I felt like telling the world and his dog to piss off this morning, fortunately I have calmed down a bit, at least enough to not be so horrid to my football loving husband. I woke up early and worked on this bloody blog (it takes a lot of time to catch up on if things aren't typed up regularly) while Djalma slept. We got ready to go and walked from Daniel's house in the Ville Nouvelle to the Medina - which closes early on Friday's so we missed it.
Feeling tired we wandered back into the Ville Nouvelle, which feels much more like a real town from the present day, found a cafe with wifi where I stayed for quite a few hours, typing everything up, sorting out photos and captions. Djalma watched the opening ceremony, which looked quite impressive from what I saw and then went to watch the first football match, S. Africa vs Mexico 1-1, with Daniel and Chris in a cafe near their flat.
We met up later after I had finished working and went to watch another game, joy. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, some of the players were quite cute, had pretty faces and good hair and everyone had enormous thighs which made up for my lack of interest in the 'beautiful game'. We met up with Daniel's beautiful young Moroccan girlfriend and another American English teacher (both Daniel and Chris are EFL teachers), Chelsea who was really lovely. We sat and chatted with half an eye on the TV and drank tea or fizzy pop. Very relaxing but quite nippy – Meknès was really cool mostly hovering under 20degrees.

On the way back home Daniel casually mentioned kissing my husband in the morning - D strolled up to say good morning and stood so close to Daniel that he was prompted to give a kiss hello, he said he wasn't sure whether or not D was going in for one so thought 'fuck it', why not? and gave him a smacker (on the cheek I hope!). After this little story was relayed the kissing culture question came up and Daniel asked whether or not men kissed each other hello in Brazil, of course Djalma does, 'I've a whole load of love in this delicious body', how true he is.
