Welcome Bonuses – Rating 1/5

At the time of this Marathon Bet Review, this operator does not provide a sports welcome bonus at all for new customers. It does, however, offer a few promotions for both its casino and sportsbook patrons. We have to be honest here and express that we are a bit disappointed in the lack of welcome bonuses, as a welcome bonus is a great way for new players to get things started.

Let’s kick-off by taking a look at the sports promotions on offer right now at Marathon Bet.

Acca Insurance

This bonus offers a refund for an accumulator bet with one incorrect prediction. To qualify for this promotion, we need to have at least five predictions on our Acca wager.

As fans of the accumulator bet, Marathon Bet, in our opinion, have deployed a good safety net, giving us more reason to use this profitable betting market.

We’re awarded a free bet for the first ten Acca bets that meet the above criteria. We noticed the free bets usually appear in our accounts within 48 hours. It’s also worth noting that any free bets awarded will expire after seven days

To claim this bonus, one needs to first register as a Marathon Bet loyalty club member. If the accumulator bet contains a match that ends up being called off, the operator no longer considers it part of the wager.

Bore Draw

This exciting promotion allows for a refund on any football match ending in a draw. Most bookmakers we have analysed, reviewed and played at, tend to offer a similar bonus, but usually tend to provide refunds worth more. It is thus our opinion that in light of this one fact alone, that fact that other sportsbook operators tend to offer this type of promotion, and do so more lucratively, that Marathon Bet is holding back on its patrons slightly.

Before we can benefit from this promotion, we need to claim it after signing into our account. Any bets placed on the correct score market are eligible for this bonus, except for wagering on a draw.

Credited free bets only apply to the first twenty settled wagers and appear in the player’s account within 48 hours. Again, as it the same with the previous promotion discussed, free bets expire after seven days, so make sure you use them timeously.

During this Marathon Bet review, we found a Superprize promotion rewarding an extra betting ticket. The ticket is comprised of several questions, awarded to each player after placing a specific minimum bet on any sporting event. To win the reward, one has to answer all the questions correctly.

The ticket requires predictions for a certain football match. Rewards tend to come in the form of free bets or simply an amount credited to the gaming account. It is believed that these additional awards will be reflected in the gaming account of the player in question, within 24 hours of the specific football games conclusion.

Although all these promotions create an added chance of winning, the sports bonuses don’t compare well with other bookmakers, in general. That’s why our Marathon Bet review team feels it falls short and can in good faith only give them a rating of 1 out of 5.

Betting Markets on Available Sports – 4/5

During our review of Marathon Bet, we found a total of 39 available betting markets. It features the most popular sport types, as well as a good selection of niche categories too. We feel a list this size gives sports fans a wide variety to bet on, even introducing new markets that many would previously have never tried.

The most popular sports markets at Marathon Bet are Football, Basketball, Tennis, and Rugby.
Each category provides odds on a few leagues, giving us plenty of sports betting options. Our Marathon Bet review team also found betting options for female sports leagues. This comes as a breath of fresh air, as plenty of other sportsbooks tend to gloss over this type of sporting selection and section.

When it comes to autosports, the operator provides odds on NASCAR only. This comes as a disappointment as well, as we couldn’t find anything for Formula One or that of MotoGP either. Each of which are rather popular autosports events and tournaments, that would no doubt allow for more promising bets, odds and engagement from players. Our Marathon Bet review has also uncovered that patrons are allowed to participate in both the UFC and Bellator leagues for the extreme sporting tyle, namely MMA.

The positives for this operator are also worth mentioning though, as our Marathon Bet review team also found additional markets like eSports on offer. This is fast becoming a necessity in the betting industry. We thought the added niche markets like Futsal, Darts, Snooker, and Table Tennis made for a welcoming inclusion and offering throughout too.

Betting markets featured at Marathon Bet include the main markets for any given sport like an outright winner. We also found handicap and half markets for the most popular sporting categories.

Marathon Bet Odds – 4/5

Our Marathon Bet review team was very impressed with the large selection of betting odds on offer. Initially, we’re shown the main outright winner odds on any given sports market. To navigate to the rest of the Marathon Bet odds, one is encouraged to click on a particular block. This is the furthest thing from offering an intuitive and responsive site and could do with some updating.

Marathon Bet provides a recent history of the team’s or individuals’ performance. This is a fantastic feature that aids our betting decision. One can view the last few games that a particular team has played and the results for each. There is also a head-to-head matchup, giving patrons a great breakdown of the future possibilities.

One thing our Marathon Bet review team would like to see from the operator is an option to change how we view the Marathon Bet odds.  We could only view the Marathon Bet odds in decimal format, leaving those who prefer American or fractional odds in the dark.

One great feature, however, is the convenient betting slip that is located at the top of the site.

We compared the Marathon Bet odds to other major bookmakers, to see if the odds on offer were favourable. We looked at a Champions League match, between Juventus and Lyon, to understand the odds at Marathon Bet. Juventus provides odds of 1.50 to win, while Lyon offers odds of 8.0.

In all fairness, we cant expect the bookie to have longer odds in every possible category. By focusing on the main sporting markets and outright odds, Marathon Bet provides odds on par or sometimes slightly better than other bookmakers. Overall we rate the odds at Marathon Bet a total of 4 out of 5.

Streaming and Live Betting On Marathon Bet – 3/5

Marathon Bet offers its sporting events in a live version too. Our Marathon Bet review team reported a much shorter list of sports markets available on the live feature.

To navigate to the Marathon Bet live streaming section, we had to select the Live tab found at the top of our screens. This was again confusing as there’s also a live casino and live games section. We’re able to use the side navigation bar when viewing all sporting markets. Just click the live tab to switch between the regular sports betting and the Marathon Bet live streaming feature.

Again, we can call up previous match statistics and head to head results to aid in our betting decisions. As an added plus, Marathon Bet provides an animated graphic to follow while the match is underway.

Although the operator provides live betting for a decent number of sports markets, not all support a live streaming option.It focuses only on the most popular matches at any given time. Marathon Bet live streaming is only available to members with a positive account balance.

There’s even a virtual sports section providing more betting opportunities. Marathon Bet live streaming features enough sporting markets to keep any avid bettor entertained for countless hours. It’s worth noting that restrictions apply to live streaming depending on your location. A strong wifi connection is also beneficial for both cost-saving and stability in the feed.

Marathon Bet Mobile App – 3/5

We love the convenience a mobile application can bring to the table. Marathon Bet offers two separate mobile applications, one for its sportsbook and the other for its casino patrons.

Here we focus on the mobile sports app in terms of compatibility, user-friendliness, and its main features.

Marathon Bet covers all the bases when it comes to mobile compatibility. Its sportsbook app is available on both Android and iOS devices. Our Marathon Bet review team found that downloading the app is straightforward and is available on both the play and the app store accordingly.

It doesn’t stop there, though. It has also made its sportsbook mobile-friendly, meaning we can access the site on any web browser-enabled device. Marathon Bet mobile is compatible with Chrome, Safari, Opera, and Yandex browsers

Graphics / User-friendliness

The look and feel of the Marathon Bet mobile app follow a similar design to the desktop version. Navigating through the app isn’t very intuitive, especially to those new on the platform. We only felt comfortable negotiating the mobile platform after spending a fair amount of time on it.

