mundane monday

Nothing much happened today. Iman was off school because he was still feeling poorly. Farah and Ihsan went to school as usual. Ihsan was a bit concerned about his Christmas performance. He wanted to be a part of it and yet at the same time, he knew it was religiously innapropriate for him to join. After careful consideration and some private talk with me, he decided to tell Mrs Clarke that he will not be joining the performance. Good boy!
On Wednesday, Farah will attend her Autumn dance festival in Spennymoor and she's extremely excited about it. She is involved in her class performance and she plays the part of a leaf, dropping from its branch. Last night, she showed Ailong and I her dance movement. It was soooo cute.
I learned how to make karipap pusing today and Ailong was quite pleased because after 11 years of marriage, this was my second attempt. The first was a complete failure. Well, better late than never right! This time around, the expert (kzu) came to the house and skillfully demonstrated the fine art of making it. My attempt was commendable.
Winter is here. The days are shorter and the nights are longer. The days are gloomy, wet and cold. The weather is really depressing.
