Morning, Phil, Derek and all. The weather is a little warmer today - but still chilly when the sun goes behind the clouds. Hope the umbrella is not needed, though!

The nearest we got to a little cultural diversity was when we visited the Hwange National Park some years ago and went on a safari there. Freezing cold in the middle of the night as I recall!

I am hoping the forecast goes in your favour Mike. I have never been to Marrakesh, other parts in Morroco, yes. What's it like? Any photos? I heard it's the in place destination for celebs to be seen in.

Morning all,Old Mother Riley is it cold out there, Bitter my daughter asked to check her car as there are some warning lights on the dash,

battery terminal loose, water low, oil really low these Renault meganes must have the worst dipstick ever, they're plastic & contoured to fit down into the sump, they are yellow coloured & over time go dark brown.....the same colour as the oil you can barely tell what's what on the dipstick. the alternator bearing is screaming it's threepenny bits off & I ain't doing the job, you need a pair of monkey hands to get near the damn thing.

Weather sunny and quite warm at the moment, few clouds and a little breezy - so far, so good!
Marrakech is quite cosmopolitan now - a new town has now been built but the souks are still here but there is still much poverty amongst the locals. The way of the world, I guess.
I will post some photos when I get back to my laptop next week.

Mike

Good morning! How is everyone? I must say I am glad to have got an online incident report out of the way...

Hit and run yesterday.

Didn't see my bus, hit it then drove off!

I'm enclosing a picture of a similar bus. I want to check it is visible.



Maybe it's the Alexander Dennis Monogram Invisible Red; Code FWIT...
