Eid-al-Fitr......

Today marks the end of Ramadan. I know this as when I went out this morning to buy some spices to put in tonight's curry (after being bashed in the new mortar and pestle), the man in Akdenzi on Leith Walk told me. He said it was a sugar feast day, gave me this sweetie, then poured some cologne onto my hand.

I've opted not to eat the sweetie, as it was still in my hand when he poured on the cologne.

In other news, our carrots we were growing didn't. Tiny wee things. I managed to use five of them. The largest no bigger in length than the head of a teaspoon. The chillies, tomatoes, basil and peppers look happier. Which is good.

I also lay in a sunspot on the bed and read this afternoon.

I like days like this.
