I know it has been a long time since I last posted. Just had many things happening in my life. One of the happenings? Well, my father has been very sick the last few months. He transferred from this Dunyaa to the Allah SWT on Thursday 16th Shawwal 1429A (Thursday 16th October 2008).
Verily […]
First stretch of fine sunshine for a record 8 days! Well it seems like a record anyway. Then the morning chills waded in, and occasional showers. It has warmed up again. Nothing to cheer you up, like basking in the sunshine. Kids play in the garden too soaking up the vitamin D. You know. Ok, […]
Went to Masjid in my flip flops the other day. Warm and humid all day. you know i think I will wear my sandals to work tomorrow. Happy days are here again! Enjoy it while you can folks. (BTW, it snowed this morning!) Now and then this old chap walk down my street. He […]
Lots of storms recently thrashing the UK. The pictures look quite devastating. One picture that made me smile (maybe I shouldn’t have!) was a man who went for a walk, and the gust of wind took him flailing in the air. Surreal. Just by chance someone was there with a camera and took the […]
Weather is getting milder now, but curiously quite frosty in the mornings at times. The car windscreens encrusted with frozen droplets from the dew built up the night before. Sunny spells here and there.
Bought a new car a few weeks ago, and now trying to sell the old one. The car has a defect, […]
I have been noticing some odd formations above my street for the past 6 weeks or so. Formations? you ask. Well, bird formations. It looks quite impressive, and it takes place about an hour before sunset. Hundreds of birds taking part in the air orchestra extravaganza. Masha-Allah, looks very rapturous. […]
In case you haven’t seen one. Here is a UK Zebra Crossing.
Nothing mind-blowing, I know, but the theory is that drivers have to stop for pedestrians. These are cheaper for local governments than pedestrian light crossings, but methinks zebra crossings are not taken too seriously by a lot of drivers. Red light just means stop […]
I rang one of my clients on Wednesday to arrange a visit, and they said, well you definitely wont be able to come tomorrow. I asked, why? They said because it is going to snow very heavily tomorrow and we will be snowed in. They seemed extremely convinced because of the weather […]
Looks as though Spring season is slowly easing in, and Winter is bidding farewell. Fairly mild weather with a splash of rain, here and there. Not a snowflake in sight though. Shame that, at least that is what the kids think anyway. Another 3 months or so b4 the clocks go […]
Enjoying this extended Eid break. Weather is reasonable too, Alhumdulillah. Was thinking it might snow, so could have a snowball fight with the kids, but hey wasnt meant to be. Apart from that, Hajj has ended, and the new year to commence. Tis funny how the time rushes past us, without us even realising it. […]
