I’ve succombed to place an Abercrombie order after relentlessly checking to see whether my jeans of choice are in stock and failing (miserably). Plan now is to exchange them for the right size. Q is will this method be as fruitful? #weshallsee

“Can you dish up dinner whilst I pray?” Husband
“No, sorry. I’m not moving.” Me
“Ok I’ll go upstairs and pray for your soul…” Husband
😳
A man & just a man. I was on the train today, a man snuck & sat as one was available whilst many women, (traveling with luggage) stood. He left the train. Another man, bravely asked “you want to sit down?” He must have asked 3-4x - once content, nobody wanted to sit, he sat down. A real man. #kind
Why is Iran a threat and not Israel when it concerns nuclear ambitions?
Hahahahahaha
👏🏽
Been cleaning like a headless chicken. Valuation coming in tomorrow. Haraka baraqa! Keep moving. Keep doing. God is the best of planners!
After three years of having our cars stolen along with priceless memories of our baby, all whilst we were asleep. My insurance premiums have finally come down. Still double of what I was paying. But can’t even tell you how much it went up post claim. To all the hood rats, go get a job! #carthieves
100k turned up to Tommy Ten Names’ hate march last year.
500k showed up to today’s protest against fascism and the far right.
Love wins.
Brining my tiny 1kg chicken. Roast dinner tonight. Feeding the lurgy’s well. In anticipation to being able to breath and smell again. Wah wah wah!
Post Ramadan blues supplemented with sickness (one mighty virus!) missed a conference I was so excited about and missed work too! Feel meh 🫤…
PS yes kids at reception have sponge like memory, my 5 year old knows the 9 x table, that blows my mind. That’s an amalgamation of our obsession with numbers & letters & hers with Number blocks! Screen time is capped, selective & limited. I have zero guilt! home.oxfordowl.co.uk/at-school/re...
Start as soon as you can. Yes! Absolutely kids learn through play but they also learn through repetition and routine and boundaries. It doesn’t have to be “boring” it just needs to start early! #earlyyears
We noticed just how important it was when our youngest was off for a week with respiratory issues. We asked for work to be sent home and yet, she still struggled, took us weeks to catch up. We’ve since spread this like wildfire among friends, it is so important to highlight the impact it has!
From as early as reception, we repeat and reiterate numbers/letters and then reading is in addition to that. Our kids have impeccable attendance. Unless it’s the hospital/religious reasons, we must go to school. We do not miss education; we treat it as we do work.
Two out of three of my kids has been described as showing “greater depths”, one has dyslexia but still excelling. Why? Ever since they were young, reading is a must before bed, daily. Twins still do this and they’re now 13. As does youngest. Homework or not, best believe we are recapping everything.
(with # 3) sadly as our career has progressed… we’ve compromised what we do as we don’t feel like we have the brain space as much. Anyway, back to early years. With all our kids, we’ve initiated numbers, letters, creed, reading from the get go, through play and literal learning…
Development matters & reception for growing children is a missed opportunity. We’ve got 3 children, with thanks to God. All have been raised with similar values/routines. I’d say, with us being younger with twins, they benefited from our strength/energy, we did much more then at w/e than now.
Mortgage renewal, statements required from the last three months.. Reminding myself of how much my account gets rinsed over Christmas and quite the contrast to Ramadan. Where the spending isn’t as selfish, but more selfless. #thoughtprovoking
For what?
The UN reports over one million displaced in Lebanon as Israeli attacks escalate, with children accounting for one-third.
‘You cannot kill a culture’. Eating Palestinian food, learning about Palestinian music, literature and art is an act of resistance 👊🏽❤️
Watercolour drawing of Green Street, Cambridge with the figure of a young woman in a green dress striding along and a few lightly-sketched bicycles.
I have produced quite a few paintings and drawings of Green Street in Cambridge over the years. Here's a watercolour and ink sketch showing the western end as it goes into Trinity Street. Not sure if I still have this one.

DOJ releases interviews with girl Trump allegedly raped after others found them and pointed out the government unlawfully withheld them.
DOJ's explanation for why they withheld the interviews? They were "duplicative."

Oh good it’s ’trying to work out if that person who just sneezed on me on the train has hayfever or the plague’ season.
How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?
When Donald Trump says ‘nuclear weapons’ it sounds like ‘no clear weapons’. So when he said ‘Iran has no clear weapons’ it might be the closest he’s ever come to telling the truth.
I am on Juz 10 still… 😭
What countries has Trump attacked since returning to office?

No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.