We found the main sections of the Marathon Bet mobile app, condensed into a collapsible menu, to save screen space. Almost all other features are still present on the app, offering the same in-depth look at team statistics.

Another great aspect of the Marathon Bet mobile app is its feature list. Instead of limiting its features like other bookmakers, Marathon Bet provides a mobile platform with all the features we find on the desktop version. In fact, it offers additional features specifically for mobile users.

An example of these additional features is the quick bet option<. As the name suggests, it makes placing a wager on any match incredibly simple. All we had to do was tap on the market and enter the amount we wished to stake. The convenient betting slip also made it easy to keep track of active bets.

The Marathon Bet mobile app offers all the sports markets we would find on the desktop version. This comes as a relief to mobile users as they don’t need to worry about missing out. We can also find the five most popular markets on any particular day, making it easy to view the main betting opportunities.

Marathon Bet Payment Options – 4/5

One of the most important aspects of a bookmaker is the payment options it provides. Our Marathon Bet review team found a total of nine payment methods, with each option supporting both deposits and withdrawals. Marathon Bet also offers a plethora of supported currencies, given its enormous player base around the world. Like the registration process, we couldn’t find the UK on its list of countries, yet Pound Sterling is available.

Debit cards like Visa, MasterCard, and Maestro require a minimum deposit of £1. The processing time for deposits on all cards is instantaneous. There also isn’t a commission fee charged. We can withdrawal a minimum of £5 and funds will reflect in our account after three to five days.

Marathon Bet features Skrill, MuchBetter, and Neteller as e-wallet providers. Both require a minimum deposit of £5 as well as an instant processing time. We aren’t charged a fee when depositing or withdrawing using these methods either. It requires a minimum withdrawal limit of £5, and it’s processed within 24 hours.

Virtual cards like AstroPay, ecoPayz, and Paysafecard are also available at Marathon Bet. The minimum deposit amount required is £5 for all virtual cards except AstroPay, which has a minimum of £1. Again, we don’t need to worry about commission fees for these payment methods.

Withdrawals on ecoPayz and Paysafecard require a minimum of £5, while the minimum on AstroPay is £1. Processing times for funds to reflect in your account take up to 24 hours, except AstroPay, which is instant.

Lastly, Marathon Bet allows for Bitcoin as a payment option. This is the only supported cryptocurrency at the time of this Marathon Bet review, and we hope to see more added to the list.

Bitcoin requires a minimum deposit of £5 and offers an instant processing time. Withdrawals need to be a minimum of £16, meaning Bitcoin has the highest limit of all the payment options. Similar to the majority of payment methods at Marathon Bet, withdrawn funds reflect in your account in under 24 hours.

Customer Care – 4/5

When it comes to customer care, Marathon Bet pulls out all the stops. Marathon Bet patrons can choose between three direct contact methods, namely, a live chat feature, calling, and emailing. The live chat feature is by far the most convenient, providing support within a few minutes.

\Marathon Bet lists a British landline on its website. In addition to these support options, there is also a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions section that is designed to give players and bettors alike all the information they may need to ensure a seamless betting and gaming experience. We appreciate this feature as it allows us to find most of the basic information needed to answer our questions.

Marathon Bet offers 27 support languages. One needs to simply select the flag icon on the top right of the screen that ascribes to you, and a drop-down menu will present the list of languages available.

Our Verdict – 3/5

To conclude this Marathon Bet review, we have found that the operator provides a comprehensive sportsbook with plenty of sports markets to choose from. The odds on offer are generally on par with other major competitive bookmakers. In some cases, Marathon Bet even gives slightly better odds, especially for those underdog sides.

Marathon Bet falls short when it comes to welcome promotions for its sportsbook, mainly focusing on catering for casino players. We feel this is something that needs to change, given the popularity of sports betting today.

Similarly, the layout and design of Marathon Bet’s sportsbook is very cluttered, and could perhaps do with a modern overhaul. Nevertheless, the bookmaker provides great customer support, regardless of what method we use.

Our Marathon Bet review team decided to give the bookmaker a final rating of three out of five.

What We Like

  • Wide variety of sports markets
  • Mobile application on both iOS and Android
  • Supports bitcoin as a payment method

What We Don’t Like

  • No welcome bonus
  • Promotions mainly focus on casino players

Memory Making

One afternoon we headed over to my parents' to spend the afternoon making grape jelly. Sure I could make it on my own but that's not what it's about.
Megan made us laugh. We measured out sugar and then she was told to go throw the bag away. She made sure she there was not one grain of sugar thrown away.
It's during this time in the kitchen that Megan is learning valuable skills from her Grammi.
While working mom opens up and talks about her time in the kitchen with her mom. I love hearing stores about her childhood and what life was like growing up on a farm.  She talks about all of the canning that was done by my grandmother. In those moments I learn more about my grandmother, mom and how things were in years past. From the stories I can visualize my grandmother in the kitchen making things to feed her growing family.
The grape jelly made is a bonus. What it's really about is the memories shared and the memories made.

I'll be back next week. Chuck's Friday off happens to fall on a holiday weekend which means we will have four glorious days together. I plan to head out Friday morning for my monthly grocery haul and then I will be making memories with my family. Happy Labor Day!

May your day be filled with joy in the journey!

Joy in the Ordinary

Look around, really look around and you will find joy... joy in the everyday... joy in the ordinary things.

Dinosaur is an excellent student. He's working on his spelling and vocabulary; which he takes seriously.

Laundry is a never ending task. It makes for a happier home if you find joy in clean laundry.
Megan's new fascination is rocks. She calls them geological samples. Ha!
This hawk is beautiful but I wish he would find another area to stalk. It's sad not seeing the birds fluttering around the feeder and birdbath.
I continue to step outside each evening. I am soaking in the evenings while I can. It's always a sad day when it the weather turns and I can't step into the yard at night.

Summer is hanging on even with the signs of Fall showing up.
Sunday afternoons are for resting and relaxing. I love that my guy finds it relaxing to play legos with his girl.
Anyone else have a child that loves mud? We've had mud soup, cakes and even bowls and plates. I love, love, love that she isn't to old to play and use her imagination. I say let them be little as life flies by and before we know it she'll be adulting. Yikes!
Just because the simple, everyday things with this guy make my heart happy.
May your day be filled with joy in the journey!

Saturday at Home

Saturday was such a beautiful day! I awoke a little before six and I was the first one up. That is rare since Chuck is an early riser. I took advantage of the quiet to slip outside with my Bible and a cup of tea.
It was only 58* when I stepped outside, so sipping some hot tea hit the spot. I spent some time with my Savior while watching the sun rise. A perfect start to what would be a perfect day!

The night before we had to make a run to the hardware store. While there I picked up some fall pretties.
While Chuck and I were weeding the flower beds Megan was romping around the yard.
 When the weeding was done I started to plant. The petunias needed pulled as they were starting to fade. I traded them out for mums.

