Bestie, I'm gonna need Logan to invite Alex and Lily over to Florida for a big Sargeant family Thanksgiving 🙊
Thanksgiving in the 305 || LS2 {3}
Pairing: Logan Sergeant x fem!reader Summary: You have lots to be thankful this holiday and get to share the special occasion with even more people this year. Warnings: 18+ only, implied smut, fluff, lots of fluff WC: 3.4K F1 Masterlist || One || Two || Three || Four
Tumblr media
Monday, 20th November 2023 You had just walked through hell and it had been an absolute nightmare. By hell, you meant Walmart during the week of Thanksgiving. With another point scored on home soil Logan’s popularity seemed to explode overnight and the shopping trip had taken longer than expected after he signed some autographs and took photos with fans. Shopping wasn’t something you enjoyed on the quietest of days but knowing the amount of food prep you needed to do only left you more stressed.
“Relax, honey,” Logan soothed as he rubbed your shoulders with a smile. “We can do this. Just tell me what you need me to do.”
You eventually made it to the checkout with two laden trolleys and Logan did all the heavy lifting of the bags into the back of his Range Rover. Unfortunately you lost more precious prep time to the traffic that swarmed the city and the stress had you wringing your hands together until Logan took one in his.
Tumblr media
“Sweetheart, I think you might be going a little overboard.”
You looked up from the pastry you were rolling out to weave into a lattice topping for the pumpkin pie. “What? No. No, I’m not. This is perfectly acceptable.”
“There’s twice as much as last year,” Logan stated, his lips a shade of deep purple from the berries he had stolen.
“We have more guests this year - special guests too.”
Logan’s lips perked up as he laughed. “I’ll let Dalton know you think he’s not special.”
“That is not what I meant,” you gasped, only forgiving him for the joke when kissed you sweetly. “I’ve never seen your principal outside of the races, or Alex and Lily. I’m nervous.”
“You have nothing to be nervous about. They are exactly the same outside of work.”
You chewed your lip as you nodded, hoping he wasn’t just trying to ease your worry. If he was right then you knew you would get along with them just like you had when you went to the races with Logan. You had been lucky enough to make it to most of his races after the summer break and Sooty even joined for the Triple Header rounds, but he missed out on the Vegas trip. The schedule was just too busy to have a dog in tow.
Since everyone was on the same continent, for the moment, you had invited Logan’s team mate and his team principal to join you for an early Thanksgiving. James was bringing his wife and daughter while Alex was coming with his girlfriend Lily. They had all been so supportive of Logan throughout the year that you wanted to show your appreciation before making your way to the final race in Abu Dhabi.
It was going to be the first year since being with Logan that you wouldn’t be at home on Thanksgiving but that didn’t mean you weren’t going to slack on hosting the event. If anything you were going to make it more special to make up for having it on a Tuesday. 
Logan knew one thing that would help you relax while you were busy in the kitchen and after disappearing into the living room you heard the stereo system click on and Logan’s playlist filled the room. The upbeat intro to Hold On, We’re Going Home started and Logan reached you before Drake’s voice could, his hands finding your hips as he rested his chin on your shoulder and watched you work the dough. 
All too soon he grew bored of just watching and his lips started to tease kisses along your neck. “You need to go for a run,” you murmured as you found your progress slowing. “I can’t concentrate with you doing that.”
“Doing what?” he asked innocently, the curve of his lips on your skin giving him away. 
“Distracting me.”
“But it worked, look how relaxed you are now.” His arms curled around your waist as he swayed to the music and you joined him until his hand dipped beneath your shirt and warmed the soft skin on your stomach. 
“Lo…” you groaned as you pushed him back with your hips. “Behave, please.” 
“Cause you’re a good girl and you know it,” he teased in your ear with the song. “You act so different around me.”
You turned in his arms with a smile that he reflected and placed your palm over his chest. “You are going to ruin Thanksgiving dinner.”
Logan looked around the kitchen, every surface full of the food you just had to make final touches on in the morning. There was already more than enough to feed an army. “I don’t think you have to worry about dinner.” He reached behind you and placed a spare cover over the unfinished pie before pulling you flush against him. “And the pie can wait an hour.”
“An hour? I was thinking 10 minutes max,” you giggled as he grabbed your hips and picked you up, your legs wrapping around his waist naturally.
“Is that a challenge?” he dared as he carried you out of the kitchen. “I don’t mind spending the rest of the day proving you wrong, sweetheart.”
“Yes, wait, no, any other time, baby, but not today.”
Tuesday, 21st November 2023 - Thanksgiving Dinner You had never been happier that Logan had insisted on buying a house much larger than anything the two of you needed. Built for a large family, the kitchen had two full sized ovens and both were currently in use. The giant turkey filled one oven on its own and the other had its racks full of different dishes to keep them hot. 
The other great thing about the home was that the stacker doors folded back in the living room to give a massive open space that flowed out into the patio and pool. You needed all that space with the guests that had arrived. Logan’s parents had come first. Mallika had insisted on arriving early so she could help you with the fresh food that couldn’t be pre-cooked and Michael had been ordered to help Logan stock the bar.
Next to arrive had been Dalton, Logan’s older brother, who came with a very happy Sooty after dog-sitting him while you were in Las Vegas. You had rushed out of the kitchen as soon as you heard his excited bark and grappled him into a tight cuddle before Logan wrapped his arms around you both. 
“Hi, my baby,” you cooed as you scratched Sooty’s fur and kissed the top of his head. “Mommy missed you. You’re looking skinny, did uncle Dalt not feed you?” You rose to your feet at the laugh and greeted Dalton with a kiss to his cheek. “Thank you for taking care of him.”
