 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. […]

Middle of December, and the days here in the UK, are relishingly cold.  Never thought I would hear myself saying this, but it is consistent weather, and expected so I am getting used to going out with my huge coat, and scarf wrapped around my neck!  Cycling is a little more challenging, with the cold […]

Been out and about, so haven’t had a chance to update this blog O mine.
Just a quick rant and a vent after a friend informed me of their cashback deprivation! www.buymobilephones.net An internet company you don’t want to trust. The procedure for cashbacks is not as simple as when you buy the […]