I made a quick lunch of pizza roll ups. Easy, easy.
Roll out refrigerated pizza dough and then add your toppings of choice. I used tomato sauce, sausage and pepperoni. Roll up and cut into slices, like you would cinnamon rolls. Bake in a greased muffin tin at 425* for about 10 minutes. A fun take on pizza.
After lunch Megan helped Chuck with a project while I gave all of my flowers a good water.
The impatiens in the window boxes on the front of my home are full and beautiful this year. It brings me joy to pull into the drive and see them.
While Megan and Chuck finished their project I spent the remainder of the afternoon reading. I love days that can be spent on the back porch!
Chuck picked up a hitch hiker on his way back to the garage.
A perfect blend of beauty, work and relaxation. Grateful for a much needed day at home!

May your day be filled with joy in the journey!

Joy in the Ordinary

Look around, really look around and you will find joy... joy in the everyday... joy in the ordinary things.

The solar eclipse didn't disappoint! Our area saw a 91% eclipse. I loved that when it first started Megan said it looked like Cookie Monster had taken a big bite out of the sun.
A trip to the library replenished my reading pile.
The pictures in A Year of Picnics are like eye candy. They actually reminded me of something Monica The Homespun Heart would post. She is the queen of cute picnics!
We went to the fair with my in-laws and made tons of memories!
We enjoyed the show in the Pioneer Village that demonstrated how the old farm equipment worked. Megan took an interest in the history of wheat threshing.
After the show she asked a question and the man took the time to walk her through some things and let her touch and try her hand at threshing wheat.
 I don't think you can learn the history of wheat threshing this well from a book! This is exactly what I imagined when we made the decision the homeschool.

A dead tree was cut down on Saturday. We are blessed to have great people in our lives who are willing to help us!
There have been some amazing sunsets. Something I never tire of seeing.
Art consisted of heating rocks (350* for 10 minutes) and then using crayons to create a design. A fun project! If you do it, please, remember it needs constant adult supervision as it would be easy to forget that the rock is hot :)
Fresh, sweet Indiana corn. Yum!
 I stepped onto the back porch and noticed that the neighbors tree is changing.
Ready or not the change of season is coming!

May your day be filled with joy in the journey!

Random Thoughts

Cheryl from Copperwife advises to hold my plans loosely. Always great advise but I can really see the wisdom in it as I have started to homeschool.  During week one the math lesson plan was set aside and I went with plan B. Why? My girl needs some review in one area. It's easy to want to stay focused and to stay on schedule. Sometimes holding those plans loosely is the best thing in all matters of life. Soon we we will pick back up with the planned math.
Sleep is important! More important then a schedule. We had a late night and sleep in some. I should have let Megan sleep in more. We ended up with a few tears. (Hers not mine this time. *smile*) Only because my girl was tired. Lesson learned!!

You have to stick with your own convictions. When speaking with those who don't get homeschooling or even those super homeschoolers it's best to give short answers, smile and agree to disagree. The plan for my family may not be what you'd do, but the beauty is we can each do what we think is best.
This, this post right here really spoke to me. I've always felt tremendous pressure to be more, to do more and this post made me realize that the life I live is perfectly fine. It made me cry and realize that maybe I am doing exactly what God always planned for me.

I am having one of those moments where I am emotionally spent. The truck is broken, the lawn tractor died and I am having a health issue (nothing life threatening). I keep giving myself the pep talk to be grateful we have the van for Chuck to drive to work, be grateful that we have a push mower for the lawn and to be grateful that my health isn't worse.

We tried to buy a new lawn tractor. Inventory is low so it isn't a good time. Let's just say it was a disaster. I returned it yesterday and almost cried when leaving Home Depot.  My guy came home I fell into his arms and all was right with me again. Life can be hard.  Honestly we were never promised easy, but I know it will all work out.  I have been praying for God to help me to trust and have faith.
I have joined instagram; wendib_well  My account is private so you'll have to send me a request to follow along.

We have a jammed packed weekend planned. Friday we are going to the fair, Saturday we have people coming over to help cut down a tree and Sunday is our day of rest. After school I have to whip my home into shape and then do some grocery shopping for lunch on Saturday. You can't expect six men to work without feeding them. *smile* See you next week!

May your day be filled with joy in the journey!

Joy in the Ordinary

Look around, really look around and you will find joy... joy in the everyday... joy in the ordinary things.

Life has been keeping me busy. They will be a couple of weeks worth of pictures in this post.

The funeral procession for the police officer that was killed in the line of duty.  You might wonder how I can find joy in this.
 This is what I said on my FB page about it. "Walked to the main street and watched my community come together to honor fallen officer Lt. Allan. Seeing our community line the sidewalks made me proud to call this place home. Words can't describe what it was like to see a mile of police cars coming down the street. One of those things I pray is a once in a lifetime event."

A hard day but it was reassuring that in a world that seems uncaring and sometimes very evil there are still people who care. The officer and his family where people of faith and it was evident as all through this day. The end of watch radio call referenced John 15:13.

Our Iowa family was in town over night. We ended up with some additional family over for a cookout the night they were in town. I took one picture the whole time. This Megan and her cousin Andrea. I guess you could say I was living in the moment. *smile*
 Chuck received free tickets to a baseball game from his employer.
 It was a beautiful evening and we really enjoyed it.

 There were some cooler days which meant I could make comfort food. Sadly the heat and humidity is back.

 Both Megan and I are thoroughly enjoying our adventure in homeschooling. So many things I could say about it but that will be a topic for another post.

The day awaits me so I need to run. Our riding lawn mower broke beyond repair so I need to go out and start pushing.  I hope to complete that task before the heat of day builds.

May your day be filled with joy in the journey!

I went camping with some friends and learned about growing sprouts! Once I got home, I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did!! Some of the benefits of eating sprouts are: they are biogenic and produce life in our body, rival meat in nutritive value, full of antioxidants, high in fiber, and full of vitamins and minerals.

If you want to give it a try, this is how I did it:

I bought a mason jar sprouting kit and put a table spoon of sprout seeds in a jar, with about an inch of water. I left this in the pantry with the light out over night. I used a spicy variety, but there are tons of different options to try. Two times a day, I rinsed and drained the jar and then put it back in the dark pantry for a total of five days. On the fifth day, I let it sit out on the counter for about a half a day to get some sun.

At the end of the day, I de-hulled the sprouts by using a salad spinner, filling it with water and draining it, sifting out as many hulls as I could until most of them were gone. Then I spun it, put all the sprouts in a baggie and put it in the fridge.

I made a really delicious salmon salad and threw on the sprouts! It was DELICIOUS!!! I highly recommend.

This next time, I’m going to try to grow some mung beans, since they look a little thicker and I think I would like the crunch!!

Ready for the cold!!

I had the most fun this weekend.  I lucked out and got to go to the Blake Shelton Concert at Choctaw Casino with my dear friends and family! It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever gone to.  He interacts with the crowd like we’re all at a party in his backyard.  He was so engaging, and of course his music is amazing!! I hope he comes back again next year and I can go again!!

I’ve been eyeing this fur-lined puffer coat all winter because I LOVE coats and this one is super cute!  It’s down filled and really warm. It finally went on sale, so I got it in white.  I hope I get a reason to wear it soon.  It doesn’t get extremely cold in winter, but if it even gets slightly cool, I’ll be wearing this out and about!! The fur comes separately, so you can wear it with or without the fur hoodie!

