Nearly June

Sorry again for the long gap between posts.

Life goes on, time passes....

I am getting much more mobile and so far no back pain - a little stiffness and I am still not as fit as I was but I am getting there.  Trying to do exercises everyday in addition to walking the dogs.

The weather has been pretty good - we had some horribly hot days but it has settled down and this morning it was even rather cool.

I am a bit worried about Prince at the moment as he is very unstable on his legs... I thought and still hope that he had pulled a muscle that was making him lame and unbalancing and I am trying to get him to rest up a bit. This is made difficult as Snitch is having a false season and we have a load of dogs round the back door which Prince feels honour bound to bark at and chase and he hates it if I go out without him - and the other dogs hate it if I go out without them so walking him separately is hard work all round!

Mohamed is studying for his final exams and has also finished his TEFL course.   Once that is over we will find out if he will be accepted for teacher training this year and if not start to think about what will happen.

We are still trying to sell the land at Ait Iazza and still no luck though we did get a phone call last week from a simser asking about it so maybe we will hear something soon.  If we do get it sold we will, among other things, be able to get the title sorted on the land at Ouled Said and then get that sold which will free up a lot of capital for other projects... so fingers crossed we can get moving soon.

Next month I will have to reapply for my carte de sejour which will be interesting as I still haven't got round to renewing my passport - which I will also have to do... so it looks like a month of bureaucracy ahead.  Oh my :(

Well this made me laugh

DOG FOR SALE 




A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale 'He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.


The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

'You talk?' he asks.

'Yep,' the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?'

The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so... I told the CIA.

In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.'


'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running...

But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.

I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.'


'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

'Ten dollars,' the guy says.

'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

'Because he's a Bullshitter. He's never been out of the yard'
