Fri 29 Oct Friday. The weekend. It is before 9am. The others have not surfaced. It is our day off today. Think I will start a "keep Friday special" campaign. I nip out and buy sausages, eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, onions and bread rolls. I start preparing breakfast. Neil appears. I make a jug of coffee; Neil wakes Eleanor (who is not noted for getting up in the mornings). We eat. We enjoy. Wonderful. Later, I need a little retail therapy so set off to Souq Shabbi, shopping list in had and a fist full of dinars. I see a snow-dome containing some cute mice on skates; poised to kiss. A battery-powered windmill spectacularly blows the polystyrene snow into a blizzard. I manage to resist. I test drive a bicycle, buy a prayer mat and comically step on a disappearing man-hole cover, falling flat on my face and getting very wet and smelly in the process.
