Woken at 5.15 to sounds
of Jamie being sick. Cleaned up and gave him a drink and he settled
down again but it was repeated at 7.30. Although we're careful to
watch what he picks up when we're walking him, around the van it's
not so easy. However we're more inclined to think it's sun and heat
related; he will sit out in the sun as well as spend time under the
van where there's usually a cool breeze. He gets plenty of water and
doesn't seem to be off his food at all so we're not going to worry at
this stage.
Turned out to be
another scorcher although the weather forecast has changed quite
significantly, promising cloud, a higher risk of rain but more
importantly a significant drop in temperature, by 10 deg, which at
this altitude could well mean frost at night. So plans adapted to
move down to the coast tomorrow where, although we won't escape the
cloud and rain, at least it will be warmer.
So as it was so hot we
decided to clear the washing basket and after quite a few kettles of
boiling water it was all hanging up on the line – and was dry less
than an hour later. High temperatures and low humidity make for
excellent drying conditions. The wind became quite strong late
afternoon, as it has done for several days, but this time it looked a
bit serious so with the help of a couple of others we got the screens
and awning in, then helped the others do the same. Of course it died
down after about 45 mins, but one strong gust can do thousands of
pounds of damage so better safe than sorry.
As it was to be our
last night at Tafraoute we went out to dinner with Derek and June to
Restaurant Marrakesh, a delightful little place with super friendly
staff and quite the best meal we've had in Morocco. We all had
something different but everyone was very happy with their choice and
for around £5 per head for three courses it was good value too.