“I would say anytime but he stole an Angus steak from my plate, twice.”
“Why do you think I came out here?” you said with a shake of your head. “There is no way I am letting him anywhere near the kitchen. Lo?”
“On it, honey,” he chuckled. “Come on, Soot, let's go play frisbee. You in, bro?”
You watched the brothers jog out to the lawn and separate to opposite ends and it wasn’t long before Michael joined his sons too.
It was another two Sargeant boys that came through the door with Logan’s aunt following with apologies for her son's lack of manners for skipping the doorbell. You waved the apology away as you gave her a hug. “It’s fine, Debbie. My mother always said doorbells are for salesmen and strangers, not family.”
“Your mother is a good woman,” Harry said as he came in with a large bouquet of flowers for you and a kiss. “You are more and more like her every day.”
You grinned at the compliment and inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers. “Thank you.”
When you first met Harry you had felt intimidated by the billionaire but you had quickly realised he was a kind, down-to-earth man who put family values first. It was one of the reasons he sponsored Logan and helped get him into Formula racing. He believed if he had the resources to help, then he had the responsibility to help. It was the same with Dalton’s NASCAR career.
The next arrival did use the doorbell and Sooty came inside to growl at the uncommon sound until you told him to stop being silly. Once the door was opened he recognised it was Alex and Lily on the doorstep and the protective nature changed to the playful wag of his tail. Sooty enjoyed the attention he got from the animal-loving couple for a moment before another duo stole his attention and he leapt off the porch to race down the driveway. 
“Sorry, he saw my parents,” you said as you invited them inside and to the bar. “Now, Logan’s the mixologist in the house so if you want something more than a beer, a wine or whiskey neat then he’s your man.”
Once Lily had a glass of riesling and Alex an IPA beer, you made the introductions to the few members of his family they hadn’t met. Most of them had crossed paths at least once during the three US based Grand Prix’s this season so it was only Harry’s teenage boys and your parents who needed naming. 
“I found some wanderers in your driveway,” your mother joked as she stepped into your line of vision and waved at the quickly growing Vowles family. “Oscar looks different, more mature.”
You looked at Logan’s old teammate who was just walking through the door and chuckled when he took his shoes off, the only one that ever did when he went inside other people's homes. “That’s what a year will do to a man,” you replied. “I don’t think you’ve seen him since last Thanksgiving, mom.”
“Not true, I saw him at Logan’s birthday.”
“Oh, okay, my bad, it's only been 11 months then,” you said with a laugh as you went to greet him and Logan’s team principal. 
“She is absolutely adorable,” you gushed over the newborn in James’ arms. “I swear she’s grown and I only saw her a few days ago!”
“She’s put on another ounce since then,” the proud father said before holding her out to you. “Go on, I know this is what you’re really after.”
“I was just coming over to see if you needed a drink,” you lied as you reached for her, “but I’m not going to turn down baby snuggles.”
Logan’s eyes found you from across the room where he was talking with Alex and Oscar and he lost track of the conversation at the sight of you. The image of you holding a baby so comfortably made something crack in his chest and he knew you would be a natural when it came to motherhood, he just had to be patient for a few more years. You didn’t even notice his lingering stare as you pressed your nose to her soft hair and inhaled the new baby scent before cradling her closer. 
“You know you are not getting her back until you leave,” you warned James, and he just smiled knowingly.
“I had a feeling that would be the case. Now Rachel and I can enjoy a few hours of free babysitting.”
“Absolutely anytime, any place. Go on, have a drink and chill out, or even a nap if you need. There’s plenty of guest rooms down the hall and a nursery too so you have nothing to worry about.”
“A nursery? Is there something Logan hasn’t told me?” he asked curiously.
You laughed as you shook your head. “Not yet, James. The house was furnished for a family sale when we bought it and one of the rooms was set up to be a nursery. We just never renovated it.”
“You two look really happy,” Alex broke through Logan’s wandering thoughts and he blinked twice before he snapped out of the moment.
“We are. She loves this, having a full house, lots of noise and company.” Logan smiled into his bottle as he tipped the cold beer back and watched as you flitted around the room topping up drinks and chatting with his family all the while managing to cradle his boss's baby safely. “Best thing I did was ask her to come with me. Makes the good days better and the bad ones easier, you know?”
Alex nodded sincerely and cast his eyes to Lily who was laughing at something Dalton said to her about his latest round of golf. Alex knew exactly what Logan meant. 
Logan had always been open about wanting children, even more so when he was drunk, and he was always making plans for the future. He hoped to stay in F1 for as long as possible and he was especially happy that he had signed with Williams for another year, but after that he thought about moving into endurance racing as it was a less intensive schedule. With less commitments to work he would have more time to focus on starting a family, so you waited patiently and supported him in his choices after all the hard work you had seen him put in.
You continued on your way around the guests, oblivious to the way Logan’s eyes followed you the entire time. Eventually you  reluctantly passed the sleeping babe over to your boyfriend knowing he would want to have some time with her too and the next part you needed two hands for. “Dinner is almost ready, if you want to start rounding everyone up into the dining room I’ll bring in the turkey.”
“I can come and help, sweetheart,” he offered but his face softened at the cutie in his arms. Your chest warmed at the sight and you shook your head, not wanting to disturb the moment.
“Between my mom and yours, there’s hardly anything left to do.” You left him with Alex and Oscar, passing by Lily and Dalton’s discussion about the best US golf courses, and found Sooty so he could be put in his kennel. You weren’t keen on having a repeat of his first Christmas when he broke the table leg trying to get scraps and the whole thing had crashed down. It had been a disaster that took a while before you could see the funny side but it still didn’t mean you could handle it happening again. “Come on, as soon as dinner is over you can have your freedom back.”
