What Nanny says

Well, as you should know, she's five years old. One of her most interesting contributions is exactly what she says. Besides dancing beautifully all round the house and finding butterflies to add to my collection, she makes comments that make me wonder what exactly she means. There's always a feeling of not understanding completely on my side. She uses words that simply stay, they don't just vanish like ordinary words. Like the other day when she suddenly came to me (I was at the computer) and said: "I know you will always love me."
Yesterday she was about going to bed when her mother reminded her of feeding the fishes of the aquarium. Öh. mum," she burst out crying. Her mother said: "No problem, you can feed them now, there's no need to cry."I know,"she said, but I also know that they will never forgive me."

HERE AND THERE

I decided I'm not going to make any desicions for some time. I'll just breathe and eat and sleep and ...

There's a lot of guavas spread on the ground of my backyard. The hens will probably eat them.

My hair is horrible. It will have to wait, too

Ronaldo scored an unforgetable goal. Lucky guy! God bless him.

No more sugar, the doctor said to me. How can I live without sugar? No way! I'll try to eat less, which means about half of a lot of it. I hope it will be enough.

I dreamed I was moving house. I was very busy, but happy.

I saw the number two Pink Panther. The movie theater was so empty, (three people in all) that I could hear my laughing alone. It sounded so awkward, so different from the way I used to laugh. I almost cried.

Why not a second one?

Nanny is the cutest thing on earth, but she can make faces like no one else.

why not a picture?

Everybody knows that a picture is worth more than a thousand words.

Back to reality

I'm back to the things we just have to do because they're what everybody does. Back to our civized prison with our customary schedules ...
After watching the sea for a long time, after playing on the beach as if I myself were a kid, after feeling so connected to nature...
Which one is reality? And what is it that prevents us from living the best reality?
MONEY!

Hi, everybody! Hi, my prison fellows!

Nanny is five now.She's so smart and gorgeous you wouldn't believe. She had a lovely birthday party as usual.

I'm thinking of going back to Rio, my home town. I just feel more alive there. The trouble is I can't have Nanny with me. As you can see, you can't have it all.
