Temperatures

Two nights ago, while we were emailing back and forth re our upcoming trip.....

Linda, in the mountains was under several heavy blankets on her computer.

I was wrapped in a blanket at my computer table.

Donna was sitting on top of her blanket on the bed emailing.

While I am having 1C at night, Linda is 0 or less and Donna has 12C.  

For sure it is easier to live in KW with a furnace than here, at night.  However, during the day it is a different story.  Which would I prefer?  Here, with an electric or propane heater for a few hours in the evening.

We are catching the bus at 12:30 pm tomorow for Taroudant.

Today the landlord, Houssaine, a carpenter, and a plumber were here.  The carpenter planed the door leading to the courtyard outside the kitchen.  It closes now!  The plumber attacked and thought he fixed the leaky water problem in the bathroom, but when I got home just now, there is much water on the floor.  C'est la vie!!!!  Houssaine acted as translator with the landlord when I said unless he gave me a rent reduction, I was leaving.  In true Berber fashion he took the offer I made him and offered a higher price. When I raised my voice and said that I was Canadian and not a Berber woman and that my price was final and not up for bargaining, he accepted.  I am happy because I really did not want to leave my house.  I am happy here, but did not feel he lived up to his end of the agreement and would have left.

I will be away for up to two weeks and it will be nice to come "home".

Hope for some good photos and info  from the Argon co-op, Tan Tan, and  our trip to the disputed area of Western Sahara.
