We went into town today to pick up my cushion. I had at last finished the tapestry. It took me a whole year which is at least twice as long as it would have taken me 10 years ago but my eyesight gets worse and worse and | cannot sew for long. I got the upholsterer to make it into a cushion for my green chair and I think it goes well.
Town was busy, or at least the area around Bab Taghout and we couldn't understand it being a Monday but our friend in the Souk, who was not finding it busy at all, explained that there is a 2 day local moussem at the kaaba of a local marabout about 200m from Bab Taghout. Lots of villagers have come in to feast on camel meat and that may explain why the water was only a trickle even downstairs yesterday as apparently they have to shower after eating camel meat before they can pray.
We took the opportunity to do some last minute shopping to take home; coffee.preserved lemons, harissa, dried apricots and a woodenn ladle and spoons.
Well done you. Great work!!
