What's wrong with the world? in It's a Suhaila!

The world is scary right now. In the last few weeks we’ve had the lorry in Nice, the axe on a train in Germany, the Munich shopping centre shooting, the church hostage situation in Paris, more attacks in Kabul and Baghdad....

The thing that sares me most is reprisal/vigilante attacks. I know here in Britain we’ve escaped the worst so far (and please may that continue) but it’s still a scary thought. Now that I have Jasmine I look at her little face as she looks up at me and sometimes wonder what kind of world I have brought her into.

My dad says that things seem to be escalating because this Islamic State group are getting hit and hit hard and losing ground, and they are striking any way they can however they can.

I’m still worried for my own safety because you hear about white extremist groups, and being Indian descent, I worry I may be a target. I worry more for Jasmine. Because of this, I am going to re-start my judo again. I just want to have some way of at least trying to protect myself, now that I am not pregnant anymore I can do judo without risk to Jasmine. It’s for her as much as me. I did manage to get my green belt, so my initial aim will be to maintain that standard before trying to step up to a blue belt.

The heat last week didn’t help neither, it drained my energy and poor Jasmine couldn’t get comfortable so I was getting irritable and snappy. Thank my lucky stars for a sister who told me to go and take naps whil she kept an eye on Jasmine for me.

At least it’s a bit cooler now, although a bit muggy as i rained last night.
