Routine, or not

So i have been back for 12 days.

I am really enjoying my bed. Its a pillow top and i missed it every night i was gone, i lie there at night and think, wow, this is great bed. My parents slept in it a few times when i was gone, their room got a new roof and a new wall and some new paint. Both of them are trying to bribe me to trade them beds. permanently. For-get-it.

The cats know i am back and crowd around the door with a lok that says HOLD ME!

Its great living back at home, i get to spend lots of time with ma and pa, but the social life suffers since its a bit far to drive into the city every night. Gas isn't so cheap when you dont have a job.

I have started, kind of, looking for a job, and looking a bit more for an apartment, but not in edmonton. Calgary seems to be the next stop in my life. spend some time close to the rockies, and hopeully in them a bit more.

i have done nothing about my pictures, but hope to get some posted and developed soon enough.

and i bought a tree.

Norfolk Pine. about 2 - 3 feet tall. its so cute

home again

ok, its official, I am home

i slept [ for a few hours anyways] i my own bed again, now its 6 am and i am awake, hope its not a repeat of way there, crazy jetlag

my cats are huge, GyNORMOUS its sick

and i already had some Tim Hortons! mmmm

wings are definatly on the list of things to do

standing in the customs line at the Vancouver airport, waiting to go through, i am in the ' Canadians residents' line and i don't know where the people in front of me were living but they we complaining about the food being shit [ i would imagine Tunisia is where they could have been]

and they were talking about where they missed, WHITESPOT for a burger [ not red robin unfortunately] and WINGS
and as soon as they said wings like 5 or 6 other people in line joined in, ohhh yea, wings i miss wings

so Canada, i think we have another thing to add to our be proud list, you just can't get wings like here, we know our wings

back in london

after spending the night in the london airport all is well, i will be soon be on the bus to the next airport to catch my flight!

internet here..... like giving your blood for time!

tomorrow night i fly out of Barcelona into london friday night

london to vancouver saturday afternoon

vancouver to edmonton saturday evening


and i will be home at some time in the late evening on saturday dec 10, after what feels like ages

i have heard that my favorite feline has gotten very big with fat hair, so i will be happy to pick his lard ass up

i am looking forward to the treats i have sent home, which if they have arrived better have remained SEALED as they ar not addressed to anyone but MYSELF

oh and i sent a load of postacrds from Tunisia, but have a feeling that the lady mis understood me and that there is not enough postage on them, so if you get them, great, if not, i spent some money one NOTHING grrrr and they were sweet postcards too, so i hope they arrive

anyways

home tommorrow and saturday in my own bed, weird

john is already crying inside , probably for joy, hahah

some one warn me on the weather that i have to come home to?:::

Barcelona 1992

I am here in Barcelona, the site for the 1992 Olympic Games.

i have not seen anything that would let you know it, except i heard about the man made beach that they did for the games, apperantly there was no beach in the city before.

spent a good few days in Italy, saw quite alot of cities considering the time i was there,

only a few more days left before i fly to london to begin my journey home,

its strange, feels like i have been gone for a long long time, will be weird to be home
defianltly looking forward to ´home` but it will be sad to leave all the same

Ireland pictures

a few favorites from ireland
Ill post more later, but here are some gooders

I was trying to be a sheep paparrazzi, i think i did good, and no i am not defying gravity, i just didnt turn the picture

and the little silver car, is the one we were driving for our time, cute huh?

tommorrow

i will ride a camel, what more do i need to say


besides a few days ago, i had a turban thingy on my head, full on arab get up, oh yes, oh yes

رسالة شكر

I have no idea what the title is but it is in arabic and it looks cool

so if anyone can see it and read arabic and its a swear, sorry

ok so some how i managed to chqnge the keyboqrd bqck to english except when you look at it nothing is the same

so the past few days crazy,
the guide book we have ( lonely planet) sucks, heres why
the places it says are good are pretty good, but the places it says it sucks, are also good, so really you dont know where to go cuz sometimes the places its says that suck, really do suck, like Matmata today, its where some of stars wars was filmed, so one would think that they would use that to capitalize on the tourist scene and make it a cool place, but infact it is VERY, (read: horribly) dissapointing, the ^star wars^ hotel, is a dump and only there fo the 15 - 20 tour buses that stop there, i guess in a way its neat but compared to ther thinsg we have seen its is bogus and the man charges the tour bus people money to use the can, about 75 cents CAD, so he is making a fortune,

yesterday we stayed at a plces called Ksar Hallouff, let me tell you that it was amazing, another planet, you wonder when you left earth, in the middle of crazy desert mountains, which we climbed and cliff walked and scaled massive boulders in all we hiked 10 kms as the crow flies, whiwh translates into VERY FAR but it was great, eating atop a crazy mountain in the weirdness of the desert mountains

the pictures will prove nothing, but i was amazing

oh and every radio station plays Bryan Adams, ha ha, and Celine, WHAT IS THIS PLACE!

here si some arabic for you to see;

ناني تلابهعسش لبنسشعاب نشسعغبشسعخها بهسشعبنمشتمعنصخهغثلةىلاؤنماشستاس م

enjoy that? i bet you did
here this next bit says joanne ( as corresponding with the french keyboard, not actually in arabic)

تخضىىث

cool huh?

Flamingo Point

So we spent some time on the shores of the Medditerranian Sea, on white sand beaches swimming in the sea, was fantastic, saw some wild flocks of flamingos but they were a bit to elusive to take a photo of

The water is not warm, a bit cool, but entirely refreshing and you can stay in for a long time without being cold; the beaches rae full of very old european people, no young people at all, lots of horse on the beach available to ride, although we didn;t a few massive resorts charging 500 Dinars a night we stayed at a place that was only 30 / night, much more reasonable:

the food here, has left some room for desire: their favortie thing to eat is tuna

tuna .....TUNisiA coincidence? they put tuna on and in everything, including pizza that and egg (egg and tuna) live as one in everything you eat** lots of octupus too, but that stuff is tasty most of the time

i have aquired a few odd bites on my arms, at first i thought it was mlosi bites, but now that the red and swelling went down it is much more peculiar, probably some sort of wild desert spider having lunch on my arm no negative side effects really, just a bit itchy and annoying at times, i have also been attcked by mosquitos whiwh i find a bit odd since at home i rarly get bitten, they ,usty love the canadian blood,

everyone here seems to think that we are dutch, they must get alot of them dutches when i say NO they continue to guess every country from which white people come from

one guy after exhausting his options of his mind, pointed to the sky and said..... Allah? ha ha
yes , i am from heaven..... i told him canada, he will probably add that to his list now;

some other guy told me ( after i told him i was from canada ) that he was too, and his mother was Celine Dion, wow, she sure has gotten around
