Time Out

There's also this. The photograph was taken outside Deli Express on Brent Street. We wanted to go and take pictures outside the Shatnez Centre (where they check clothing to make sure it doesn't contain any mixtures of linen and wool. Seriously.) but they weren't too keen on the idea, even without knowing what my novel's about. I think I gave off the wrong vibes. They were perfectly polite, though. I even met one of my mother's ex-pupils from Bais Ya'akov school in the queue of women bringing in suits and winter coats for Shatnez testing.  Shortly after the Time Out pic was taken, I was about to go home and have a migraine. I think you can tell from how cross I look in it.
