Oh the customs over seas is very different!
Feel free to pop over anytime I'll batter a Mars bar for you or perhaps madam would prefer a melted cheese snickers pancake! No I'm only joking! I will say my friend brought me back some American chocolates from her holidays as I'm an avid chocoholic and they are all peanut butter flavour what's that about? And them little silver foiled drop things are gross!

Right, my turn for a whinge, now it's quiet in here.
A bit down this am.as I had a bit of a spat with my neighbours yesterday over their dragging things over my lab roof and breaking the waterproofing that I put on, so i'll have to do it for a third time. And one of them borrowed some money and has been avoiding me like the plague ever since. And the tortoise they gave to their child has died, second one this year. They take no advice from me and can't see why children killing chicks, tortoises and kittens while playing games with them is wrong.
I partly am to blame because when people see how happy and healthy Tidgy is they often want to rush out and buy a tortoise for themselves, though I council against it.
Sorry to hear that Adam, blinking neighbours can be a royal pain in the butt!
It must be very frustrating to see torts poorly cared for, I always make sure I tell people who I know wouldn't go out of their way to care for a tort properly, how hard it is to look after Lola and the expense involved to try to put them off.
Hope you are feeling better today!

Anyway, during the lesson my internet ran out, as I knew it would, so at 7.30 when wifey's student arrived (half an hour late), I went out shopping.
First stop, the local shop to return 5 bottles. Closed. It's Sunday, but in Morocco shops open on a Sunday, it's Friday that's the holy day.
No problem, down to the road, at the bottom of the hill, that leads from the medina to the new town. Shop there closed also.
So right turn and on to the bus stop shop further along. Big shop, always open. Closed.
But the little shop next door was open! Returned the 5 bottles and bought some milk and 3 more bottles of fizz. Thirsty as it was 43°C today. The man told me how much but he'd not taken off the money for returning the bottles. So he took off a quarter of what he should and said i'd only bought 3 but returned 5 so he'd only return the value of three.(this is not how it works) Right give me my 2 other ones back. he did. But he'd still not taken enough off for the three. he was trying to cheat me, only out of 3Dh (27 pence) but it's the principal, you mustn't let them get away with it here. So, i took the empties back and went to another shop, properly into the souk to return the bottles and get my new drinks.
Even more frustration but very brave of you - some might say you needed a lot of bottle to deal with cheating like that!
