When I moved to here one year ago, I «stole» myself: I sent two large boxes to a garbage depot, and brought to my new apartment two large boxes full of garbage... Whenever I remember that - like now... - I feel like smashing my stupid head against the wall...<br />But then again I also remember I had so many boxes and bags to supervise that it was almost impossible not to make a mistake...<br />So I get my serenity back.<br />:-)RIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504864950306777236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125887.post-27453355801684111022007-01-21T22:37:00.000+00:002007-01-21T22:37:00.000+00:00I wish I could also be at the Tower in five minute...I wish I could also be at the Tower in five minutes...!<br /><br />:(<br /><br />Yes, that cock I had was wrapped up and put in a box when we moved from Armadale.

E concordo com os teus reparos: antes da fortaleza de Sagres votaria, de olhos fechados, no convento da Arrábida, por exemplo.<br /><br />Já agora deixo aqui um registo, para ti e para todos, que só agora me apeteceu fazer. Um corajoso e frontal anónimo perguntou-me se Portugal acabava em Coimbra... Estive para responder - e afinal estou a fazê-lo à mesma... - que dependeris do sentido da viagem. Mais diria ainda, mas deu-me um gozo superior apagar o comentário cobarde, mesquinho e idiota...<br />Mas este é mesmo o país e a massa humana que há... E contra isso...<br /><br />Um excelente Domingo para ti, meu caro! :-)RIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504864950306777236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125887.post-82703810520899037222007-01-21T00:37:00.000+00:002007-01-21T00:37:00.000+00:00Que beleza, Ric!

Some times I do feel I have to force myself to really appreciate the place where I live, and all the beauty that surrounds me. I guess I save that for the days I have the dark blues... And then I do feel so much better.<br />Oh please, don't mention it, Don! This is what politicians - for instance - should be doing (bringing us all together), instead of all the bull... they say and do...<br />But then again it feels so much better this way, I think...<br />I'm glad you enjoyed the journey!
