Day 308 – Sunday 3rd November
A pretty quiet Sunday as usual. Eldest had her horse riding and so we went to say hello to the horses again and gave them polos. Then just chilling at home.
Day 309 – Monday 4th November
I was planning to go to the park in the morning as a local lady is trying to encourage Muslim Women to get back on their bikes and start a bike riding group. Today was to help those who couldn’t ride or hadn’t ridden for a while. However hubby unexpectedly decided to take the day off so we ended up getting some odd jobs done that needed doing. Messaged the lady and she said they are starting a regular group from next Monday so might try to get to that. Managed to do another peak into an Islamic kids book on IGTV again…a series I started last week. This week the book I chose was Thank You O Allah.
Day 310 – Tuesday 5th November
Decided to pop to Costa again today with the eldest while Bee was at her Quran class. She decided to try the white hot chocolate but wasn’t impressed with it.
Day 311 – Wednesday 6th November
Today was spent at Bee’s school for an all day Governor day. Got spotted by Bee a few times and her friends as Bee’s class is opposite the head teachers class…..so I got a lot of ‘Look it’s Bee’s mummy!’ Didn’t really take any photos today so you have one of Rosie…she saves the day when I haven’t taken a picture of anything else!
Day 312 – Thursday 7th November
Today was the eldest’s parents evening. Had to see around 12 teachers so a bit of rushing around and waiting around. All of them were happy with her….a common thing they said was that she needs to be a bit confident in class and also in her abilities. Even the maths teacher said she is not as bad as she thinks. In some subjects she is already working at GCSE level so if she pushes herself she will do really well. Didn’t really take many pictures today that I want to share…so you have a picture of lots of leaves in Bee’s school playground! Love the colours. I have started going back into school on Thursday afternoons to read with the children for an hour.
Day 313 – Friday 8th November
Popped to the parents for a little while after picking dad up from the mosque and noticed these flowers in the garden. I had got my mum this plant a few years ago for mothers day. It was in an indoor basket but when it died out they planted it outside. It has done really well this year.
Day 314 – Saturday 9th November
No karate for Bee today as there was an event happening at the gym. It is rare to have a weekend of doing absolutely nothing so felt a bit lost! Did think about going out for the day but decided instead to just chill at home for once. Agreed to do some baking with Bee and made some cookies. They were actually pretty good!
Yum those cookies look good. I always find the flavoured hot chocolates smell really nice, but never taste that good.
That is true actually…they aren’t always as good as they smell!
Beautiful flowers in the garden! Our garden is now almost flower-free, with the exception of a few cyclamens and a couple of roses. Choc chip cookies look good.
Good luck with the bike club. I haven’t been in a bike since childhood, and don’t think I would feel confident going back on a bike.
Rosie looks gorgeous, as always.
I am a bit nervous about getting on the bike! Will see what happens!
The bike riding group sounds like a good idea. I hope you get to go next time.
Those hot chocolates do look good. Shame your eldest wasn’t impressed. It sounds like a great parents evening for her. I hope she finds some confidence. x

She is usually a hot chocolate fan but definitely not of the white one now!
Sometimes a day of doing nothing is the best day as I know you get the run around with all the girls activities! Those cookies look so yummy!

It would be lovely if they didn’t bicker so much at home!
It’s good to hear that your eldest is doing well at school and hopefully she will find a bit more confidence. Those flowers are amazing for this time of year! The cookies look good too. I always feel lost if we don’t have anything on at weekends too.

Hopefully..she just needs to speak up a bit more
wow those flowers are stunning especially for a former house plant and at this time of year. I really don’t like hot chocolate drinks, but i do love chocolate, shame the white one wasn’t as good as you’d hoped for
I think it is an outdoor plant but they just put it in a pot for mothers day.
Hi, lovely horse! The Muslim Women riding group is a great idea. The book looks great, very inviting and colorful. The drinks look tempting but a lot of white chocolate tends to overdue it because it’s too sweet. Rosie saves the day although she’s not very happy about it. Wow, so happy for the eldest! Autumn looks so lovely in the UK. Here, autumn looks very beautiful in the north where it’s colder. Tempting cookies and the flowers are WOW!! Lavender is my favorite colour
Yes I think the problem with the white chocolate was that it was too sweet
what a pain at hubby taking Monday off so you could not go cycling, but hope you enjoy the time, I love it.
The flowers are a great colour
Next time I will go even if he has taken the day off!
Those cookies look good. I am not a fan of hot chocolate, it looks good, but I don’t really like hot drinks. xx
Want more of those cookies
