Here are some pics of my favorite House. The Kabah. I was feeling a little down today so decided to take a look at some pics of Makkah. A lovely place to be, Subhan'Allah. I hope to go one day, Insha'Allah.

if something is too good to be true...

Is it really?

In the end they stole the chain from it and in general twisted the tyres around. one of the pitfalls of living in east london. rent is dirt cheap though.
