim family, which has been the case for many generations of that family. Those fighting priests prefer to use brooms and fists over guns, though. Anyway, I saw the poster before my holiday…
… but I see that during my holiday I missed the trailer for this movie. When I click on the link to the trailer all I get now is a password protected private video that I can’t view. Bummer! Nothing from the man for ages and then the one week I am gone and completely out of the loop, I miss the trailer… Oh, well, at least some nice gifs have been made for me to enjoy…
So, I’m back again and will in due time catch up on blog posts that I missed. I have lots of pictures and stories to share from my trip and am debating with myself whether I should share all I initially intended to or just stick to a few highlights. Maybe I’ll just start and see how far I get… In any case, normal life is ready to resume again.