(I probably need to put make up on when I take these pictures, so ignore that for me!! I usually don’t take pictures with my face in them so I don’t have to wear make up!)

Valentine’s Day Decor

I’ve never been the one to decorate my house for the different seasons or holidays, but after Christmas was over, I really missed having those decorations.  I am going to start buying cute little things this year for different seasons and holidays.  Since Valentine’s Day is coming, I bought some cute little LOVE blocks.  These are cute for the mantle. I also might take them in the RV if I go somewhere around Valentine’s Day.  They’re not too thick, so I can put something behind it if I want.  I wish I could have found more stuff on Amazon, so I wouldn’t have to actually go to the store to find holiday decor.

I also got little red throw pillow covers for the couch. I couldn’t find any already made pillows so I had to buy the pillows to go inside. I want to put some square pillows in front of these that say LOVE or something else Valentinesy in front of the ones I have.  I think later today I’ll head to Hobby Lobby and get some more stuff!

Grid Pattern Sweater

I was so excited about this sweater that I pulled it right out of the package and put it on, so there are a few wrinkles.   Now that I have it on, I’m not 100% sold on it.  I love the feel of the sweater. It’s really soft. What I’m not sure of is the fit on me. I was thinking it would be more of a cowl neck, but it’s really more of a turtle neck.  The length is perfect.  It’s even a little longer in the back.  What do you think?  Should I keep it or return it!?

Color Block Sweater 2

This is the second color block sweater I got from Amazon.  I was expecting not to like this much, because I don’t love over sized sweaters on me, but the length of this sweater makes up for that.  The sweater material is so soft.  I don’t think it’s going to be very warm, so it will be best on a cool day.   I love the colors on this one.  The light blue paired with the orange is really striking together!  I will definitely get my money’s worth out of this one!!

Cheetah Brown sweater

I was really excited about this sweater when I saw it on Amazon!  I love to wear browns and this has a cheetah block which gives it a little depth.  It’s a lighter weight knit and feels comfortable on. It looks like it would be itchy, but it’s not.  I am wearing a small, but I think that it’s a little large on me. Sadly, I’m probably going to return it because it’s too big, but I really like it other than that.

Marcy Utility Workout Bench

My husband prefers to work out at home, so we have turned one of the rooms in our house into a home gym.  He needed a work out bench and some weights so he could do some additional things that don’t include our machine.  We bought the Marcy Utility Workout Bench, but it came unassembled.  We were supposed to assemble it together, but I was alone on Saturday and decided to give it a try.  I put a couple of pieces on upside down and had to go back and fix it, but even with that it took me about 40 minutes.

I don’t have any wrenches or tools either, so I had to use some random tools that came with other things I have bought over the year.  I’m pretty sure real tools would make it much easier to put it together and I could have done it faster.

I really love this bench. I may even have to use it myself if I ever decide I want to work out at home!!

Baby, I’m a Star (Sweater)!

Star sweaters have been really in this year, but I haven’t been totally sold on all the little stars all over the sweater, but this great big star totally has me!! I love the fit of the sweater. The material is soft and a little better made than some of the other sweaters I’ve gotten through Amazon.  I’ll definitely be keeping this one and wearing it often!!

This also comes in a really cute heart pattern. It would be perfect for Valentine’s Day!!

Color Block Sweater

I’m a fan of the color block sweaters! I’ve been eyeing them, trying to figure out what color options I thought were the best for me.  I finally decided on the blues.  This one is extra cute because it has bell sleeves!  The sweater material is soft and loose feeling.  I ordered a small and it fit true to size. It’s meant to be oversized.  This is a fun sweater that you can dress up or dress down. It made for a great opportunity to wear my over the knees boots!

This is the first group of photos I took using my new selfie lighting ring and tripod! It was really easy to use!

Frayed sweater

Ever since I saw these frayed sweaters, I’ve been wanting one.  I finally found one for a good price on Amazon, so I went ahead and got it.  This one gets bonus points for having a leopard print, but it comes in various other color options.  I am going to enjoy this over the next few months of the light winter we have in Texas!

• Bitcoin has stalled despite posting a weekly close above the pivotal $11,800 level that analysts eyed.
  • BTC remains in a textbook bullish chart pattern.
  • That pattern is an ascending triangle, which has been a pattern of importance throughout Bitcoin’s history.
  • This specific iteration of the pattern predicts that Bitcoin will soon hit $13,000.
  • As of this article’s writing, BTC trades for $11,820, down slightly in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin Could Soon Hit $13,000, Ascending Triangle Pattern Predicts

Bitcoin is on track to hit $13,000 in the near future as it continues to confirm a textbook bullish pattern, one trader has suggested.

Referencing how Bitcoin has formed an ascending triangle marked by higher lows and equal highs, he wrote in regards to the chart below:

“As easy as it gets. The simple $BTC plays.”

Chart of BTC's price action over the past few weeks with an analysis by trader Cold Blooded Shiller (@ColdBloodshill on Twitter). Chart from TradingView.com

Not everyone thinks this is a textbook ascending triangle, though.

As reported by Bitcoinist, one trader postulated that the ascending triangle is slowly converting into a rising wedge. A rising wedge looks similar to an ascending triangle, but is actually seen as a textbook bearish pattern as it often precedes retracements.

The trader in question remarked that Bitcoin may be in dangerous territory because the rising wedge is forming, along with bearish divergences:

“The bullish ascending triangle (preceded by a rising trend, which is good) started to look like a bearish rising wedge.  Together with extended bearish (potentially exaggerated) divergencies the situation becomes slightly dangerous for bulls.”

How Fundamentals Could Boost BTC Further

Fundamentals are expected to push the leading cryptocurrency higher, likely towards $14,000, then $20,000 according to Mike Novogratz.

The Galaxy Digital chief executive said to CNBC earlier this month that the increase in money printing by central banks will boost Bitcoin. This is likely in reference to how the supply of the leading cryptocurrency is fixed whilst fiat monies can be printed at will.

As Bloomberg wrote on Novogratz’s recent comments:

“He said he thought the cryptocurrency, which has surged in value in recent weeks, had “crossed the Rubicon” on the question of whether it’s a good store of value, and said he considers it a better investment than gold at the moment.”

Other fundamentals set to strengthen Bitcoin’s case for upside include the increase in circulating USDT, Dave Portnoy buying BTC, and an increase in the hash rate.

Photos & podcast: On Benjamin Britten, WH Auden & Gypsy Rose Lee

In Audio, Features, Interviews, London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Quotes by Terri PaddockLeave a Comment

A New York artistic commune in the early 1940s – occupied by British exiles Benjamin Britten, WH Auden, American novelist Carson McCullers (The Heart is a Lonely Hunter) and stripper Gypsy Rose Lee amongst many other artists – is the setting for Zoe Lewis‘ new play Britten in Brooklyn, which has just premiered at London’s Wilton’s Music Hall.