Sooty whined as you left him behind and you didn’t dare look back or you wouldn’t have the heart to leave him there. The sound followed you until you were inside and the noise of the guests swallowed his lonely cries so you could focus on the meal shared between friends and family.
Tumblr media
Logan knelt beside the kennel and caught Sooty’s collar as he unhooked the chain and praised him for being a good boy. Dinner had been another one to remember for a long time to come and everyone was more than full as they settled around the extra large sofa inside. Traditionally, after dinner everyone would be feeling the liquor and reminisce on what they were thankful for before watching the Miami Dolphins game on the tv but since it was only a Tuesday there weren't any big teams playing. 
Logan had a better way to end the perfect afternoon anyway.
“Sooty, where’s mommy?” Logan asked as he buckled his collar back in place and kissed the top of his head. “Go find mommy, go on, good boy.” 
The quick moving ball of fur caught your attention and you just saved your glass of wine from being knocked off the coffee table before Sooty bounded over Lily’s shoes and landed at your feet. He barked twice and sat back on his heels, waiting as if he had been ordered to obey and was expecting a treat - except you hadn’t called him.
“Sooty, how did you escape your…” your words trailed off as you held his collar and watched the light catch on a diamond ring. The room fell silent as you looked up in time to see Logan lower himself onto one knee in front of you.
His deft fingers unbuckled the collar and slipped the ring off so he could hold it delicately in his hand. “I don’t need Thanksgiving to reflect on everything I’m grateful for this year,” he said softly and your heart beat so loudly you were certain everyone in the quiet room could hear it. “Since I found you, I’m thankful every damn day, and I would love to spend the rest of my life showing you just how much, if you’ll let me. Will you marry me?”
You couldn’t remember when you last took a breath and your throat seemed to clog with emotion, choking the word you wanted to scream. Logan’s lips began to curve up into a proud smile when you nodded your head and lifted your trembling hand for him. 
“Yes,” you finally managed to whisper, before the cold band slipped onto your ring finger and your vision blurred with unshed tears of joy. 
You didn’t hear the cheer that erupted, you didn’t hear their congratulations. All you heard was Logan whispering he loved you against your lips before he claimed them for the first time as your fiance.
Tumblr media
Logan hadn’t let go of your hand since he put the engagement ring on it but eventually he couldn’t keep you all to himself and draped an arm across the back of your seat instead.
“This is gorgeous!” Lily gasped after she leaned forward to inspect the large rock on the ring. You didn’t miss the pointed look she sent Alex and wondered how long it would be until he took the same step. “So how did you two meet if Logan was in Europe racing?”
Logan grinned as he traced his fingertips across your shoulder and over your collar. “Her mom was my uncle’s secretary and when I was home for the break I dropped by his office to visit him, and then I kept dropping in because I knew she was always in the staffroom doing her homework. Not that she ever looked my way.”
“I looked, when you weren’t,” you admitted as your cheeks heated. “But I had to keep my head down so I could actually concentrate on my assignments. He was very distracting to look at, still is.”
Oscar smiled to himself since he already knew the story well over the years of friendship and double dates.
Alex chuckled and mirrored your cosy state with Lily opposite you. “So did he finally ask you out or did you have to take charge?”
“Actually Harry set us up,” you said with a smile in the oil magnate’s direction where he was talking to his wife. “I didn’t have a licence and when my mom got sick Harry had Lo take me to visit her. He went out of his way to pick me up after school every day for like two months. I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through that time without him.”
You turned your smile to Logan as he reached for his beer and took a long drink. If you were alone he would have whispered sweet affirmations in your ear about how strong you were and how he would always be there for you but with the present company and his ears turning pink he swallowed his words. But you still saw them in his proud smile and in his blue eyes.
Tumblr media
“Okay, maybe I went a teensy, tiny, little bit overboard,” you admitted as you saw the leftovers filling the kitchen island after everyone had gone - the house was quiet once more.
You knew there was the temptation for Logan to say ‘I told you so’ but he just kissed your temple with a smile before he checked his watch and said. “I’ll get the containers.”
Although it was too late to go to Miami-Dade shelters tonight, it had become a tradition to take the leftovers around to them after a holiday. It would only go to waste with the two of you, especially since you were heading to Abu Dhabi in the morning.
“Have I told you how much I love you?” you asked when he returned from the garage with his arms full of takeaway containers.
“Once or twice,” he teased as he abandoned the containers to pull you into his arms, “but I’ll never get tired of hearing it.”
“Good thing we’ve got the rest of our lives then.” You placed your hands on his shoulders and looked at the ring on your finger with fondness before staring into his ocean eyes. “I love you, Lo.”
“I love you too, sweetheart. Always have, always will.”

Where Falconry is a Storied Sport, These Women are Writing a New Chapter
In the United Arab Emirates, One Photographer Sets Out to Document Unseen Figures in this Beloved National Tradition.
— Photographs By Vidhyaa Chandramohan | By Manar Al Hinai and Sharifa Al Hinai | March 1, 2023
Tumblr media
Guardians of an ancient desert heritage, falconers pose with their birds in Abu Dhabi’s Al Wathba area. For women and girls in the United Arab Emirates, learning the national sport is increasingly becoming a rite of passage.
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — The irising sun spreads pale light over the desert sands, illuminating a scene at once common and unexpected: a solitary falcon, hooded and still atop its perch, ready for hunting practice.
While people in what is now the United Arab Emirates have trained falcons for more than 4,000 years, more surprising is the falconer—a woman, with a young daughter working beside her.
