Martyrs Square today. A work in progress.
Another tough day laying around the pool but it is an even tougher gig for local politians trying to make a difference.
From the 1980s, one President, one President elect, one Prime Minister, one former Prime Minister and four Members of Parliament have been assisinated. Would our MPs stay in their jobs if we had these awful statistics?
I am getting my Francophone hit tonight and going to a Luis Buneul film festival to see "Belle de Jour". Not that I really need it as I seem to speak more French and English here than my little Arabic. The Arabic I do know is at least helpful to read signs.
