Last day in England (hopefully)

It is my last day at work today until I go away. It has been a fairly gentle day, most of the staff know that I am going and have praised me for my bravery (though I think they overestimate the challenge as I know Highway Projects would not let us go anywhere dangerous).

Todays fly in the ointment was the news of a suicide bomb attack in West Jerusalem and I am just awaiting news from HP to see if there are any changes in plans.

The bombing took place in Rehavia West Jerusalem. We were never going to go to West Jerusalem anyway as it is already known to not be the safest place, but we do have placements in East Jerusalem (old city) and I am wondering if they will continue, and if we will still have a chance to visit the old city.

My own placement is in Nazereth, and unless the trip is cancelled entirely I don't forsee any need to make changes in those plans.