Historically used as hunting companions, falcons captured meat that couldn’t be killed with an arrow or trapped in a snare to augment the low-protein diet of the nomadic Bedouins on the Arabian Peninsula. Falcons are keen-eyed—they see eight times farther than a human—and capable of plummeting from the sky at over 200 miles an hour to catch small prey such as desert hares and houbara bustards.
Tumblr media

Though no longer necessary as food suppliers, the raptors remain beloved by the people who own and train them, holding a revered perch in the country’s cultural heritage. Amid the fierce winds of globalization, falconry—which includes both racing and hunting exhibitions—has allowed practitioners to reconnect with their desert roots.
Another enduring fact: The prestigious national sport has been primarily associated with men, at least in the public eye. Yet photojournalist Vidhyaa Chandramohan knew women were there.
For centuries women have tamed and hunted with falcons in places ranging from Mongolia and Kazakhstan to the United States and the United Kingdom. And Emirati women are no less devoted, says Chandramohan, who has lived in the country for 16 years.
Tumblr media
Top: The photographer sought out women falconers, who she describes as being "absent from the photographic records.” She focused on Ayesha al Mansoori (left), here teaching Mariam Al Hammadi and Iman Al Hammadi. Women falconers regularly come together in the evenings, developing friendships and sharing knowledge in the process. Carrying the bird so that it remains comfortable and calm is a basic skill in falconry.
Bottom Left: A member of Dubai's ruling family, Sheikha Mozah bint Marwan bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al Maktoum practices falconry. "I am trying to be disciplined and do it every weekend," she says. "But a true commitment to it is doing it every day, if not twice a day, as it’s important to establish a bond with the falcon.”
Bottom Right: Osha, 8, learns falconry from her mother, Ayesha al Mansoori, who has trained nearly 150 women and 70 girls. The first stage is learning how to care for the falcons, which takes about a year, followed by training the birds using lures. Osha uses a live pigeon lure here.
Tumblr media
Top: Al Mansoori and her aunt drive with her falcon to a training session. Historically the birds were utilized for food gathering; today they're maintained as pets and regarded as family members. Bottom: The saluki breed is integral to falconry. The dog tracks and recovers prey struck down by the falcons. Al Mansouri is seen here with her friend's dog.
Revealing the Role of Women
Chandramohan began to search for female falconers to document their part in the tradition. She scoured social media for pictures and stories. When she came upon Ayesha al Mansouri, she knew she’d found a treasure.
Tumblr media
Top Left: Al Mansouri owns seven falcons and spends most of each day with them. At home, she constructed a ventilated space with desert sands and access to water.
Top Right: Osha displays her falcon's passport. The United Arab Emirates created the passport system in the hopes of decreasing illegal falcon trafficking and regulating the sport. Bottom: During hunting and racing season, falconers often go out twice a day, at dawn and dusk, to train their birds. Women unwind after a session while falcons rest on perches.
Al Mansouri began to study falconry with her father when she was four. After her brother failed to wrestle a hood on a falcon and gave up, Al Mansouri tried—and eventually got it.
“’I just covered it,’ she recalls saying to her father. “He was stunned, and shot me glances showing he was proud and impressed.” The moment marked her entry into the world of falcons.
But in 2018, when Chandramohan approached the thirty-something falconer with a proposal to document her career, she was reluctant. Just as falconers must first earn a bird’s trust, Chandramohan realized she too needed to patiently gain Al Mansouri’s trust in order to tell her story in pictures.
Tumblr media
Top: Al Mansouri during a training session with Osha. Falconry is traditionally handed down from father to son, but in Abu Dhabi more women and girls are entering the sport. “I often used to sit with my father, who would tell me stories about falconry," Al Mansouri says, "especially ones about the women who practiced the sport in the old days.”
Bottom Left: A vet files and shapes a falcon’s claws in an attempt to protect the bird’s owner from serious scratches.
Bottom Right: A falcon under anesthesia is checked by Margit Muller, a doctor and executive director of the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, a leading center for raptor medicine.
Eventually she did. And when photographs of Al Mansouri and her daughter, Osha, now 8 and following in her mother’s footsteps, were published in media outlets and displayed as part of a photography festival, the public took note. Changing the perception of the sport would require a role model—Al Mansouri.
After that, “many women came to me and said that their grandmothers and aunts were practicing falconry,” says Chandramohan. “But my documenting this practice by capturing women as subjects was something new and unfamiliar to them.”
Tumblr media
Top: Women have been engaged in falconry for centuries. In this circa 1780 painting, Indian ruler and warrior Chand Bibi hunts with hawks from her stallion. The British Library (ADD.OR.2894)
Bottom Left: A tile depicts a falconer and a musician from Iran's Qajar dynasty, circa 1850. The British Museum
Bottom Right: A circa 1750 Guler-style painting of a lady with a hawk, from India's Punjab region, is among the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection. HIP/Art Resource
Al Mansouri too says she was not the first woman from her family to break in. “My cousin, in her sixties, is an expert in falconry, and she learned her methods and secrets from two uncles,” she says. (One was Al Mansouri's father.) “She often took me with her on hunting trips.”
Woman on a Mission
But it wasn’t enough to be visible. Al Mansouri wanted to do more. Her mission became teaching falconry to girls, which she began in 2016 at the Abu Dhabi Falconers Club. When she offered classes, 50 women promptly signed up. So far, she's trained nearly 150 women and 70 girls.
Now “everyone wants to educate their daughters even before their sons in falconry,” she says, “and society has become more accepting of women’s participation in this ancient sport.”