BRITTEN IN BROOKLYN – Wilton’s Music Hall

In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Johnny FoxLeave a Comment

Washed up in wartime, Britten, his friend and romantic obsession W H Auden, the tedious waif-like poet and novelist Carson McCullers, and stripper turned thriller writer Gypsy Rose Lee shared a bohemian squat in a dilapidated row house in Brooklyn Heights from where they tried to influence the US’s entry into the war with pacifist writings and socialite dinner parties.

Policy Intentions:

  • Require the provision of accommodation aimed at achieving various degrees of independent living for older or vulnerable people on all new major residential developments.
  • Support developments aimed at independent living elsewhere within certain criteria.
  • Not permit new care homes unless they replace an existing one and there is a continuing need, or there is insufficient provision locally to meet that type of specialist care.
  • Require lifetime home standards on new developments.
  • Support residential annexes (granny annexes).

Residential Design Guidance Note; Protecting the living conditions of neighbours. NSC June 2009

This is a suite of policies designed to meet the needs of an ageing population. The emphasis is on developing a range of accommodation to provide greater choice and independence. It reflects a move away from traditional care homes towards support for different types of assisted independent living.

Policy DM 40: Retirement accommodation and supported independent living for older and vulnerable people

DM40 retirement accomm

The council will support development of a range of accommodation aimed at independent living for older and vulnerable people provided that:

  • it is located within the settlement boundary;
  • shops, public transport, community facilities and medical services can be reached easily by those without access to a car, as appropriate to the needs and level of mobility of potential residents; and
  • it will provide an appropriate standard of facilities, independence, support and/or care.

The provision of accommodation aimed at achieving various degrees of independent living for older or vulnerable people will be required on all residential planning developments over 100 dwellings.

Policy DM 41: Nursing and care homes for older people and other vulnerable people (includes drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres)

Planning permission will not be granted for extensions to or new residential care or nursing homes within Class C2 of the Use Classes Order (including the change of use of an existing property) unless:

  • the new proposal replaces an existing similar sized care home in North Somerset which will no longer be used for that purpose and there is a continuing identified local need; or where it can be demonstrated that there is insufficient provision in the locality to meet local need for that type of specialist care;
  • the proposal is within a defined settlement boundary. Outside settlement boundaries evidence will need to be provided that no alternative site exists within the towns or villages and that it is accessible by public transport;
  • the proposals itself or in conjunction with other similar uses or proposals nearby, will not harm the overall environmental, social or economic character of the surrounding area and/or character and amenities of adjacent properties; and
  • sufficient outdoor space is available for quiet relaxation either within the curtilage or in reasonable proximity.

Where appropriate, conditions will be attached to any new proposal to restrict any subsequent change of use to an alternative type of care home or use.

A separate evidence paper has been produced setting out the background data to develop policy for the Planning Management of Care Homes and schemes for Older People. The document can be viewed here.

Policy DM 42: Lifetime homes

All new residential development including residential annexes aimed at older people and age-restricted either by planning condition or as part of any leasing/renting agreement will be required to meet the Lifetime Homes Standards.

All new build residential developments over 10 dwellings will be required to be constructed to Lifetime Home standards. Conversions will be expected to meet the standards as far as practicable.

DM43 residential annex

Policy DM 43: Residential annexes

Within settlement boundaries proposals will be permitted for residential annexes where they meet the design standards set out in policy DM 31 (High quality design and place making).

In other settlements and the countryside annexes will only be permitted where they are clearly an extension to the main dwelling and can be converted into the main dwelling once there is no longer a need for the annex. Proposals which are not designed as an integral part of the house will not be permitted.

Note: Any proposals in the Green Belt will also need to comply with Policy DM 13 (Development within the Green Belt).

Policy DM 44

Gypsy and Travellers

Core Strategy Policies

CS 18 Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Show people

Replacement Local Plan Policies

H/12 Sites for gypsies and travelling show people

Policy Intentions:

  • Ensure that any new sites are well related to local services and facilities and do not impact on the surrounding countryside.
  • To minimise tensions between the settled and travelling communities.
  • Ensure that any sites meet the needs of the travelling community.
  • Avoid circumstances where there is pressure to grant permission on appeal on inappropriate sites.

This policy is based on the Core Strategy policy but updated to reflect the changes introduced by the government's Planning Policy for Traveller Sites and taking into account the North Somerset Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Consultation 2011. A 'call for sites' initiative in the context of the Gypsy and Travellers Site Allocations DPD in 2009 failed to identify deliverable sites which met appropriate locational or site suitablility criteria. A decision was taken not to proceed with that document and instead to incorporate the Gypsy and Traveller site allocations as part of the Sites and Policies Plan. The Weston Villages SPD recognised the potential of this new strategic allocation to either identify suitable sites within the development or to negotiate off-site locations for residential sites for Gypsies and Travellers. Following an initial consideration of potential opportunities to bring forward sites as part of the Weston Villages development and discussion with landowners, two off-site opportunities have been identified. One of these at Old Junction Yard is proposed as an allocation. The other site west of Winterstoke Road is allocated for mixed use, but it is recognised that a Gypsy and Traveller site in this location may also be appropriate, but that will require further investigation. Further consideration will also be given to the potential to deliver additional sites within the Weston Villages development or at off-site locations, as the proposals for the development are further developed and in line with the Weston Villages SPD.

Policy DM 44: Gypsies and Travellers

The council will seek to meet the identified requirement of 60 pitches by 2016 through the allocation of sites and the granting of planning consent.

Land at Old Junction Yard, Winterstoke Road, Weston-super-Mare as shown on the Proposal Map, is allocated as a Gypsy and Traveller site to accommodate around 20 managed residential pitches with the potential for the inclusion of a small number of short stay transit pitches.

In addition, the mixed use allocation of land west of Winterstoke Road, Weston-super-Mare as shown on the Proposals Map for residential and employment use may also represent an opportunity to investigate its potential to accommodate a small (around 12 managed pitches) Gypsy and Traveller site as part of a mixed use development. This will require further detailed investigations to address in particular flood risk and its relationship to neighbouring uses.

In determining planning applications for gypsy and traveller sites priority will be given to sites that are outside of the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and are:

i) Within settlement boundaries and in particular within the Weston Villages;

ii) On previously developed land;

iii) Close to local services and facilities;

iv) Capable of being developed without dominating or harming the character and living conditions of adjacent property and the local area;

v) Well located to the major road network.

In order to meet the identified need, sites outside of settlement boundaries may have to be considered These will have to be sensitively located and meet criteria (ii) - (v) above.

Spitting Caves, Oahu, Hawaii

After a quick stop at Lania Lookout we headed to a sunset spot Spitting Caves, also known as China Walls. Caves in the cliff spit out the water as the waves crash into them. It’s literally a run down path between two houses that looks like it’s probably a pee alley. You go down a steepish dirt path that opens out onto amazing ocean views and rocks. It was already getting busy with sunset watchers and whale watchers when we got there. P later commented that in the USA people actually stop to watch the sunset. This was more so along the Big Sur, but then you have to stop and watch the sunset along the Big Sur. If I can I like to watch the sunrise to sunsets.

