' The Chosen One Has Been Sacked ! '

David Moyes, the 'Chosen One ' has been sacked; the final straw was the 2 - 0 defeat by Everton on Sunday. Ryan Giggs will be the caretaker/ interim-manager until the end of the season. Whoever the new manager is, he will still have a tough job!

Art Exhibition, Art Class and Pop Concert

This morning I went to an exhibition at the Mille Feuilles Bookshop gallery which was paying homage to Tunisian artist Mahmoud. There were 20 of the artist's paintings as a retrospective of his work.
The owner put on some French music as background music and there was brunch in the form of 4 trays of chocolate croissants and coffee/fruit juice. However,most of that food was probably wasted as there were only about thirty people who attended the exhibition.

Later o I went to the second lesson of an art class I started last week; there were only Ines, a young school student, and me. The teacher demonstrated some basic principles of the theory of doing
the perspective plus a portrait.

Last day of the Jazz Festival at the Thalasso Resort Hotel in Gammarth.
First on was Peter Von Poehl, a pop musician from Sweden and then Bastian Baker, rock/pop singer from Switzerland. There were lots of over-excited girls at the concert and they mostly there for Bastian Baker. I preferred the concert by Peter Von Poehl who was more melodic,varied and interesting in his songs.
