Sunday Day 138 – 17th May
I feel like I type ‘today was a quiet day’ a lot. But frankly most of the days are quiet and there isn’t much to share! I caught up with some blogging work as had to send a draft blog post to be approved….and the girls did their usual of TV, games, phone and reading.
Monday Day 139 – 18th May
Reluctantly went over to my parents house to take dad to his hospital appointment. Got there and was told there are no appointments as they have all been made into telephone consultations. I was angry at the unnecessary risk we took…but I was polite and said the reminder letter didn’t say anything about it being a telephone consultation….I had actually wondered why they hadn’t made it into a telephone call! Thankfully got dad back home in time for the call and he was told everything seems stable at the moment. Popping over to the parents I got a chance to check on some of plants I had given them that were getting a bit sick in pots and needed to go into the ground. In the pot this rhododendron would only give a few flowers and look at this year! So beautiful.
Tuesday Day 140 – 19th May
Bee’s karate school have started to do 1-2-1’s outdoors in front of the dojo. This way they can keep socially distancing but still teach the kids for 30 mins. Bee had her session today and it was nice to get out of the house…even if I did just sit in the car and was nice to see her get some proper practice in which didn’t involve staring at a screen. Got home and told her she needs to start practicing her moves regularly….the 5 weeks off due to her fractured foot has made her a bit unfit and she needs to get back into it properly.
Also managed get a blog post live about Rafiq and Friends.
Wednesday Day 141 – 20th May
Slowly starting to get ready for Eid which will be at some point this weekend. As we already had new clothes which we had purchased for a wedding prior to lockdown and Bee had her David Charles Childrenswear dress, I had decided not to buy any more new clothes. Had to get Bee’s shoes out that she had got for the wedding so she could practice walking in them….not that we will be going out partying!
Thursday Day 142 – 21st May
After her school work Bee was out on the road on her scooter but it was just too hot so we didn’t last long outside. Also ended up baking another cake. I had ordered some flour from the local cake shop and decided to try a toffee cake mix as well. It made a massive cake but it was so tasty!
Friday Day 143 – 22nd May
Decided to start putting our decorations up today. This photo was the finished version on Saturday. Eid will be Sunday or Monday. I am not the most creative when it comes to decorations but think I did Ok! The banners and balloons were gifted by Anafiya Gifts.
Saturday Day 144 – 23rd May
A generally chilled out day. Finished off the decorations. Then I put henna on the girls as we can’t actually go out and get it done professionally. Had ordered some stencils off Amazon and they worked out pretty well. Also went and collected some Eid cupcakes I had ordered. So now we are all ready for Eid. It was then confirmed in the evening that Eid will be on Sunday, so it was our final fast today.
Those decorations look great! And glad to see Bee getting back into her classes!

Thank you! She was so pleased to see the karate lot
How frustrating about the hospital appointment which didn’t happen.
The social distancing karate lessons sound like a great idea. Good luck to Bee with her practising.
The Eid decorations look fab and the cupcakes delicious. I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday. x

Yes it is ideal the karate team have done that…gets the kids out!
The decorations are colourful and festive. Love the cupcakes, they are very elegant and stylish. Bee’s shoes are a riot of sparkles.
Glad to hear Bee was able to have a karate class.
A shame the letter for the medical appointment wasn’t clear and you had to go all the way only to find out you have an appointment online.
Yes it was so annoying they didn’t make it clear
Eid Mubarak to you all. Sorry to hear about your dad’s hospital appointment, they really should’ve made it clear on the letter it was a telephone consultation. The Eid decorations and cup cakes look fab

The letter was just the standard reminder letter…so annoying
Those Eid cupcakes look amazing, as do your decorations! I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating! Those sandals are lovely, hope Bee was able to celebrate in style with them! I know what you mean about not having anything to report, our days are the same – we get up, we work, we go to sleep. Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat… it truly is Groundhog Day! :/ Hope you are having a lovely week! Sim x #Project366

Thank you, we had a nice time
The cupcakes look amazing! I hope you all had a wonderful Eid, even if it was rather different from usual.
How annoying that you drove your dad to the hospital and that you hadn’t been told his appointment was on the phone. It must be nice for Bee to start doing a bit more karate training again. She looks great in the photo.

Thank you, it was a nice and peaceful Eid
How frustrating about the hospital appointment which didn’t happen. Loving the Karate lessons. Good luck to Bee. I hope you had a nice day and those cupcakes look fab x
The cupcakes were lovely!
The book looks interesting. So sorry you had to go through that hustle to realise that there would be telephone consultation. The flowers look amazing! Lovely shoes; unfortunately I wasn’t able to buy new clothes except an unstitched set of clothes I wasn’t able to get stitched. Eid Mubarak!! The cupcakes look amazing. I hope you had a wonderful Eid

The shoes we had purchased prior to lockdown for a wedding otherwise Bee wouldn’t have had new ones
Love the Eid decorations and the cupcakes. How frustrating that the letter didn’t mention it was a telephone consultation, that wasn’t very helpful. Your rhododendron is beautiful and I’m glad that Bee has been able to enjoy her karate lessons outside. #project366
Yes it was so annoying they hadn’t made it clear!
Bet you will be glad to see the end of the fasting.
The one to one sounds good for her.
It has been to warm some days these last few weeks

It definitely has been good for her
Hope you managed to enjoy your Eid celebrations, those shoes are gorgeous
We did thank you
That sounds like a good idea on the Karate lessons I know that Monkey is missing his. So annoying about the hospital I am not sure if I would have been able to keep my cool. The decorations look great I hope you had a great celebration.

We had a lovely celebration thanks
Wow the cupcakes look amazing. That’s a great idea doing the 121s outside. Our tennis started back, although N won’t be back til Friday (still haven’t checked if the OH is happy for him to start back, but it’ll be from across the other side of the net so it’s not like they get close).
Thats true, there will be distance between the players!
That rhododendron is really beautiful! It goes to show given the space how much they can thrive! What fabulous Eid cupcakes, they look so well designed! Bee’s shoes are so sparkly! I love them.
The definitely were sparkly!
How annoying about the hospital appointment.
I love the idea of classes outside, great idea in this weather too, actually.
Those cakes looked fab, Hope you enjoyed the celebrations.
The classes outside are perfect!