I was more incited by the rocks and the water hitting and swirling around the rock face. So many red layers that contrasted with the blues. I didn’t notice until looking at the photos there’s a rope ladder and a rope to get down to the rocks. Or for after Google images, climbing back up after cliff diving. I didn’t know at the time it was Spitting Cave. Now it clicks the beautiful swirling sea ocean patterns. I can never get used to call it the ocean. I’m used to sea.

As I wanted some p&q I sat away from the main crowd on naturally worn away stone that was like a seat. Filled with warmth from the day and for stone comfy to sit on. It was an in memory of seat. I can see why they came to watch the ocean and light. Or perhaps he was a cliff diver who lost his life living it full cliff diving. There was also a rescue ring with Lei so I’m hoping this place has some good juju! Flowers are normally placed where people died or they are in Europe along roads. Or maybe it was an ocean offering.

Lumahai Street
Path down
The view that greets you

The houses were amazing. They must cost a bomb to run and fed up with tourists tramping everywhere for the views, but amazing nonetheless. And sh*t in a storm so close to the water. I’m sure Hawaii like everywhere else has it’s problems, high rent, high living costs, dependency on tourism (which shows in a pandemic like now), unemployment, gentrification, at times limited to what you can do but an upside must be the being on a beautiful island that has a bit of everything: wilderness, city, being able to be in the water all year round.

Lanai Lookout, Oahu, Hawaii (I Think)

On the way to catch the sunset after Kailua Beach we stopped off at Lanai Lookout which has amazing views the rocks and ocean. Where the ocean hit the rocks and swirls it produced were mesmerising.

The hill behind you can see the lava flows now taken over by nature. These lava flows continue to the rock in less quicker flowing layers. More like the end of the flow when it speed slowed down the lava spread out to be curved edges or perhaps it’s more where the ocean and wind has shaped the rocks. Signs are up saying no crossing beyond this point, but who obeys signs when the views are something else?

Kailua Beach, Oahu

We didn’t stop long at Kailua Beach as there was a sunset to catch later. The silky soft gets everywhere sandy beach. Sunny skies when we got there after hiking the Pillbox Hike. Clouds came later. Well, they appeared as soon as we found spot. That’s how the island went. Sunny mornings with few clouds, afternoons cloudy depending on what part of the island you were on.

Sun out of the clouds warm, behind the clouds a little chilly, but you know beach equals sunbathing if it’s 25C plus. The water was so warm. Bathwater water warm which meant I didn’t want to get out. Perfect with chilly thermal layer bits. I think it was quite shallow too. The bit we chose was close to a river mouth. People kayaking up to chill at the beach and an after school sailing club on outriggers.

While tomando sol a little french bulldog got lost. S/He jumped over P to sit right by my head waiting for their human. I wasn’t bothered (well kinda as I had my bikini straps down and didn’t want to fall out if I sat up in that particular bikini). I was honoured they choose me to wait until reunited with their human. It’s human didn’t take long, about 30 seconds to find him/her again before being off again for daily adventures. Maybe I smelt safe for the lost minute.

First Hawaiian Hike! For once we got out fairly earlyish but still late as we’d been travelling the day before and spent the afternoon exploring Honolulu’s main shopping street. Although we had more fun finding Farmland Farm in Ala Moana Mall, one of Oahu’s supermarket chains in the evening, getting back late and eating late which was the theme of the whole Oahu and Northern Californian trip earlier this year.

Farmland Farm was also the best recuerdos or souvenirs. All gifts are local to Oahu or the islands, supporting small businesses. I got some great flour sack print towels I’ll never use as they’re too nice! I want to frame them instead. Sadly researching the printer they’re no longer printing. Farmland Farm also has a great organic section mixed in with non organic foods (which I like, as you get more options) and sold many Hawaiian brands. It was a little expensive factoring in most other items are shipped in however we found everything we needed. During the whole trip we only ate out 3 times, none of which were in Oahu. 2 times were great, the other a disappointment. We prefer to stay apartment hotels or airbnb to keep costs lower by making own meals. We get back late when most places have closed the kitchens so it makes more sense. Being vegans, it makes everything easier to make own meals too.

2nd Pillbox. Chinaman’s hat in the distance

Anyways, The Lanikai Pill Box hike is in Lanikai, Kailua along Kaiwa mountain range I think the posher part of the Island. All the houses looked kinda immaculate driving through the neighbourhood and looking down from the hike the lawns looked manicured. We parked near the golf course, so it’s in a posher area for sure.

We found out about the hike from watching a few YouTube videos before and online I think Trip Advisor. The start of the hike is a blink and you’ll miss it. It’s just a road construction sign with directions. Some comments said it can be muddy and thankfully it was dry. We only took our workout trainers as who needs hiking boots in Oahu?! Maybe shoulda took them. I felt for girls in sandals, cute IG outfits for the pictures awaiting ahead struggling on the path. The trail is ranked intermediate as it gets rocky and steep in places with parts of the trial nothing to grab hold onto. Being British we find the term hiking a little weird. Even saying the word hike is weird. For us it’s a walk. Hiking is what takes you all day or a few days in remoteness in the mountains and even then we probably wouldn’t use the word hike. Anything less is a walk regardless of the terrain with trails being paths. The hike takes about an hour’s loop to the first pillbox.

As usual I’m a shit editor with photos. I cut out a lot. A lot!

Path to 2nd Pillbox
Chinaman’s Hat in the distance

The views at the top are 100% worth hiking up for. If you want no humans, Instagrammers taking all day to get the shot go early. It’s a popular trail, everybody wants a photo of them there. I did too but I gave up waiting my turn or any vista with few humans. We hiked onto the 2nd pillbox with less people and then onto the 3rd which is now just it’s base. So much quieter and got to walk through shaded wooded bit. We didn’t see anybody past the 2nd pillbox. The hike went on over the range top however as it was getting late in the afternoon, there was a beach to hit and more importantly the water.

Long time no see! How’s your summer?

Mine got a little busy with everyday life, holiday in Mallorca, Mac iPhoto misbehaving and something had to take back seat for a while. Sadly natjtan. It got a little frustrating, but like an old Chinese proverb I saved from an Li BingBing Instyle Magazine Interview back when I used to read it: Time is like water in a sponge. You can always find it if you squeeze hard enough. Another way of saying if you want it, you’ll make time or find a way. I always feel I can never commit myself to things 100% as there’s always something else calling me or needs doing in a house of chores. Forget the evenings. My eyes are so heavy they just want to close.

P was here for a while so I couldn’t do as much as usual (he knows that), gyms closed for a local recommneded stay at home ‘lockdown’ for a few weeks due to a raise in covid-19 cases along with the zoo, cinemas, bars and restaurants back to reduced capacity. My gym and the city council along with a few other gyms petitioned against the regional government’s decision to close the gyms under the hastag #deporteessalud: sport is health rebelling initially against the closure. The Justice court overturned the gym closure decision. I was getting more demotivated everyday to workout at home, putting off for later. After 3 months working out at home then back at the gym for a month, then at home again I really missed the gym. Even if I don’t talk to anyone there, I concentrate better, it’s air conditioned, I get out the house. The zoo petitioned to stay open, reopening 5 days later after joining both my gym, climbing gym in being rebels staying open. The zoo on its initial reopening after the end of lockdown already had a Covid-19 Global Safe Site certificate and a Safe Tourism Certified seal, yet they had to reclose again too.

