Funnel Dog and Fat Cat ... and Breakfast with Dickens and Martha.some of the flowers that are coming up from the leaves sprouting from the bulbs.
Almost June
Some time since I last posted, but peeps on Facebook and Tumblr will have been kept up to date.
I had a lovely 10 day visit from Rosie. We didn't get up to too much,Mo had classes at 8 am a few days and we weren't up to getting up that early. Having said that we did have a very early start to go and do some bird watching in the Souss Massa National park. Despite the crappy directions on how to find the guide, we did see some lovely birds - flamingos, avocet, Great and Little Egret, Grey and Purple Herons, Mallard and Ruddy Shelduck, Moroccan Cormorant and the famous Northern Bald Ibis. The National Park lies along the coast between the rivers Souss (Agadir) and Massa and covers quite a range of habitat. We visited 3 sites along the Massa river.
Ruby and Rosie hit it off, poor Ruby was quite folorn when Rosie went (both of us were) but she is over it now. The other dogs are all well. It's nearly time for Queenie to go for her op - well actually it is overdue as she is 8 months old now but no sign of her coming in to season yet so I will wait for Mohamed's holidays.
Mo's exams start tomorrow then it is the summer break and back for his final year. He has snagged a temporary job - just one day at the moment facilitating for a group of American students visiting the Dar Sihmad in Sidi Ifni. Hopefully something more will come of it... though not sure about travelling all the way to Sidi Ifni for work.
... and this all my news really. Hope to get going on making my office habitable next month and also looking forward to seeing Helen and Charley.

my doesn't time fly
I can't believe that it was October that I last updated this blog. I have been posting news and pictures on Facebook so I guess most readers will be as up to date with my life as I am.
My dad came and went and we have had Caroline and Ian and then Kate and Douglas visiting as well along with a variety of Mohamed's family. When Kate and Douglas arrived we had managed to get the floor done in the guest room and by the time they left there were also doors.... but there is still some finishing off to do. AT the moment we are concentrating on getting the rest of upstairs wired.
We managed to get Trot and Snitch along to the vet and they have both been neutered - though Trot still seems to be very interesting to the male dogs in the district, I hope that it will not come to anything. We have kept Trot's two puppies - they have been adopted by my friend Caroline (Queenie) and my Dad (Prince) and are now 5 months old and doing very well. I will have to think about taking them along to the vet soon as well. Snitch's last litter of puppies have all been sent away apart from one. Despite telling myself not to, I did get very fond of them and they all came out for walks with me - except the one that is being kept by the neighbours - so it was with a very heavy heart that I let them go. I know that I couldn't keep them all and they were a bit of a large pack of dogs and caused some disturbance to the local herds of goats and donkeys. I hope they are lucky where they are. I know that Trot and Snitch and Prince and Queenie will do better now that they have gone - less mouths for the food to spread around.