Today women take part in competitions and festivals, including the International Festival of Falconry, which launched in 1976.
Tumblr media
Top: Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Marwan bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al Maktoum and her cousin Sheikh Ahmed Saeed Mohammed Hasher Al Maktoum, also an experienced falconer, train a falcon to chase prey tied to the plane.
Bottoms Left: Sheikha Mozah bint Marwan bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al Maktoum attaches a GPS transmitter to the tail feathers of her falcon before releasing it for training. A GPS tag helps locate a bird if it is lost.
Bottom Right: Al Mansouri drives out to the desert with her falcon.
The legacy that Al Mansouri is keen to preserve goes beyond ensuring that women have a place in the sport. Conservation is integral to her work and to other equally committed falconers.
The UAE has made strides at a time when several falcon species face threats from habitat loss and illegal wildlife trading. (Read more about falcon conservation in the UAE.)
Preserving a Legacy
UAE falconers now fly only captive-bred birds for racing and hunting demonstrations, and hunting live prey with falcons is prohibited except by special permit in certain areas.
In 2002, to further discourage the trafficking of illegally captured birds, the UAE began issuing falcon “passports” detailing their origins. Several countries, including Saudi Arabia, followed suit.
The UAE reinforced its pivotal role with the 1999 opening of the largest falcon hospital in the world, whose training programs draw students from more than 42 countries. “The UAE is a global model for falconry, not only in terms of veterinary medicine related to the care of the birds but also in terms of conservation and population maintenance through breeding,” says Margit Muller, executive director of the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital.
In offering tours to local schools, “our goal is for the youth first to learn and love the sport, so that they’ll pass their knowledge on,” says Muller, who has been in the city since 2001.
The time-honored tradition has become a profitable engine sustained by annual competitions and festivals, such as the President’s Cup Falcon Competitions in Abu Dhabi and the Fazza Championship for Falconry in Dubai.
'Your Falcon Is Your Brother'
As dedicated as Al Mansouri is to her mission, she never forgets a lesson she learned at her father’s side. “Your falcon is your brother,” she recalls. “He’s more than just a hunting bird; he is a being that should be appreciated.”
Tumblr media
Rawan Hareb al Hammadi offers hot tea to friends after a training session.
In the desert twilight, Al Mansouri lights a campfire and soon the rich aroma of Arabic coffee fills the air. She finishes her cup, walks to her waiting falcon and lifts off its hood. She raises her hand for the bird to take its place on her arm, and in a moment the falcon takes flight.
The falconer swings a lure in a wide arc around her—a rope with a bustard wing tied at the end. The falcon takes aim and swoops in. At the last second Al Mansouri jerks the lure away. After a couple more tries, she allows the falcon to capture the lure and then quickly replaces it with meat—usually a quail or pigeon breast.
Osha’s piercing eyes watch all her mother does—both her movements and her stillness—as she handles her obedient falcon. They don’t need words to teach and learn the fundamentals of their ancient craft.

Top 10 Signs You Have a Cockroach Infestation in Your Home
Cockroaches are among the most resilient and unwelcome pests that can invade your home. They carry diseases, trigger allergies, and can cause significant stress for homeowners. Early detection of a cockroach infestation is crucial to prevent it from worsening. Here are the top 10 signs that you may have a cockroach problem in your home pest control services abu dhabi.
Droppings: One of the most common signs of a cockroach infestation is the presence of droppings. These small, black or dark brown specks resemble ground coffee or black pepper. You'll often find them in cabinets, along baseboards, or in other dark, hidden areas.
Shed Skins: As cockroaches grow, they shed their skins multiple times. Finding these shed skins in your home, particularly near hiding spots like cracks, crevices, and behind appliances, is a clear indication of an infestation.
Egg Casings (Oothecae): Cockroaches lay their eggs in protective casings called oothecae. These are small, brown, and oval-shaped, often found in hidden areas such as behind furniture, under sinks, or inside cabinets.
Musty Odor: A large cockroach infestation often produces a strong, musty odor. This unpleasant smell is caused by the pheromones cockroaches release to communicate with one another and can be particularly noticeable in enclosed spaces.
Smear Marks: Cockroaches leave behind smear marks as they crawl over surfaces. These marks appear as dark streaks and are usually found along walls, floors, and other areas where cockroaches are active.
Nesting Areas: Cockroaches prefer warm, dark, and humid places to hide and breed. If you discover nests made from food particles, droppings, and other debris in hidden spots, it’s a sign of an infestation.
Live Cockroaches: Seeing live cockroaches, especially during the day, is a strong indicator of an infestation. Since cockroaches are nocturnal, spotting them in daylight suggests overcrowding and a significant problem.
Dead Cockroaches: Finding dead cockroaches around your home, particularly in basements, kitchens, or bathrooms, indicates that there are likely many more live ones hiding.
Damaged Food Packaging: Cockroaches will chew through packaging to get to food. If you notice small holes or damaged packaging in your pantry, it could be a sign of cockroaches.
Unusual Pet Behavior: Pets often detect pests before humans do. If your dog or cat is unusually focused on a particular area or corner, it could be because they sense cockroaches cockroach pest control abu dhabi.
If you notice one or more of these signs, it’s important to take immediate action. Cockroach infestations can escalate quickly, so contacting a pest control professional to assess and treat the problem is essential. By addressing the issue early, you can protect your home from the health risks and discomfort associated with these persistent pests.

31st May - 1st June 2024
Travelling to Rome.
Who knew I’d hate flying 200x more with a toddler in the mix. Just like lining up to check bags, go through security and all that was a nightmare! Roman was tired and feral and just bolting through all the barriers and off limit areas and just tantruming in my arms when ever I tried to stop him. Anxiety level 5000. At least he is cute?
