After we finished making the flap books for the day. we went to baraka bakery. a baraka bakery I had a slice of cake, a cup of coffee and a panini. They didn't have chicken filling so we had tuna instead. This time the man who makes the paninis managed to make them hot inside unlike last time where the were stone cold.

Today  Bilaal went to the science festival with dad. while he was out we made home made flap books with Ibraheem from kits that mum got from Hobbycraft a while ago. Ibraheem's is a story about a boy called Bob who stows away on a space rocket and gets a pet alien. mine is a comical sort of book set in WW1. I have only made two pages so far. In them someone falls out an airplane and doesn't care and two people drink tea with a huge bomb falling on them.

At mothers and toddlers Billal got some strange stuff they said was made of PVA glue and some kind of soap. it is stretchy and bouncy as well.

This afternoon when mum was at mothers and toddlers with Bilaal I made some chocolate sweets. I made them by mixing hot chocolate powder and icing sugar with half a tub of soft cheese. we didn't have any icing sugar so I made some by grinding sugar in the spice grinder. when that mix was done I added some cornflour because it was so wet. I mixed it well then rolled it in a mix of  icing sugar and hot chocolate powder then I chilled them in the fridge.

Mum picked up the the cross stitch car that gramma made for from the framing shop down the road.

Dad has just helped me put it up on my wall. It looks really nice.

Today I made some waterproof matches. I made them by dipping the match heads in to wax from a lit candle. Had to be careful when doing this because if the matches got too close the flame they would burst in to flames.

In the garden this afternoon I used dads knife to to some wood carving. The only problem is that his knife is rather blunt and has a few nicks in it.

Ibraheem likes playing jetpack joyride on the iPad although he is not very good at it.

There are a lot of bugs in the garden. I saw a bee pollinating a strawberry plant and I also saw a   ladybird with more spots tha usual.

When we were in the garden yesterday we saw the cat chase a magpie up a tree. She looked really cute when she was nimbly climbing down. We also saw a seagull drinking water out of the unused sandpit of top of the shed roof.

In the garden we are growing a camomile plant for home made camomile tea. A few days ago I picked some and made camomile and spiced apple tea. It tasted a lot like the tea bought from the shop of the same flavour.

This morning when I went to Dadimas instead of having fried eggs like I usually do I had had an omelet. After that we played in the garden but Bilaal sent the ball over the fence in to the neighbors so we had to play with a broken tennis ball which didn't bounce.

Today I started making

a model viking sword. I am using a bamboo stick and a pizza box.

In the garden bilaal likes making holes to put seedling in.

I like reading books of the i pad in the garden on a deck-chair.

yesterday we went in the garden. I cut some rhubarb and froze it. we also did a lot of weeding.

Yesterday when we went in the garden we noticed that because we hadn't been out in a long time it had been over grown with weeds. I used the hoe to get rid of all the small weeds but I had to use my hands to pull up the larger weeds and untangle the bind weeds.

One of my gerbils, the brown one, who is called Carrot is rather strange. He never eats his food from his bowl. He tips his food in to his bedding and throws his bowl around. We decided to give him a paper bowl and only give him a bit of food at a time. He loves shredding paper with his teeth so he can shred his bowl after he has eaten hi food.

When we were in the garden today we noticed that our cat goes silly in the sun. She rests and sleeps in strange places.

This morning I went on the garden with mum. The first strawberry has nearly become fully red.
