Day 25/366

Appu was working from home today so I decided to sleep in a bit longer (15mins) as he gave the girls milk and I just needed to go make breakfast for them. Those extra few minutes feel nice sometimes, im sure some mums would agree with me on this. After dropping the girls at school, I decided to go for a walk. I spoke to my mum and a friend from Brunei during that time and it felt like I was walking with someone. On my way back home got milk and bananas from the nearby store. I had planned to make a smoothie (picture above)for my lunch today and was out of milk so decided to do it on my way home. The weather outside was very pleasant though the winds were strong. Enjoyed about an hour of walking. Good start to my day. Got back home and had some work to finish after which watched a bit of Harry Potter (I'm almost at the final series - Deathly Hallows, Part 1). Made lunch for Appu n myself ( banana, chia , milk and medjool dates). I had my lunch at 12 pm as I was fasting and Appu had later as he had to attend a few meetings. After lunch, I took a quick( 30 mins) nap, showered and got ready to pick th egirls from school. Appu also came along as we were to meet the class teacher of my older one today after pick up time. She was very nice and kind. Told us how things work in the school and it sounded very similar to the Brunei school my girls were previously going to. After the meeting, all four of us walked back home together and the girls were particularly happy that Appu was around.

Once we got home, the cleaning lady had come and so we kept hoping around the house so we dn't come in her way. Kids watched some video by then I cooked dinner. Unfortunately while the lady was leaving, the front door lock broke! Though she din't realise it, when i went to lock the door, it was broken. Appu checked it and realised it wouldn't lock the front door and needed replacement. So yet again the manager of the building was called but this time as he was in the building at the time, he came immediately and brought the man to fix it. Gosh!For a minute I thought I would be stuck at home like last time. Anyways all is well and once they left, we all had dinner together.

After dinner, we decided to have a family game session of snake and ladder. Was a fun game, all of us kept getting eaten by snakes. Since it was getting late for the girls to go to bed, we decided to stop and continue tomorrow. We all had a great time. Do you plan family games? I strongly suggest you do, it's a fun way to spend some quality time as a family.

Our day was pretty much usual and we are hoping to view a few more houses during the weekend. Time is ticking and Appu is surely feeling very stressed. We are praying and hoping everything goes well.

What are your plans for the weekend? Would love to hear from you.

Love