We got to the airport a little early and went to the lounge to just chill and get some decent food, and let Roman have a squiggle and a sleep before our flight at 2:45. The lounge had a kids section and was Plato g paw patrol. And just the excitement in general meant Roman did not have a nap. But that was ok cos maybe it meant he would sleep on the plane.
We got on the plane and took off, Roman was entertained by some weird dog show on the plane entertainment system. SO MUCH TIRBULENCE! Literally gasped out loud numerous times. Broke Ashley’s hand squeezing it. And was certain we were going to die. Spoiler alert. We didn’t!
Roman got his own kids meal which he basically ate none of and ended up eating Ash and my pasta. So Ash and I went hungry. Roman started getting overtired and feral again. It was getting close to 10pm. Roman hadn’t slept in 15 hours. Finally he fell asleep but woke in hysterics 40mins later much to everyone around us’s dismay. So paw patrol went on and eventually he fell back asleep and maybe got 4 hours total. Meanwhile Ash and I watched half a movie. The iron claw. There was no second movie Nyssa. Cos I know you would ask. We watched like nothing, we ate nothing, we drank nothing, we didn’t sleep. Flying with a toddler is a very different experience 😵‍💫
We had a four hour stop over in Abu Dhabi, which was perfect time wise. Just enough time for Ash time grab a burger. Go for a walk and meet some camel statues, Roman loves Alice the camel so this was a win for a very tired 2 year old.
Second flight Roman fell asleep with minutes. Ash and I both managed to doze off. We woke what we assumed was 4 hours later. It had only been an hour. So over flying at the point and Roman was busting with energy, jumping and climbing and throwing things everywhere. Finally we landed, sped through immigration cos we had a bambino. Got a taxi to our hotel which is literally 7 mins from the colosseum. It was 8am and check in was at 2pm and we couldn’t get in earlier so we headed to the colosseum to look around. But before that we were told we could head up to our hotel roof for our complimentary breakfast! So we did! It’s the cutest little spot with a view of the colosseum. We got our first delicious coffee in forever, and a whole heap of pastries and fruit and juice. Fuel for us to head out for the day!
Roman was obsessed with the cobblestone paths. And of course this is when he decided to poo (after 3 days of none). So very stressful hour for him trying to do that and us finding places to change him and quickly running out of nappies.
We found a park and decided to just hang out there, we found a playground Roman loved, so much so that we had to bribe him to leave by saying we would find ice cream. We bought 2 ice creams to share. Roman ate both. When in Rome? Roman full of sugar was in a much better mood so we ventured around the park which was full of ruins. But Roman didn’t care. He remembered we had mentioned there would be cats so he was on the hunt. And guess what?! He found 3! He ran after them which gave Ash a heart attack cos rabies, didn’t help when Roman grabbed the cats tail as it tried to run away.
We were all exhausted when the hotel finally called to say our room was ready, I had to carry Rome all the way back. He was so tired. Finally making it into our room we all had a nap and woke 2 hours later.
Even though we were all tired we knew we should head out to keep us all awake so we headed to the Peroni brewery. Again had to carry Roman the whole way, I’m getting quite the workout. We grabbed a table and ordered our first pasta of the trip and got Roman some sausage and chips. Which he loved! It was a cute little Italian brewery/restaurant! We couldn’t stay too long cos Roman was tired and close to losing it, but we managed to get him to leave with the promise of ice cream. I promise we are better parents than this in Sydney. So off we went in search of gelato! Finding a little corner store we grabbed him a cone and sat of some stairs where he enjoyed his ice cream and pointing out all the pigeons, cos apparently we don’t have them in Sydney and they are therefore very exciting to find here. We carried him home and just chilled out. It was only an hour until we would try to get him to sleep. We have a family room with 2 giant beds and a cot set up for us. Roman fell asleep in the cot but woke 2 hours later and we brought him in bed. He slept from 7pm till 2am and we honestly thought that was going to be it for the night. But then after an hour he fell back asleep and slept through till 7:30am. Best birthday present ever for Ash who also managed to get 12 hours of sleep! So I guess the lack of sleep on our trip paid off and kind of helped with the jet lag!

How to Recognize High-Quality Dog Food: A Guide from Abu Dhabi Experts
Ensuring your dog gets the right nutrition is essential for their health, happiness, and longevity. But with so many options on the market, how to choose high-quality dog food can be a daunting task. To help dog owners in Abu Dhabi make informed decisions, we’ve compiled a guide on what to look for when selecting the best food for your furry friend. This guide covers the types of dog food available, key ingredients to look for, and expert tips on making the right choice.
Tumblr media
Understanding the Types of Dog Food
Before diving into what makes dog food high-quality, it’s important to understand the different types of dog food available. Each type has its unique benefits and may be more suitable for certain dogs based on their age, health, and lifestyle.
1. Dry Dog Food (Kibble)
Dry dog food, commonly known as kibble, is one of the most popular choices among dog owners due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and long shelf life. Kibble is typically made from ground ingredients like meat, grains, vegetables, and additives that are baked or extruded into small, crunchy pieces.
Benefits of Dry Dog Food:
Easy to store and serve
Helps in keeping a dog's teeth clean due to its crunchy texture
Available in various formulas for different life stages and dietary needs
2. Wet Dog Food (Canned)
Wet dog food, or canned dog food, contains a higher moisture content than dry food, which can be beneficial for dogs that do not drink enough water or have certain medical conditions.