Grammar Notes

Potawatomi is NOT English. This is the first concept to grasp for all language learners who are first speakers of English. There is a paradigm shift necessary to grasp Potawatomi.

The first concept to learn is Animate Nouns vs. Inanimate Nouns

Bmadzewen: Shkwedé mine Nibi mine Senik mine Skebgyak mine Nizhogadék mine Nyéwogadék mine Bebamojegéniyek mine Ébmashiwat….Wnago mine Ngom mine Wabek…

Life:  The fire, the water, the rock, the green, the two-leggeds, the four-leggeds, the creeping crawling ones, and the winged ones….The past, the present, and the future…

Any of the following can cause a noun to be considered animate:

  • Alive
  • Has a heartbeat
  • Once had a heartbeat
  • Moves independently
  • Grows
  • Attached to a source of life
  • Reanimated in ceremony

Any of the following can cause a noun to be considered animate:

  • Not Alive (this does not mean dead.)
  • Does not move independently
  • Does not grow
  • Is a part of something animate (like a body part)
  • Detached from source of life
  • Ceremonial object in storage

Animacy is not fixed! Many nouns can change states depending on the context and how they are used. Animate berries become inanimate when picked. Animate ceremonial objects become inanimate when they are placed in storage. Everything in the sentence must agree with the animacy of the conversation.

In Potawatomi there are no “articles”, no words for “the,” “a,” or “an.” There is a set of clearly defined Demonstrative Pronouns: This, That, These, and Those. Sometimes they can be translated as “the” or “a”, but that is purely for the sake of English flow.

There are Personal Pronouns in Potawatomi, and these 7 “who’s” describe how Potawatomi people relate to each other.

There are 4 types of Verbs in Potawatomi:

  • Animate Intransitive
    • Someone or something animate completes an action that does not interact with anyone or anything else.
      • Nde jibdeb – I am sitting
      • Nde wawijgémen – We are reading
    • Someone or something animate is described by a verb.
      • Mbigéj – I am cold
      • Mbiwé o nemo – The dog is wet
  • Inanimate Intransitive
    • Something inanimate is described.
      • Gshedémget – It is hot
      • Bokshkamget – It is broken
      • Wawyéyamget i pkwakwet – The ball is round
    • An action with no subject is related, usually related to weather.
      • Gméyamget – It is raining
      • Bonimget – It is snowing
  • Animate Transitive
    • Two animate beings interact with each other.
      • Gwabmen – I see you
      • Gwabem – You see me
      • Gigo nde mwa – I am eating the fish
  • Inanimate Transitive
    • An animate being interacts with an inanimate object.
      • Pkwakwet ngi dgeshkan – I kicked the ball
      • Msenegen ngi wawidan – I read the paper

Graph Databases in 60 seconds

18 Aug, 2021

A property graph database is a data storage system that treats relationship between data entities with equal importance to the data itself. In comparison, relational databases use table structures to store data, requiring mapping tables and join queries to connect data entities together. In essence, a relational database does joins on read, whereas a graph database does joins on write. This paradigm shift in data storage allows us to switch from asking ‘is my data connected?’ to ‘how is my data connected?’ enabling us to make exciting and profound discoveries. So what does this mean? It means that if you’ve got highly-connected data questions, such as detecting fraud in a banking system, predicting network outages, or just finding the fastest route from A to B, a graph database answers those questions quickly, efficiently and easily. Curious to find out more about graph databases? Why not give one of our free, no-download guided sandboxes a test drive:

Chhori turns 2: the celebration party

We decided to have a party to celebrate Chhori’s birthday with our friends and family after puja. We started planning when we were here in Sydney with my in laws so we had a venue booked months in advance. I also found photographer via Facebook so they were booked for the day as well.

I am sure anyone who is trying to book an event from overseas goes through lots of frustrations when you can’t find the right vendor to execute your ideas. I had the same problem when we planned our wedding and it was no different this time.

We had no idea what was available in Nepal in terms of decoration so I bought everything I could think of from here and I am so glad I did. Because when we got there, I couldn’t get the things that we wanted.

As the venue and photographer were sorted, the next big thing was cake and decoration. I bought the Dora cake topper from here so we got the baker to do a cake with those. I was pretty happy with the cake.

We also ordered cupcakes which did not turn out as planned. The cupcake was not the pink colour we wanted and it was not decorated as we had explained but I guess we shouldn’t have set our expectation too high since everyone seemed to use their own ideas instead of following ours 😦

The biggest problem we faced was not finding a person to do helium balloons. After searching and talking to so many people, finally when I put out a call for help on Facebook and a friend gave us the number of a guy who did the balloons. We got the number just a day before the party and I was so worried on what to do until then.

The other big problem was our outfit. I had this vision to have me and Chhori wearing similar colour outfit and AS can have tie to coordinate with us. It turned out choosing the outfit was not easy as I planned because there are too many choices. Finally after going to a few boutiques, I settled on golden and fuchsia pink lengha and Chhori was getting fuchsia pink princess style gown.

It took many visits to get the dresses right fitting but the end result was perfect. I loved them.

It was a big job to find fuchsia pink tie in Kathmandu. The shop keepers had millions of other suggestions on the tie if they didn’t have the one I needed. But finally we found a shop that sold one and was super happy with it.

When the day of party arrived I was happy as most of the stuff were sorted. I got my make-up done and got dressed and got Chhori ready. AS was busy getting the decoration finished and picking up the cake.

He has always been so supportive of my ideas and when I plan, he helps me to make my plans come true. I think we complement each other well.

The photographers were already at the venue when we arrived. I was glad to see all the decoration looked as we planned. The hall was looking beautiful with hundreds of white and pink balloons floating around.

We had a few hours left before the guests arrived so we took photos of Chhori, us and with our parents.

Slowly, the venue started to fill with family and friends. I hadn’t met many of them for a while so it was great time for all of us.

After a couple of hours into the party, we cut the cake and then on to the dance floor as usual.

I had been teaching Chhori to dance to the Nepali move song “Sirai ma sirbandi” for the last few month but I didn’t know if she would dance or not. But she made us so proud by dancing to the song with all the right moves and steps. She actually danced twice to the song and we got some amazing photos and video of that. She was looking totally adorable and princessy in her cute outfit.

All our relatives were dancing and enjoying themselves as well. It was a really happy occasion for us to celebrate the birthday of our beautiful daughter with our close family and friends.

By 10 pm the guests had dinner and stared to leave. Chhori was really tired and was fast sleep on the sofa. It was a long day but we were very happy with the end result.

Chhori was spoiled by everyone with gifts, dresses and money. I know Chhori doesn’t understand much yet but we have some great photos and videos that she can go through when she is a bit older.

I will write more about our trip to Nepal in the next post. Till then take care.

Chhori turns 2 – Birthday Puja

One of the main reasons for our visit to Nepal this time was to celebrate Chhori 2nd birthday in Nepal with friends and family.

In Newari culture, for reasons unknown and out of tradition handed down from generation to generation, the first birthday of a child is not celebrated. When a child is born, we have chhaiti, nwaran then pasni. After pasni, the big celebration is second birthday, which is known as Nirbuni.

