Feria de Nimes



Yesterday was the start of the Feria de Nimes. The whole of the centre of town is taken over for partying. It's a good crack, if you like that sort of thing. Like last year, when we saw the Gypsy Kings, they have built a huge stage on one side of the Maison Carré. I wandered over to ask a roady the name of the band. He ran off a few names and expected me to be impressed. I stared at him blankly but out of politeness registered an acknowledgement. Such is growing old.

I noticed this morning that 'The Sun' and 'The Daily Mirror' websites are blocked from viewing in Sudan. So their government isn't all that bad then.
