Sunday Day 243 – 30th August
I had booked the Heights of Abraham not realising it was the Bank Holiday Weekend. I then worried the traffic might be a bit crazy around the Peak District area but thankfully no problems at all. Had a lovely day, going up in the cable cars, exploring the caves and taking in the views. Having to wear a mask in the caves was hard though, especially when we had to climb over 100 steps and my glasses kept getting steamed up. Will do a blog post about it all soon.
Monday Day 244 – 31st August
A quiet day today, hubby went to work and we just chilled at home. I started writing up sone blog posts about our recent days out and got a new post live in my hijab series: Wearing Hijab: My Identity and a Political Act.
Tuesday Day 245 – 1st September
Had been planning to go on a day out with one of Bee’s friends today but her friend wasn’t feeling well so her mum had booked a virus test yesterday and I was also feeling run down so we left it. I started watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix on the laptop and let the girls just have a TV day.
Wednesday Day 246 – 2nd September
Feeling run down turned into a full blown cold. Hubby got me Nurofen….don’t know why he doesn’t just get the cheap stuff…its the same thing. I did debate whether to book myself in for a test but it just feels like a cold….runny nose, a bit of sneezing and minor cough. So decided against it. If everyone goes for a minor sniffle they will be over run with people and tests. So annoyed though as had so many plans for this week with it being the girls final week of school holidays…had been wanting to go to a sunflower field and also Windsor castle…but looks like it’s just going to be at home and resting up.
Thursday Day 247 – 3rd September
Totally feeling rubbish today and spent it all day in bed. Was so glad that hubby’s work was quiet and he decided to come home as he then cooked the evening meal for the girls. We had been living on sandwiches and frozen food the last couple of days. He also got some pizza flavoured crisps. By the evening I was feeling better and so gave them a try. Just tasted of tomatoes really.
Friday Day 248 – 4th September
Rosie kept me company in the morning while I mustered up the energy to get on with things! Feeling more alive today so did 3 loads of laundry to catch up with housework and generally just chilled. Got a sponsored post about The Week Junior live.
Saturday Day 249 – 5th September
A quiet day today, worked on the jigsaw I started last week and generally just chilled again. Need to label Bee’s school uniform ready for next week but think I will do that tomorrow.
What a gorgeous view from the Heights of Abraham.
I really need to watch the second series of the The Umbrella Academy. I love that show.
I hope you are feeling better now. x

SubhanAllah, Heights of Abraham looks so beautiful!!! OoOo I have yet to read that post. How’s The Umbrella Academy? I hope you got better. Hey Rosie! The puzzle looks interesting

I am enjoying watching it. Almost at the end of season 2 already.
My OH’s the same as yours when buying painkillers (well, asking me to get them). He always wants expensive Anadin (because that’s the only one that works), even though it’s the same as the cheap own brand versions I would normally buy.
Hope you’re feeling better now. I’ve also had a bit of a school since N’s been back at school. He’s obviously brought the germs home.
I am guessing a lot more bugs will be coming home with the kids!
Sorry to hear you have not been very well, hope you are feeling much better and the girls settled into school this week. I always leave labelling until the last minute and quite often literally use a sharpie just before they put it on. Jigsaw looks great I wish I had more patience, Ive given up on the one I brought for lockdown four times already.

Thank you they have settled in well
Sorry to hear you have been feeling unwell with a cold and it meant you couldn’t finish the holidays as planned. Hope you are feeling betternow. Glad you did manage to get out to the Heights of Abraham though and that you didn’t have any problems with bank holiday traffic. The view looks amazing. Hope Bee has settled in well at school this week. #project366
Thank you, am fully better now!
Hope you are feeling better soon. The view is quite something from the hill.

Definitely was a lovely view!
Hope you’re feeling a bit better, shame you had to cancel plans if it was just a cold, but you can never be too careful. I’ve been existing on high sugary foods this week due to a migraine, need to snap out of that routine

Yep best to be careful
What a splendid view taken on Bank holiday! You can see for miles! Sorry to hear that you were not feeling well (but I’m with your husband on the meds. Nurofen works for me better, and I prefer Nurofen Meltets, they seem to work faster for me than anything else, when I have a headache).
I haven’t seen The Umbrella Academy, will google to find out what it’s about.
Love your new jigsaw, hope you will show the end result.
I have finished the series and it’s quite good. Have shared the final jigsaw
I think I would struggle in the caves with all the steps and a mask too! I just about cope with a quick in and out of shops. Not a fan of mask wearing but understand their importance. That looks like quite an ambitious jigsaw. You are doing well so far. My husband and I have just started getting into Umbrella Academy, we both really like it.
