Oh what would I give for a bit of southern hemisphere...

My grandmother calls from Rio and tells me about the freezing horrid winter they are experiencing: 17 degrees and she is happier than ever with her woollen coat!!! To which I ironically reply: London is experiencing a fantastic summer - it is presently 14 degrees and I am wearing my biquini!!!

Quote of the week:

"When I die I die. I couldn't give a shit, ´cause it ain´t my problem, I just rather not shit my pants on my way there" on Justin Halpern´s Shit My Dad Says

Goncalo has been laughing out loud with this book for the past 24 hours... I think I´m either too dumb or too inteligent as I don´t get half the jokes!
