Week 22 - One Daily Positive, Project 366 and SnapHappyBritMums

It's too hot, the short walk from the garage to the kitchen door every afternoon at 4pm is a killer, coupled with a 30 minute drive home towards the setting sun, is not long enough for the air con to kick in fully and cool the car interior below 40c. This time last year, we were having a heat wave and the temps were 10c hotter than they are at the moment. It's Ramadan next week Monday/Tuesday depending on the moon and I have reduced working hours. Starting an hour later in the morning and finishing 90 minutes earlier in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to having an extra hour in bed in the mornings and it still being cool enough to sit outside to eat my breakfast.

Tuesday
Day 152 #OneDailyPositive #Project366 #vintage#may #SnapHappyBritMums I collect #glass, not any old glass and rare for me to buy 'new' pieces, but 'old' pieces, from drinking glasses, animals to#paperweights. My mother gifted the majority of the animals to me as a child, which were pieces my father bought her as gifts on his travels. I purchased most of the paperweights with my pocket money as a child from a junk shop opposite my Grans house in#Brighton #collectables #hobby #glassware151

Wednesday
Day 153 #OneDailyPositive #Project366 #0600 #june2016 #SnapHappyBritMums My 6am routine having fed the dog and walked him, I locate the cat after her night time travels and then step around her, over her and sometimes on her as I prepare her food. #cat #catsofinstagram #pets #feedme

Thursday
Day 154 #OneDailyPositive #Project366 #dog #june2016 #SnapHappyBritMums I had a bit of a shock today, I took the cat for an X-ray on her paw to discover after 4 years that she is actually a he. It's like watching #bcfc get relegated from the Premiership again. I'm gutted, but there's nothing I can do about it. Meanwhile Bob is laughing his head off at the recent discovery. #dogsofinstagram #dog#vet #pets #catsofinstagram

Friday
Day 155 #OneDailyPositive #Project366 #sun #june2016 #SnapHappyBritMums it's that time of year in Dubai, they call summer, when as many people as possible hope on a plane and fly away from the sun. I'm out of here on July 2nd. I've reduced working hours this month for#ramadan2016 #ramadan #ramadankareem which makes it easier.

Saturday
Day 156 #OneDailyPositive #Project366 #road #june2016 #SnapHappyBritMums one of the many new roads being built in Dubai.

  2. I am sure you dont love the cat any less.
    I am sorry but my husband I would be living in separate countries for much of the year with those temperatures it has been 24 here most of the week and I just cannot function, work has been a nightmare beyond belief.
    Love your glass collection and the history behind it.

  3. Oh wow what a shock to find out your cat is not a she as you thought! I remember seeing lots of building works happening in Dubai when we visited....seems like they just do constant improvements.
