Finally managed to access my site! For some reason the internet provider was blocking a lot of the blogs!
Sunday 1st April
Finally arrived in Pakistan after a 7 hour flight. Had to give Bee some meds as she was coughing and had a slight temperature but she managed to stay awake the whole flight even though when we landed it was around 12am UK time. She then dropped off to sleep in the car on the way home.

Monday 1st April
A day of rest and just trying to get our bearings and get over the jetlag. Bee has an endless supply of ice cream due to grandad having his own shop. I hadn’t let her have any yesterday due to her cough but she was feeling much better today.

Tuesday 2nd April
Popped out in the afternoon to do some clothes shopping for the eldest. She doesn’t really have any summer clothes. Then took them to a play area at the top of a shopping mall to have some rides.

Wednesday 3rd April
Slightly addicted to this juice! Visited my brothers grave in the morning. Although been 20+ years it still breaks my heart seeing his grave. Then decided to get out and do as much shopping as we can. The weather is only going to get hotter so trying to get as much done as we can in the first week. Left the girls this time at home as it is so manic that its hard to shop properly while looking after them. Got back and found out my dads cousin had passed away. Hadn’t had a chance to go say hello….had been thinking to go this evening but ended up going to her funeral.

Thursday 4th April
Went to the other graveyard today to visit my grandparents graves, along with 2 uncles, an aunt and a cousin. Visited some relatives who live nearby. One has a gorgeous garden while the girls were happy at the other house as they had a cat. Reminded me of how much I am missing Rosie.

Friday 5th April
Discovered there was a McDonalds about 20 minutes away so decided to go. Place looked clean and tidy….very busy….unfortunately it led to an upset stomach later that evening. After the meal went to a fair that was across the road and the girls had some rides.

Saturday 6th April
Hubby went to a wedding….I decided not to go as we didn’t have any of our flashy clothes with us plus it was too hot to drag the kids there. When he got back we went out in the evening to eat and get the girls some sandals.
quite handy to get out of the wedding considering the heat.
Glad you managed to get an internet connection.
Sorry to read about your dads cousin, sad to have to attend her funeral instead of saying hello.
An ice cream shop is handy though probably melt to quick in this heat, does he make dairy free?

He doesn’t make them himself but just sells them
Sorry to hear about someone passing away (ILWIR). I’ve been keeping an eye on your daily ice cream shame about th is McDs, they’re usually a safe kind of food abroad!
sorry to hear you’re trip started with such sadness, I find the same when I visit the UK, catching up with elderly relatives and sadly attending too many funerals. Hubby always manages at least one bout of food poisoning when he visits Pakistan and the last trip he only ate in MD’s and was ill again. I love the fruit juices and the shopping experiences outside of the big malls here in Dubai, enjoy the rest of your trip
It must have been frustrating to not be able to get into your site. Hope you have recovered from the jetlag now.

Looks like you have had a good time in Pakistan – nice that you got to visit the graveyard. That swimming pool looks great.
Busy time for you and I hope you are enjoying your time with family. I think lots of people have been having problems with their blogs recently (a lot have been hacked or had weird plug ins) #project365
