Last night we decided on the spur of the moment to have dinner at Kanzaman, a Lebanese restaurant that's up the street — optimistically, we chose the banquet for two... It was fantastic food, the same as the last time we were there, and there was even a visit from a local belly dancer to entertain the diners.

After sitting around lazily all morning trying not to get too hot — while the temperature climbed towards the predicted maximum of 36°C — we headed over to visit friends for an afternoon barbecue. A brief interlude of paranoia while Marko and Lesley thought that nobody was going to show up, followed by several hours of good company as we all lazed around in the garden, only getting up to move as the patches of shade moved.
