Followers?!

 It puts the pressure on having "followers".  Well here is Mohamed and his uncle Hamid (or Ahmed - I am never very sure).  This is his mother's brother so in arabic he is Khali rather than Ammni.  ps Posting pictures seems to be easier than in Yahoo.

We have had some more rain - Yipee!.  The day before yesterday was Mohamed the Prophet's birthday - Mohamedmass - so holiday from school, work etc.  There was a sort of market down by Bab LeKhmis selling the usual range of grot but this time with some interestingly coloured nutty nougaty toffee type sweeties.  It looked like it had been made in large washing up bowls and turned out once it had set.  Lots of stands selling it - in huge chunks.  I tried a bit but it just seemed to taste like sugar.  Unfortunately I had forgotten my camera so no piccies.  Well there is always next year. 

Anyway I had better get back to work

  3. Don't remind me of nougat. I knew that it was probably a bad idea to buy it from a market stand in Sardinia last October-. However I was tempted and I promised myself that I would only suck it. When I got home I had a piece which promptly removed my crown/filling resulting in £795 dental work. thank goodness I had taken out some insurance and managed to claim just over £600 back!
