"the glorious unpredictability of british weather"

I just heard this sentence on the news.
I can't see what's glorious about it.

busy weekend

This weekend I went home.













I saw my little niece...



I went for a walk by the sea where I found this handsome fella...



And I watched some TV...

Oh! I went to the dentist as well but I didn't take any picture there.

meeting friends

Yesterday I met with Zé and Joana to work on our project (top secret).
After that we went for a walk near St. Paul's, Tate Modern, South Bank...
It's still May but the temperature's already very hot! 27ºC in London is no kid's play!
Hurray for global warming!!!! I LOVE hot weather!!!
:D

I just spent a lovely evening with my dearest friends PA and PJ:D
Em inglês rima e tudo, hã?
hihihi
Thanks for coming, I absolutely ADORED this evening!
:D

Just by my doorstep

Today it was summer here.
Nice sunny afternoon.
I went to the park just across the road with some monkey-nuts to feed the squirrels. Ok, go ahead! Tell me I shouldn't because they are killing the red squirrels blblabla.
I didn't want to stuff them with food for the whole year, I just wanted to take a few pics.
Funny enough, the crows love peanuts just as well!
By the fountain I saw tadpoles for the first time. At first I thought they were some sort of little lizards :D until a 4-year old kid asked her mom to see the baby frogs :D
Life is a learning curve!

My iPod is immortal

I have such love and affection for my iPod that if someone ever takes it away from me I don't know what I'll do.

It happens a lot that I'm running for the bus or train and the damn thing jumps out of my pocket into the ground where it slides like a hockey disc for several meters.
It's all scratched and bruised but it still works perfectly.

Last wednesday, I was getting out of the train in Paddington to meet Fary in Kings+. It was raining a lot and if you know Paddington station, you will know that when it's raining outside, there are waterfalls inside.
So I ran out of the train to avoid taking a shower :D and the ipod slipped out of my pocket into a HUGE puddle of water.
It was completely submerse and stayed a while in there because people wanted to pass and I just couldn't grab it. It kept falling again to the water!!!
It was just like a (ipod's) bad dream! Oh no! let me out of here!!! I'm drowning, I'm drowning!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!

So I finally managed to rescue it. Unbelievably the thing still works. And now it looks even better because it had a bath! It's shiny!!
