168. The ones that say while they themselves sit, "If only they had listened to us, they would not have been slain." Say, "Avert death from your own selves, if you speak the truth."
(The Family of Imran 3:168)
Hi Natty! How are you, Honey? Keeping cool? I looked at the map to see that you're far away from the fires, so alhamdulillah. It was hot here today, but it's cooled down a little bit. It hasn't rained in about a week, so I took the opportuniy to spray the mango trees for ants. They like to feed on baby leaves, and rain always washes away the poison. It's interesting how the weather became distorted on your birthday, huh?

165. What! When a single disaster smites you, although you smote with one twice as great, do you say, "What is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves, for Allah has power over all things."
(The Family of Imran 3:165)
Hi Natty! How are you today, Honey? I hope you are healthy and having a wonderful time over there. Are you hungry? You can share my fries with me whenever you want. I'll make a double potion just for you! We might just eat fries all the time when we are married inshaAllah, they're so addictive! Plus, fries are predictable for the tummy. I also have some roast beef slow-cooking on the stove top. I mean the beef is simmering in a bath of soy sauce and coconut milk, with some spices and a little salt. I guess you can call it roast beef. I will cook there for a few hours. It's a cheap cut of beef, but that's the beauty of it. When it's dome, the gristle and fat will be the best parts! Tomorrow I will be fasting inshaAllah, and I plan to have the beef with steamed rice for the pre-dawn meal. Anyway, it's time to do wardrobe with Mary Unknown7's avatar again. I love you!
Sundays are black!

154. After the distress, God sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, moved by wrong suspicions of Allah, suspicions due to ignorance. They said, "What affair is this of ours?" Say you, "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah's." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to you. They say, "If we had had anything to do with this affair, we should not have been in the slaughter here." Say, "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death." But that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts.
(The Family of Imran 3:154)
Oh twins! How cute! It's nice to see you enjoy your birthday. What are you eating? That looks like some kind of tomato soup maybe gazpacho or spaghetti? That also looks like some kind of ice cream cake? Looks posh. I guess this makes you both professional endorsers of food products. Don't get bloated, OK!
Not much going on here other than the usual. Lookie made me go out downtown to the pet supply store for flea drops, because she ws tearing her coat off over one flea. ONE flea. For lunch, I made a sweet corn omelet. Yesterday I bought a kilo of frozen sweet corn kernels, and I'm glad I did. Very tasty stuff. Dinner was fries, with a cheeseburger loaded high with cashew relish. I think you are going to be addicted to my home fries, Natty. I've perfected the recipe, and used mediocre potatoes. In the evening I dug up some stumps at the side of the road. Yeah, nothing much going on. You know, you know.
