Sunday Day 145 – 24th May
Eid Day! I hadn’t managed to get the girls all the things I wanted to as due to loss of income we have to be careful with spending. But I still managed to get them enough to keep them happy. Thankfully my girls don’t expect bags of presents. I did get them lots of sweets though! Bee’s dress was the dress gifted by David Charles Childrenswear which she never got to wear to the wedding.
Monday Day 146 – 25th May
Back to normality and eating during daylight hours! Felt a bit strange to be honest. Decided to make some cheese scones which weren’t too bad! Girls soon finished them up so must have been good!
Tuesday Day 147 – 26th May
Today was the turn of bread rolls. I didn’t have much luck with freash yeast but finally managed to get some dried yeast and the bread rolls came out so soft and delicious.
In the evening we decided to go for a walk at the local country park and take Bee’s bike so she could practice cycling a bit. It is the first time since March we have gone for a walk as a family and it was nice to get out and blow the cobwebs away.
Wednesday Day 148 – 27th May
A quiet day today….just watching TV and not much else to be honest. Got some blog stuff done and published a post in my Muslim Mums in Business series by featuring Level 10 Muslimah Life Coaching.
Noticed that my Red Hot Pokers were flowering in the garden.
Thursday Day 149 – 28th May
Another 1-1 karate session today. They are allowed to book 2 30 minute sessions a week but they agreed to let us do 1 hour in one go. She was made to work hard and was bright red by the end of the session. For the first time in ages she came home and was quiet while resting up! It clearly was a good workout.
Friday Day 150 – 29th May
Some time ago I started a section on my blog for Islamic Games/Toys but I never really stuck with it. Have decided to revive it and do regular posts in the section. Started it off with the Learning Roots Sahaba Cards. Sahaba refers to the companions, friends and family of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. (PBUH)
Saturday Day 151 – 30th May
Every year one of my friends gives me a cucumber plant and we have a fun competition as to who’s grows better. This year I thought we wouldn’t be doing it but she popped round with one…..in return I gave her one of my pepper plants. It was nice to catch up with her…she stood in the driveway and we had a long chat. She had brought her son with her who is Bee’s friend and they had a nice catch up too and used chalk to colour on the driveway. I must admit it was hard for them not being able to get close and we often had to remind them to keep their distance…really made me wonder how they will be coping in schools. And I hate that this is our future for the foreseeable future.
I then decided to give Muffins in the air fryer a go and they came out really nice!
Ahh! I am sure the girls did appreciate the presents you fot them.
Those scones do look so good.
It sounds like you had a lovely walk out.
The Islamic Games/Toys feature sounds like a great idea. I find those blog posts interesting. x

The walk was much needed!
I hope you all had a lovely Eid. Glad Bee has been able to get back to her karate, well done to her for the social distancing when your friends came round
She is so glad to be able to get back into it
Your cheese scones look lovely! Glad your children liked the presents, sweets always go down a treat. Children find happiness in the little things, you don’t always have to spent a lot x
Yes agree…you don’t always have to spend a lot!
I’m glad the girls enjoyed Eid. It must be strange to be eating in daylight hours again. I suppose it must take a few days to adjust.
The view on your walk is stunning. It looks like Bee really enjoyed her karate. It must have been nice to catch up with your friend.

Thanks for your comment
great to be making more use of your air fryer than just chips.
Glad you had a good Eid under the current circumstances.
Was rather warm for an hour of karate but glad she got a lot out of it

Yes she did find it tough towards the end as her fitness levels have gone down.
I’m sure the girls did appreciate the presents you got them. The scones look fab, can you teach me, I failed miserably. The Islamic Games and Toys feature sounds like a great idea. xx
I just followed a simple recipe online. Usually my baking is a disaster but these turned out ok!
That’s great Bee’s back doing her karate. N’s not starting back at tennis now, as the OH said no. Frustrating as there’s very little danger given the millions of safety rules they’ve put in place. We need to get out and play in the garden more
Oh no thats a shame he won’t be going back to tennis!
I am so glad you had been able to bake lots of goodies! The cheese scones and muffins made in the air fryer look fabulous! I can’t say I have ever tried a cheese scone, I love adding jam and cream far too much!
That dress is absolutely gorgeous, Bee may not have been able to wear it to the wedding, but still got to wear it for a special occasion! 🙂 Sim x
I think I do prefer a jam and cream scone!
Hope the cucumber does well. Looks like you enjoyed Eid even if it wasn’t quite the same as normal. Karate looks good and great to keep active.
It is nice to get back to karate
I love her dress, it is beautiful. Glad to hear that they enjoyed Eid, it is a shame you couldn’t get them everything you wanted to, but looks like they had fun nonetheless
Thank you! She loves her dress
I love Bee’s dress that she wore for Eid, it is so pretty. Glad she was able to have a good karate session – it certainly does sound like she had a good workout. I love cheese scones – we made some last week as well. The muffins look yummy too. Glad you were able to enjoy a family walk around the local country park. #project366
She definitely needed a good work out!
Looks like you had a lovely Eid. Bee looks so pretty in both her outfits. The scones are delicious.
Glad Bee had her karate class again, and you had a quiet evening afterwards. It’s hard for kids to do social distancing, I have no idea how realistic it would be in school. My younger one is staying at home as his year is not going to school.
Thank you!
Definitely hard for the young ones to social distance.
Happy Eid, I love Bee’s dress it is beautiful. I have not had a cheese scone for ages, I think I will be putting them on our baking list. The red hot pokers look great. I can only imagine how it is working in schools at the moment. Ours are not back and won’t be now I don’t think
