To my surprise and delight National Geographic Intelligent Traveller blog has published my contribution to their I Heart My City series. You just copy & paste their list of questions into an email and return it to them with your responses. Which I did. But it was still very exciting when I saw Marilyn Res’s tweet announcing it yesterday.
My fifteen minutes of fame. 🙂

These are rather pleasantly addictive (I wonder if I can do them on my iPhone?). National Geographic online jigsaw puzzles made from outstanding reader-submitted photos. Turn up the volume so you can hear that satisfying sound when your pieces “click” into place.

This is the rug I bought in Asilah last month – isn’t it pretty?
In fact, you can actually see it in this pic, on the left hand side near the table. It’s taken me this long to figure out what to do with it. Well, first of all I had to drape it outside over the balcony railing for about a week to air it out (not sure about washing it as I’m worried the colours might run) and then I tried it out in a couple of rooms. But rugs and plants don’t seem to do very well within reach of “the boys”, so I finally decided to hang it on the wall in the hallway between the livingroom and bedroom…
