The weather has turned hot again, though things are still pretty green. I have finally got the house to myself again following the most recent visit from m-i-l and it is lovely and quiet so I thought I would take 10 minutes to write something before I get stuck into some accounts.
Last week we went to Agadir where I got my crown fitted but I still have to go back in a couple weeks to have it checked over. That is a tooth crown - despite now having followers I have not been promoted to royalty.
While there we went to Inzegane to see if we could find a good cheap iron and I went to see the little old bone sorter man..... if you are a long term reader you will remember his miraculous cure of my sprained ankle. I bent my elbow the wrong way a few weeks back and it has been giving me gip so I thought I would see if he could help. It did feel much better after he had handled it, but it is sore again now. Mind you he did say I should put something cold on it when I got home and I was so tired by the time I got home that I forgot and then the next day I tackled my ironing mountain - probably not the best exercise for injured elbows.
Anyway as he was manipulating my elbow he told us about how as a young man he was recruited as an acrobat for a circus and spent 8 years in Australia. He comes from a berber mountain village famous for raising acrobats! Since coming back to Morocco he has featured in an advertisement for tea, and now he sits in a little alley in Inzegane and heals sore and sprained joints.
We are definitely in orange blossom season now, though I still think it looks strange to see the oranges on the trees while the air is full of the scent of blossom. The pomegranite tree in Ait Iazza has blossom as well now. I must go and see if Little Grey has started any fruit yet.
Hello Hazel,
ReplyDeleteI haven't quite got my head around this site yet however today I seem to have become a follower although I thought that I did that last week? i posted a note about my expensive crown after eating the nougat which I bought in Sardinia. I don't know if you ever received it or is it in cyberspace with various other emails that I have sent?
Today I am going to do my ironing and get packing for Poland. We leave here to go to Poland next Saturday.
I looked on the internet and warm clothes sem to be necessary.
Glad you are enjoying the sunshine. It was very nice weather here on Thursay and Friday.
Will tell you about Poland on my return.
Love,
Jan
correction... it was Austria not Australia where the mannie spent time being an acrobat in the circus.
