here and there

Assalamualaykum...

here:
we went to a garage sale/yard sale yesterday. Nothing much, just a few old stuff. It was small, and the stuff  was basically sold in the garage with some spread onto the lawn.

there:
One of the things that I missed in the UK is the car boot sale. I love car booting! you can get almost anything that you want or need, new or pre-owned, most of the time, at a bargain. And it's huge! (well the one that we frequent, anyway). There are usually rows of rows of traders selling their stuff from the car boot!

here:
we registered the children with Northside Paediatrics yesterday but we had to wait for a week or so for a visit. And of course, health insurance  is really important. I haven't got my head round the insurance issue. It's really complicated!

there:
Health care is free ( abah will disagree!!). Bottom line, no health insurance is needed.

here:
Have yet to make new friends.

there:
I miss you people, friends in Durham, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester etc...

here:
home-maker

there:
a working mother

here:
the neighbours/neighbourhood seem(s) friendly and welcoming.  People would stop by and say hello! But I have been advised that friendliness does not mean acceptance.

there:
my old place - you mind your own business!

here:
the sun is mostly out! Glorious weather ( so far)!!!

there:
mostly gloomy and depressing! It rains and rains and rains!!!

will write more, inshaAllah.

May Allah protect us from harm! Ameen

speak soon
love xx
