My question for you all this week:
What are your plans for the Christmas break?
————
If there are any questions for me AND WHY ARE THERE NOT PEOPLE SCRAMBLING TO ASK ME ABOUT MY SO INTERESTING LIFE?!, please leave them in the comments.
« Punographic Headlines I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine! And he shall be my Squishy »
oooh ooh i have questions!
1) how did you and your husband meet/get together? i think i’ve already asked you that, haven’t i? i forget the answer. i am a rubbish friend.
2) what’s your nationality/cultural background/where the heck are you muz-loms FROM??
3) what languages (other than english) do you speak, if any?
4) do you have any eid al adha traditions in your family? what are they?
5) have you ever been on hajj or umrah? if not, any concrete plans to go (we all do- and mean!- the ‘inshaAllah, soon’ but i mean, have you ‘got it on the calendar, mum booked to watch the kids for 3 weeks’ planned)
6) if you weren’t a vet, you’d be a….?
7) religiously, what are you surprisingly conservative about? surprisingly liberal? (I say ‘surprisingly’ as for most muslims, after you knwo them for a bit, you can guess where they’d stand on most issues/practices. and yet everyone has things that they shock people about with their strictness or casualness. what are those things for you?)
okay, better go- zayd’s nappy seems to be leaking.
oh, look at me go. i’m running. aaaaany second now, i’ll go and attend to yet another nappy……..
1. I think I have one pressing qt about garbage collection as it falls on a tuesday at my suburb and xmas and new year falls on a tuesday .. so when is the council going to collect my rubbish? btw, if I haven’t told you already, I’m going to New Zealand godwilling next week.. Woooohoooo! I am soo looking forward to see those geysers I read about in secondary school, once upon a time.
2nd qt. When did you really learn to cook and do you have some really simple recipes possibly Indian , that you can share with us? (My kids love butter chicken and I like beriani or pilau rice, hint hint).
Other than that, I think Susan just about covered it.
errrr…if I may be so bold (I should really just get my own blog so i can stop pilfering other people’s questions), i may know the answer to umm fi ard’s first question (you can delete this, tasmiya, if you want to claim all the glory for yourself!), as my local council just sent us a letter about this.
Apparently (here at least, and I’m guessing it’s the same elsewhere. But that could be very, very, worringly wrong), your bins will still be collected on public holidays, sooooo you need to make sure you definitely put your bins out the night BEFORE collection, as there will be less traffic, the garbos may come and get your bins earlier than normal. they work hard, those guys!
Whew! I should work for the info desk.
Thank you for your call. You are a valued part of our muncipality. Don’t forget to pay your rates.
Susan,
Thanks so much for the info. I’m sure going to leave out my bin early as don’t want to miss them hardworking guys.
And I’m all for you getting a blog so that we know how many times you change Zayd’s nappy and feed him. That will be so fun. Go gurl!
