"Ameena Baji* can I borrow your ukulele cover. Please? Ameena Baji? Hello? Can I borrow your ukulele cover? Ameena Baji? "
I reply incoherently, in the hope that Ayesha will leave me alone. I roll over and try to fall back asleep despite Ayesha's loud bathroom antics- our rooms are separated by a Jack and Jill bathroom. Only she could make this much noise washing her hands/brushing her teeth- even drying her hands with a towel sounds like a herd of rhinos crashing through the room.
I spent the entire day catching up on correspondence. Whilst it London, I was contacted by a few people/companies I sent CVs to/ filled in applications for. And so I had to respond to a number of e-mails and try and plan how all these free-lance projects will fit around family life and the wedding plans.
Once the projects are up and running, I'll update my other blog (The Nurustrator for those of you interested)
We waited an entire day for Meher to drive back from London. She wasn't feeling too well and had to stop every two hours or so to take a break. It took her more than 8 hours!
I got tired of waiting and went to Zumba at 7pm- it was great getting back into that class- I've missed it while I was in Dundee.
I came home to find Meher cuddling Jeju. I love how everyone who has been away for any amount of time- be it a few hours, days, weeks- always gravitate towards Khodeja's room. She makes us the family we are. She keeps us humble and whole :)
It's lovely to have the whole family back at McNur Manor.
*Baji- Urdu word, meaning big sister. Not to be confused with "Bhaji" - type of pakora :P