Time goes by so quickly and our little munchkin turned a BIG 2 on 20 Feb.

As we were in Nepal for the celebration, we followed Newari culture to perform her birthday puja.

In Newari culture, we make Yomari every even birthday 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12. Yomari is a delicacy of the Newars. It consists of an external covering of rice-flour and an inner content of sweet substances such as chaku (Molasses). Click here for the recipe.

We had planned things in advance for this and were happy that things came together as planned on the big day.

On her birthday, in the morning, MIL prepared for birthday puja with sagun (traditional plate typically consisting of a boiled egg, smoked fish, a “bara”, haku chhoila” and “aila” and “dhau”) .

We had other relatives who were invited for the occasion including my parents, uncles and aunts.

The puja started with tika and yomari mala (garland) from my MIL followed by ritual to pour bits of rice, radish, coins, and cucumber in a small container from her head. This is believed to drive any evil spirit.

Then it was followed by Sagun and gifts to her.She was really spoiled with gifts like dresses and jewelleries.

My parents had come with my relatives to celebrate Chhori’s birthday with lots of food which included rotis, fruits, sagun and gifts.

After my MIL my mum and aunt did similar puja. Tika and sagun was followed by gifts to Chhori, me, AS and to my in laws.

Chhori loved the whole process except when the yomari garland was put around her neck as the string annoyed her and she wanted to take it out. She was happy with so many people around us that day for the whole day. We really had a great time with all the relatives.

After all the puja was finished, we had cake smash for her too. What a difference a year can make. When we had done the cake smash on Chhori’s first birthday, she was happy to be messy and smashed the cake well, which gave us some amazing photos but this year she definitely has become a big girl.

At first she just used her finger to taste the cake and then asked for a knife to cut the cake when asked to smash it. Nevertheless we had a great time and she had a lot of fun sharing a piece with everyone.

The day was long but fun and exciting.

We had her birthday party on another day so I will write more about it in my next post.

Till then, take care everyone and happy Monday.

Dashain – family, playing cards, food and celebration

As I mentioned in my previous post, we celebrated Dashain from 1st October-15 October. Like every year I was super busy performing rituals at home and going for tika at different relatives places. But I have to admit that I am really tired this year compared to the last few years, looks like my age is catching up on me 🙂

Dashain (18)

On Asthami, my parents, my brother’s family and a few of my friends’ family went to the Helensburg temple. The temple had a great vibe going with lots of people praying and special chanting going on for the occasion of Dashain. Helensburgh (3)

Of course after the ritual, we went to their canteen for breakfast and I had my favourite Masala Dosa 🙂

Helensburgh (17)

On Nawami, apart from Kumari and Ganesh puja, I have mentioned before, we did Gadi puja as well .Please click here for more information on why it is done.

dashain-2 dashain-11

Dashami or Tika day was really busy for us. First of all, in the morning we need to do puja at home using Jamara and then Chhori had her first tika of her life from me and AS.

Then we went to my parents’ place so they can give us blessings (and money :)). It was a great feeling to have my parents here. It has been more than a decade that I got to be together with my parents during Dashain so it was extra special.

dashain-9 dashain-7

There we put tika for my brother, SIL and nephew and they put tika for Chhori. We had lunch there and went to visit other relatives. We went to few places before coming back to my parents’ place. By the time, we came back home that evening it was past 10 pm and all of us were really tired.

Chhori had a great time for sure and she was wearing Lengha for the first time in her life. It was a gift given to her from my friend’s mum and she looked super cute.

The next day we were again invited to another friend’s place. I had to work that day so after work we went to their place. There I managed to play some cards as AS was minding Chhori.

It must have been a lucky day for me as I won some money, only $50 but we had so much fun.

On Saturday, the last day of Dashain we invited our friends and family for tika and bhoj. I was cooking for around 30 people so was in kitchen for almost the whole day. But the evening was wonderful with family and relatives.

Dashain (9)

Chhori definitely had a great time and was spoiled with blessings and gifts.

Overall, we had a great week of celebration and eating lots of yummy food. I am sure I have put on a couple of kilos  🙂

Dashain Tika (5)

Hope all of you celebrating Dashain had a great one as well.

Take care everyone,

Ganesh and Kumari puja during Nawami

In Newari tradition, during Nawami young girls and boys are worshipped as Ganesh and Kumari. It is believed that young children are pure and God resides in their body.

As my parents are here this year, we did the ritual this morning.

We had Chhori as Kumari and my nephew as Ganesh.

To celebrate Dashain, I dressed Chhori in traditional Nepali kurta. I absolutely love traditional outfits on Chhori, she looks so cute.

We did the simple process for puja; just tika and flower first, then all the adults gave them gifts or money and touched their feet for blessing. Both the kids were over joyed getting all the money and gifts.

dashain-2 dashain-3 dashain-4

It feels so good to do traditional things for Dahain. Made me miss Nepal a little less this year.

dashain-1 dashain-5 dashain-6

Hope everyone who is celebrating Dashain is having a great time.

Happy Dashain once again!!!

Here are the posts I have written regarding Dashian over the years .

Dashain Kite festival in Sydney

The biggest festival for Nepalese, Dashain, started from 1st October and we had a great start to the festival.

This year it is really special for us as I have my parents here and this will be the first time Chhori can have Dashain Tika as we couldn’t celebrate last year.

Dashain (18)

On Saturday, it was Gathasthapana, the day we plant Jamara. That day in Sydney, we also had another event to attend, the Kite festival organised by Guthi Australia.

They have been organising this event for the last few years and I really like it. They try to bring the Dashain vibe from Nepal to Sydney as much as possible by organising lots of cultural and traditional things during the gathering.

The function was held in the Rockdale Bicentenary Park and the entry was free.

The main highlights of the event for me was the Rath (Charito), Kumari, Lakhe and colourful kites in the sky.

The Rath was done better than last year. It was a smaller version of the Rath in Nepal but it was great for kids to understand what the Rath looks like and they were allowed to pull them around the ground as well.

There was a little girl dresses up as Kumari , only living Goddess in the world worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists in Nepal.

dashain-9 dashain-14

 Lakhe is a demon in Nepalese folklore with a ferocious face with protruding fangs and mane of red or black hair.

dashain-3 dashain-11

They had an energised Lakhe dancing to traditional music.

If you are in Kathmandu during Dashain, the sky will be full of kites of different colours and we got to see some of that on the day as well.

Little girls performing in traditional music was amazing and so was the fashion show and concert.

There were many stalls for Tradtional handicrafts and Food stalls. Of course we enjoyed our evergreen momo.

Chhori had a great time as well running around, playing on the swing in the park and enjoying the food.

dashain-12 dashain-6

She was spoiled by all of our friends and relatives as usual.

I am really glad these types of events happen in Sydney. As you all know I love my traditions and culture and I want Chhori to see, learn and know our culture too. These kind of organised events definitely will help me educate Chhori and hopefully develop her interest in Nepali traditions and culture in future.

Wishing you all a very Happy Dashain!!!

Here are the posts I have written regarding Dashian over the years .