Benefits of Wet Dog Food:
Higher moisture content helps in hydration
Generally more palatable for picky eaters
Often contains fewer preservatives than dry food
3. Raw Dog Food
Raw dog food is a growing trend among pet owners who believe it mimics a dog’s ancestral diet. This type of food typically includes raw meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables.
Benefits of Raw Dog Food:
May provide a shinier coat, healthier skin, and higher energy levels
Often includes whole, natural ingredients
Minimally processed, preserving more nutrients
4. Freeze-Dried and Dehydrated Dog Food
Freeze-dried and dehydrated dog foods are similar to raw diets but have undergone a drying process to remove moisture. These types of food are easy to store and often rehydrate with water before serving.
Benefits of Freeze-Dried and Dehydrated Dog Food:
Lightweight and easy to store
Retains nutrients due to minimal processing
Offers the benefits of raw food without the mess
5. Prescription and Specialty Dog Foods
These foods are specifically formulated for dogs with specific health conditions such as allergies, obesity, diabetes, or kidney issues. Prescription dog foods are typically available through veterinarians or specialty pet stores.
Benefits of Prescription Dog Foods:
Tailored to address specific health concerns
Often backed by scientific research and testing
Provides balanced nutrition tailored to a dog's unique needs
Key Ingredients to Look for in High-Quality Dog Food
When determining the quality of dog food, the ingredients list is one of the most important aspects to consider. Here’s what to look for:
1. High-Quality Protein Sources
Protein is a crucial component of a dog’s diet, providing essential amino acids needed for muscle growth, immune function, and overall health. Look for dog foods that list high-quality protein sources such as chicken, beef, lamb, fish, or eggs as the first ingredient.
2. Whole Grains or Grain Alternatives
Carbohydrates provide energy, but not all carbs are created equal. Whole grains like brown rice, oatmeal, and barley are nutritious and provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals. For dogs with grain sensitivities, consider grain alternatives like sweet potatoes, peas, or lentils.
3. Healthy Fats
Fats are a vital part of a dog’s diet, supporting brain function, healthy skin, and a shiny coat. Look for dog foods containing healthy fats such as fish oil, chicken fat, or flaxseed oil. Avoid foods with unspecified animal fats or oils as they can be lower in quality.
4. Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support a dog’s immune system and overall health. Ingredients like blueberries, carrots, spinach, and pumpkin are great additions to high-quality dog food.
5. Avoid Fillers and Artificial Additives
Fillers such as corn, soy, and wheat are often used in lower-quality dog foods to bulk up the product without providing much nutritional value. Additionally, avoid foods with artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors. These additives can lead to allergies, digestive issues, and other health problems.
How to Choose the Right Dog Food for Your Pet
Choosing the right dog food involves considering your pet's specific needs, lifestyle, and health. Here are some expert tips from Abu Dhabi to help you make the best decision:
1. Consider Your Dog’s Age, Size, and Breed
Different dogs have different nutritional requirements. Puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs each need different levels of nutrients. Additionally, small breeds and large breeds have different dietary needs. Always choose a dog food that is specifically formulated for your pet’s life stage and size.
2. Pay Attention to Your Dog’s Health Conditions
If your dog has any health conditions, such as allergies, obesity, or a sensitive stomach, you’ll need to select a dog food that caters to these needs. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet’s specific health concerns.
3. Look for Certifications and Quality Assurance
Reputable dog food brands will have certifications from organizations such as the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) or the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF). These certifications indicate that the food meets specific nutritional standards and quality assurance guidelines.
4. Check for Transparency from the Manufacturer
High-quality dog food brands are often transparent about their ingredients and sourcing practices. They provide detailed information about the origin of their ingredients and how their food is processed. Avoid brands that use vague terms or do not disclose their sourcing practices.
5. Monitor Your Dog’s Reaction to the Food
Once you’ve chosen a dog food, monitor your dog’s reaction to it. Look for signs of a healthy coat, consistent stool, good energy levels, and overall vitality. If your dog shows signs of digestive upset, skin problems, or allergies, consult your veterinarian and consider trying a different brand or formula.
Conclusion
Recognizing high-quality dog food is essential for your pet's health and well-being. By understanding the types of dog food available and knowing what ingredients to look for, you can make informed choices that benefit your furry friend. Remember, each dog is unique, and their dietary needs may change over time. Regular consultations with your veterinarian and careful observation of your dog's health and behavior will help ensure they receive the best nutrition possible. Whether you are buying dog food in Abu Dhabi or elsewhere, the key is to stay informed and prioritize quality over price or convenience.

Exploring Fusion Cuisine in the UAE Food Service Sector
In the vibrant tapestry of the United Arab Emirates' culinary scene, there exists a delightful phenomenon that tantalises taste buds and brings together the best of various culinary traditions. This phenomenon is none other than fusion cuisine. With its diverse population and a rich tapestry of global influences, the UAE has become a melting pot where flavours from around the world collide, resulting in innovative and exciting culinary creations. In this blog post, we delve into the world of fusion cuisine in the UAE's dynamic food service sector, exploring the trends, influences, and the market's response to this culinary fusion.
The UAE Food Service Market: A Hub of Diversity
The UAE's food service market is a thriving industry that caters to a multicultural population and a booming tourism sector. From the bustling streets of Dubai to the cultural hub of Abu Dhabi, restaurants and eateries offer a vast array of cuisines, from traditional Emirati dishes to international fare. This diverse market provides the perfect environment for fusion cuisine to flourish, as chefs are inspired by the eclectic mix of cultures and ingredients at their disposal.
