At an altitude of
4000ft and with clear skies, it get's a bit cool at night, but being
in a bowl, once the sun clears the surrounding mountains it warms up
quickly, although today turned out to be cloudy for most of it. Still
shorts and T-shirt weather though.
Local traders come
round, a bread-man at around 9.00 am, ladies with cakes and things,
touts for 4 wheel drive expeditions, the local garage owner in case
you need repairs and of course the artist. This guy will paint a
Moroccan scene of your choice on your van (we call it a van tattoo)
from a book of examples – including a photo of ours although he
didn't do it, cheeky b*****r! Two of our newbies decided to indulge
and thankfully they've turned out nice; we have seen some poor work.
A day that degenerated
into haphazard, after lunch Jamie decided to go walkabout again. We'd
tried him off the leash yesterday and as he had other dogs to play
with there was no problem. However today he was on his own and a
prolonged period of quiet revealed – no Jamie! He was soon spotted
however but thought it was fun running away as we got near.
Eventually we “borrowed” another Funsters more obedient dog to
entice him back, much to Brens relief! But I honestly don't think he
would have wandered far, as long as he could see or hear us.

As the day wore on so
folk congregated to enjoy a general chin-wag for an hour or two before
the sun went down behind the mountains and it turned cold. It gets
dark quickly here too, so we all retreated to our vans. Later the
guardians came round and strongly suggested we take in the various
bits of camping equipment left outside – seems that there has been
the odd item go missing overnight of late.
