22 June 2026 - Barbushku's Birthday!!!... & also Aunt Ayse's

Image
Happy Birthday Barbushku!!! Always visiting with love. Always attending with care. Always so patient with us. ...how we spent our day: Hatted up and ready to go! Upon returning form preschool. Ready to return outdoors. Already active outdoors. The garden-beds Mum created. Our first ever salad (using in part the harvest from here) was created and enjoyed today. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad ...Aunt Ayse: Happy Birthday! Nice catching you on a call, whilst at Charles De Gaulle!

Out for sun with AK. Upon returning indoors, it was tickle-mania Cooling down. Using gumboots the way one should. 💖💖💖 Omran Matar  Dad

20 June 2026 - Aaliyah and Yusuf tied the knot

Image
The Happy Couple. On top of the world. And on top of Wollongong. A song for the couple. Wishing them only the best. Back here, watermelon remained the rage. So too perusing... AK rejected the sliced tuna steak, and insisted on having a full slab. You enjoyed the tomatoes more. Why summer invokes passion. Dog meeting time. Let's go! 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

Soon after waking.. Whilst Mira was at preschool.. With Mira at preschool.. Finally watermelon season... At least for those that come from Uzbekistan... Yum! 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

18 June 2026 - from Tajikistan

Igor and Daryna dropped by. Lychees are a family favourite. The nuts from Tajikistan were a lovely gift. Happy camper. Little lady; in style. That turtle!.. amongst other little creations! 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

17 June 2026 - Barbushka and Dyairdushka

Image
A moment of peace with barbushka, after she returned from having had a haircut. An inspired AK struggled to get the fingers right, and then proudly showcased it when he did. Dyairdushka joined, and enjoyed your performance. Boys will be boys. Bubble gum, salted caramel, and strawberry cream... Does gelato get any better than that? Farewell for now. Down time, once without guests for the night. 💖💖💖 Omran Matar  Dad

16 June 2026 - A sweet start, and a sweet laden end, to the day

A kiss before you head off to preschool. Thank you Adam Karym. Gone with the wind. Evening time. Babushka came around, and you all got to enjoy a movie (& loads of sweets) together. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad
