Christmas Market

Visited the Christmas Market at the South Bank,earlier on the weather had been sunny but soon the sky turned grey and cloudy but at least it was fairly warm.
Later went to HMV to check out the latest CDs and DVDs,the store is now focusing a lot on on selling the latest tech gadjects like I-Pads and speaker systems.
Much of the music in the charts doesn't mean anything to me,even latest big star Florence and the Machine's new album doesn't make an impression ;it seems the singer is singing so loudly that any melody in the song is drowned out.

Got a message from Jes,she's still working so that means her holiday will be short like last year.

Ickbuel National Park

On Sunday visited Ickbuel National Park;a nice walk through along by the lake;very picturesque.
It's a pity that the peace and quiet was disturbed by a group of noisy young students;some of them had littered the pathway we'd had walked along earlier that day.click lonely planet tunisia for more information.

Hammamet EID 2011

While on the beach this morning I found a Rumanian film crew shooting an episode of 'Next Model'with four topless models,sprayed from head to toe in some gold-coloured like paint.
Plenty of camels about today,five of them having a rest before their tourist ride.
Called mum this afternoon;she's in London for a month.One of the doormen of the Italian restaurant 'Da Franco' thought I was a tourist guide.