Trends in Fusion Cuisine
Fusion cuisine is all about breaking culinary boundaries and blending diverse flavours, techniques, and ingredients. In the UAE, this trend has taken on a life of its own, with chefs drawing inspiration from global cuisines to create unique and innovative dishes. Here are some trends that have been making waves in the UAE's fusion food scene:
Arabic-Asian Fusion: One of the most prominent fusion trends in the UAE is the marriage of Arabic and Asian flavours. Chefs are combining the aromatic spices of Middle Eastern cuisine with the delicate balance of flavours found in Asian dishes. Dishes like Arabic-inspired sushi rolls, shawarma tacos, and falafel sliders with a hint of soy sauce are just a few examples of this fusion at work.
Health-Conscious Fusion: As the world becomes more health-conscious, so do the culinary creations in the UAE. Chefs are blending healthy ingredients and cooking techniques from different cuisines to create dishes that are both nutritious and delicious. Quinoa tabbouleh, avocado hummus, and sushi burritos with brown rice are popular choices for health-conscious diners looking for innovative options.
Gourmet Street Food Fusion: Street food from around the world has found its way onto the plates of upscale restaurants in the UAE, often with a gourmet twist. Think gourmet burgers with Korean BBQ sauce, lobster tacos with a Mediterranean flair, or gourmet hot dogs with Middle Eastern toppings. This blending of casual street food with high-end dining has created a unique dining experience for foodies in the UAE.
Dessert Fusion: The sweet side of fusion cuisine is equally exciting, with pastry chefs creating desserts that fuse traditional sweets with global flavours. Baklava cheesecake, saffron-infused macarons, and matcha kunafa are just a few examples of the creative desserts found in UAE restaurants.
Market Response and Consumer Demand
The UAE food service market has responded enthusiastically to the rise of fusion cuisine. Diners are increasingly seeking out unique dining experiences that offer more than just traditional dishes. The fusion of flavours provides an exciting and adventurous option for those looking to explore new tastes.
Restaurants that embrace fusion cuisine are not only meeting consumer demand for innovation but also attracting a diverse clientele. Tourists and locals alike are drawn to establishments that offer a fusion of flavours, as it represents the multicultural essence of the UAE.
Challenges and Opportunities
While fusion cuisine in the UAE is thriving, it does come with its set of challenges. Balancing flavours from different culinary traditions can be a delicate art, requiring skilled chefs with a deep understanding of ingredients and techniques. Additionally, sourcing authentic ingredients from around the world can be a logistical challenge.
However, these challenges also present opportunities for growth and creativity. Chefs are continuously experimenting with new combinations, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the kitchen. The UAE's food service market rewards innovation, and establishments that can successfully execute fusion cuisine often find themselves at the forefront of the culinary scene.
Conclusion
In conclusion, fusion cuisine has become a vibrant and integral part of the UAE's food service sector. It represents the intersection of cultures, flavours, and culinary traditions, offering a unique dining experience for residents and visitors alike. As the UAE continues to embrace its multicultural identity, fusion cuisine will undoubtedly remain a dynamic and exciting trend in the country's diverse culinary landscape.
Whether it's Arabic-Asian fusion, health-conscious creations, gourmet street food, or innovative desserts, fusion cuisine in the UAE is a celebration of culinary creativity. So, the next time you dine out in the Emirates, be sure to explore the world of fusion cuisine and embark on a culinary journey unlike any other.

Furniture Tips for a Pet-Friendly and Stylish Home
Tumblr media
Our pets are cherished members of the family, and creating a space that caters to both their needs and our desire for a stylish home can seem like a challenge. But fear not! With a few clever tips and the right furniture choices, you can achieve a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics, ensuring a comfortable and stylish haven for both you and your furry companion.
Choosing the Right Materials
Durability is key: Opt for furniture upholstered in fabrics that can withstand scratches, muddy paws, and enthusiastic tail wags. Leather and faux leather are generally easy to clean, while stain-resistant fabrics offer an extra layer of protection.
Consider microsuede: This material offers a luxurious feel while being surprisingly easy to maintain. Most messes can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth.
Think about woven textures: Tightly woven fabrics like canvas or tweed are less prone to snags and scratches from playful paws.
Furniture Selection with Function in Mind
Sofas with loose cushions: This allows for easy removal and cleaning, especially helpful for pet hair and occasional accidents. Consider slipcovers for added protection and a way to refresh your décor.
Elevated dog beds: These keep your pet off the furniture while providing a comfy spot to relax. Choose a bed with a washable cover for easy maintenance.
Sturdy end tables: Opt for end tables with a solid base to avoid accidental knock-overs by your playful pup.
Cat trees and scratching posts: Provide designated scratching areas to deter your feline friend from using your furniture. Choose a cat tree that complements your décor and offers various levels for climbing and perching.
Designing a Space for Everyone
Create designated pet zones: Establish specific areas for your pet's bed, food and water bowls, and toys. This helps keep their belongings organized and reduces clutter.
Area rugs: Place washable area rugs in high-traffic areas to protect your floors from muddy paws and scratches. Choose colors and patterns that complement your furniture and add a touch of personality.
Storage solutions: Invest in stylish storage ottomans or chests to keep pet toys and supplies out of sight but easily accessible.
Vertical space utilization: Utilize wall shelves or floating cabinets to display decorative items or store pet supplies without sacrificing floor space.
Adding Stylish Touches
Cozy throws: Layer washable throws over your furniture to add comfort and protect against pet hair. Opt for textures and colors that complement your décor.
Pet-themed accents: Incorporate subtle pet-themed accents like throw pillows with paw prints or artwork featuring animals.
Greenery: Plants not only add a touch of life to your space but can also help purify the air. Choose pet-friendly plants like spider plants or ferns.
