The heat makes me melt and my will to blog with it...I meant to post these pictures last wednesday and the lazy Andalusian half in me whispers ...oh surely you can leave it till tomorrow...Mañana is the magic Spanish word which has an answer to everything, especially in summer. However mañana, I wouldn't mind sitting on Gym's roof terrace, sipping a mint tea, chatting and flipping through magazines.
This is how Gym boils the water on a Moroccan earthenware dish placed over a gas fire.

Gym set up a Moroccan tent on the terrace, a few years ago and dismounts it every year during the rain period, then puts it back on every summer. It was nice to have the walls down that day as there was a pleasant breeze.
And we can see the nice views around of the neighboring tiles roofs and the valley.....
and with just the tent roof over our heads where Gym placed a Moroccan lamp.....
......quite a blissful moment, I tell you !
Have a wonderful week end !!ps : now about my own roof terrace...slowly but surely it gets organized...that is Monchéri..bless him..started to paint yesterday and finishes this week end..yes mañana as always

You must feel joyous being so close to the heavens. Am off to make mint tea, too. Enjoy the weekend;-)
Gotta love the bliss!

what a lovely relaxing place to be. I can well imagine the fragrant mint in my mind.
ahhh.. what a beautiful place to sit and relax! I can't wait to see your finished roof terrace. Happy Friday Mon ami, HHL
So romantic and cosy.....how fun! I can smell the tea brewing....
I think the word, 'manana' was invented after the first rooftop cabana was built. I have the lantern and little Moroccan tea glasses and plenty of lovely trays, but I need the exotic teapot. And an orange tree. This reminds me...I used to have a wonderful fan that was woven with some kind of dried plant and you wet it before fanning yourself and it let off a beautiful fragrance. I think it was sandlewood...maybe patchouli. I need to find another. Ahhhh.

Time to relax! This is a great place for it.
Gym is magic! I would love to sit with you over a cup of mint tea...but not in the heat- in my imagination, thank you, yes please, I will have another...
Happy weekend Lala.....enjoy lots of that delicious mint tea, xv.
Hi Lala, have always loved the idea of sipping mint tea inside of a tent. And this tent is fabulous and so are you for posting this lovely setting. Are those tile fragments incorporated into the wall? Are they old?
Manana looks good to me! I would not get a thing done in that blissful setting, it looks so good, the colours, the scents, the flavours. I have missed you, I am now home at my desk for the summer, so will be in touch once again my friend!
Enjoy your manana's....
