We are still living in Marrakech on our olive grove and building our dream house. And we still have peacocks roaming in our garden. I thought you might like to see a picture of one here http://moroccanmaryam.typepad.com/my_marrakesh/2008/02/marakech-and-lo.html This peacock's name is Karim and he aware that he is so handsome and is VERY vain. All the peahens are in love with him and it's going straight to his head. It's a very nice time to be in Marrakech now. I was on the city's main square yesterday and all the snake charmers were out. They really do play music from flutes and the cobras dance as if in a trance. Also on the main square, there are women in veils who will paint intricate patterns on your hands in henna or who will tell you your fortune or recommend spells. I brought my cousin to one of them and she suggested that putting a bag of white rice under her pillow and keeping 2 white chickens in her room for a week or so would be a good solution to her problem. Anyway, i just wanted to wish you a big hello from Morocco and tell you that you continue to be a big inspiration to a lot of people, Olive! Dear Olive and Mike,

I'm sure she will. Wooooow, Mike: that cake looks so delicious, tasty and tempting! I am sitting here in front of the screen and I'm almost drooling over the thought of having a small bite!

Many more to come. <em>Monica, they are not cakes, they are a meat pastry. it you go back to very early post about pies, you'll see inside. Mike the helper </em> I hope Ollie gets well soon.

Thanks to Ollie for the smiles and Mike for catching them for us. Hope the hospital is taking good care of you and that your stay won't be long. And Mike, if you need someone to sell Aussie pies in Toronto, I'd be happy help out, we love 'real' (fast) food down here too, not just in Montreal. :-) Trouble is, at the moment they'd freeze instantly, it's mighty cold here right now. <em>Susanne, they would do so well in TO.
