Inshallah.

i dont ever want to travel without a mahraam.

this is the thing

On friday i went on the Year 8 trip as a staff for a day. Meeting at 5am and back at 10.30pm.

so i needed to pray Duhr and because i nod off in the bus (at 5am) i lost my wudu.

then we get on the coach, toilet WAY TOO BUSY. (unfortunatly we werent the only school who decided to go to france that day...)

then we get to Calais. and drive to Boulogne. and stop at this fortified town. 12.35. still too early im thinking. Duhr in france is at 2pm.

Today was our first day out in the community fund raising for Gaza, because as i've clearly shown in other blogs I care & I really wana do summat to help the peopple.

We brought a stall at the local islamic school's summer fair. We had mendhi & water bomb games going off. We made £123.48 exactly, it lasted 3 hours from 1 till 4 and I think it went quite well mashallah.

We raised a good amount of money & we had a good day i'm absolutely shattered but it was a very good day. From being drenched by little kids with water baloons to talking to brothers & sisters about whats happening in Gaza and their views on everything.

Hezbollah founder Ayatollah Fadlallah died in Lebanon 4 July 2010.

Ahah my sister's thoughts on the way to my cousin's bbq. It was very early and Her questions were getting annoying so i told her to write them down and i'd answer them all later

I get out the car, half dead. and see this leaf, levitating. what else could i do?

Awesome yellow little leaf. levitating. Better than any psychic octopus, even if it glowed in the dark

well..that was what was suppose to happen. but it didnt go that way.

anyway. We travel for TWELVE hours. I dont think our family is suppose to travel at normal times. We have NO idea where the time went and how come it took us so long. (average time is 9 hours and thats when we take a 2 hours ferry ride which is furthest north, this time we took the eurotunnel...)

anyway, left at 5pm and got "home" at 5am (saturday morning)

then 11.30 was the town hall reception (we went for a wedding)

Nearly twelve hours we've been on the road.
