Sunny and warm in spite of Saharan dust particles in the air. One form of air pollution that there’s not much way to fight. All natural. The bedroom is on the south side and scoops up the morning sun, making it a lovely place for coffee and a morning read. Can see that this may be less enchanting in the summer - and we spent most of the summer of 2020 in North Cyprus during the lockdown - but it’s perfect now.
Still adapting to gas cooking, but we’ve persuaded the burner to do a slow simmer. Spaghetti tonight with a sauce made from local aubergines and peppers. Pepper paste as easy to find as tomato paste and comes in hot or sweet, which is basically mild - the kind we buy as you can always add heat.
