On the run

A wedding party is not somewhere to be for a phobic like me. When my niece’s wedding day came, the only way out for me was to pack my things and to hit the road to a place I called Escondido. When I get there, the tide was low and the estuary was exposed. The landscape has changed a lot. Once, there was some sand but now there are only stones. I am an angler and this may not worry me much. So I put down my load and began to gather some sea slugs. It is the only way to have a decent phishing party. When I started fishing, I got only seaweeds and nothing but seaweeds. This didn’t disappoint me a lot. Sometimes you win some times you just do not! In fact, I was just waiting for the night to come. I know the tide will be low once again, but it doesn’t really matter; tonight, fishing will be just a way to desert the family. After a while, the night fell.  The emptiness was so present that it inspired me fear. A camp fire and the rising of the moon brought to me soon a real sense of security. The sky above was clear and filled with stars. A magic sight was there, generously reveled to my amazed eyes. The earth was wrapped in the darkness but there was a lot to see in the sky. When Venus rose-up in the horizon, it was almost midnight. Therefore, it was time for me to leave that wonderful land.

Here she comes.. So glad we are!

It seems that for her, an appointment means a lot. As far as I remember, she had never broken a promise. When she comes to us, she comes alone, but sometimes she conveys some old fellows of her. We had never felt offended then.  The fact is that we appreciate them all, so much .How wonderful she is when she lies down her perfect silver body. When her elder friends join her, almost everybody here get lavish receptions, so food exceeds and liquor flows. I like her curves when she’s made croquettes. For us sardine eating is a communal duty. No body among us would like to miss such a unique occasion. She honors our shores once a year ..

Meeting friends


Most of us think that in anyway an ever-lasting holiday could be the sweetest thing that could happen to them. Obviously, I share that point of view! Though I was rather like a kid who is daring his first class day, I was quite excited to meet my former students. After almost an entire year of closeness, a special relation has grown up between us. This was really a kind of mixture made of friendship and parental relationship. It seems that I was for them more than a friend and less than a dad, I mean. My endless sincere happiness was simply great when I met them. I would have loved to take them in my armes, as a loving father would do!

Stuck on the 'sand'

The weather was clear and a western wind was blowing softly. These are good signs. Time is propitious to fishing. I caught wali. And we heat the road to Sidi Daniane. He was fasting the entire month of Ramadan for the first time in his life and he was apparently doing well. We had only Three hours and that was not enough to have a respectable fishing party. Consequently and as usually we had been empty-handed. Despite of it we went on a drive to discover the spot. When it remained only a quarter hour to the fast breaking time we unfortunately lost our way and we found ourselves stuck on the sand. The car was almost buried. After two unsuccessful attempts to get out we resigned and we asked for help. The last group of teen whose were leaving lent us a hand. We reached home on time.
