The promised rain arrives, somewhat short of torrential, but persists all day, enough that Jane calls Maggi to cancel attendance at the (walking not running contingent) hash we had meant to go to in Pyla. Just as well as the roads would have been all mud. So mostly indoors and in the evening M and I play Scrabble.

Rather depressing announcement from Tunisia that a "unity" coalition government has been formed. The depressing bit is that, while three opposition party leaders have been given cabinet positions in this interim administration, all the other ministries remain in the hands of those who held them under BenAli, including those most hated by the general public.
