05 September 2026 - Uncle Mohamed celebrated his 82nd with family today

Image
From our first arrival (in 2025) through to our second farewell (in 2026) good times were shared with the great man whilst we were in Australia ourselves. Back here today, AK lent you support as you used the grass a cushion (during practice on the pedal-leas bike). A Labrador named Belochka dropped by. Every present (both dog and humans) loved it. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad  PS: on a very sad note, a friend from childhood (Bassam Salem) lost his years long battle with illness today. May he be resting in peace. May his family find strength in continuing. As a lesson to draw for yourselves, life is fragile. Treasure good health. May you three siblings remember every day, the value of the life that you get... With all of you, in your own ways, actualisng on the daily mantra: 'learn, create, contribute '... And remember to always be there for one another.

AK in his 'superhero' hoodie, first thing in the morning. Picking you up from preschool, after having picked up raspberries for you from the growers' markets only minutes earlier. Books and pieces for the both of you were also picked up today. Mum put plums from our garden to delicious use. Some outdoor time, together. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

Showing me two of the items that you were taking and adding to your preschool group today. AK tested his new boxers for the first time... As he begins adapting to a new phase of life. At your preschool, but before reaching you, to pick you up. Princess! A little swing, shake and bounce. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

01 September 2026 - First day of the new academic year

Image
Morning air being taken in. AK decided to join; and he decided that the only attire he needed was his set of gumboots. Sit-to chatting, as AK looks to lock yours truly out of the house Whilst at the 'linyaika' event (that is, the opening assembly and concert for the new academic year) at your sister's college, it was heartwarming to see her smiling and laughing with her friends. So too, seeing You and AK embrace upon your return from preschool. Some corn? Some sharing. 💖💖💖 Omran Matar  Dad

29 August 2026 - Animal Park in Baranovichi

Image
Ready to roll! True countryside originals. Local art, using hay whilst the sun shines. Someone's place of upbring. Unknowns in their all-too-known world. The installations appeared every few kilometres Roadside raspberry sales!.. plus crisp cucumbers. The boys were knocked out; and the girls were off to savour the animals. After waking, we went to pick them up. Into the city centre for a bite. Not on the Veranda, but rather at... ...& in. Off to The Octopus Cafe for dessert. Back to part two of the Animal Park. Shall we? No doubt. Hello you. It was love at first bite. And pat. Beast. Deer-hunter. Who's this beauty approaching us. How blessed we are. Deer oh deer! Connecting. With palpable joy. ❤️ 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad
