Habibi came this morning and cut down the tops of 3 of our Tulip trees. Must be 15 feet off each of them. So strange to suddenly get a big view down the valley back. The trees look a bit brutal now but they will be softened again by next spring. We have to do it or they get too big.
Last night we had a bbq by the pool just the two of us. Tonight we had a fabulous dinner at our friends, Deborah and David’s house in Alsancak. Pamela and Eddie were there too. We each took a course. Pamela made a really great chicken liver pate with pickles. Deborah did the main which was a delicious Moroccan lamb stew (or chicken alternative) with a peach, mint and onion salad and roasted potatoes. The lamb was absolutely delicious and the salad was very surprising, must try that myself. I did dessert, which was raspberry red slut jelly. A Nigella dish of course with a name like that… We had a super evening. It’s so nice now to have friends out here, some permanent, some frequent visitors like ourselves.
Weather still hot here. 31C during the day. The pool is 28C.
