A leisurely day at home with Hanan, learning to cook lots of delicious food – a rather high ratio of good food to exercise! We make stuffed vine leaves and get to eat these for lunch, along with Hanan’s delicious stuffed courgettes. Dinner is takeaway chicken shawarma – very tasty, and different from anything we’ve had so far. Hanan explains to Khalid that Pat and I have to go home tomorrow and he asks why she bought us new pillows if we are not staying for good – he is is funny!
