Hello from Brazil again


Hi everyone, tomorrow I and my son will have vaccination against yellow fever. It's just a prevention of the disease because we in Espirito Santo are somewhat isolated because although the disease hasn't arrived here yet, we are completely surrounded by the disease that are spread in our neighbouring states. HELP !

Ana Paula and Stephen, May I join the club for people who has tyres after christmas? My new year's resolution is to follow programmed methods for losing weight. I'm on diet, having massages and I'm going to gym...I hate that kind of exercise. I like to be outside feeling the fresh air but it's necessary for returning to the football team. More over, I’ve been said that the diameter of my right leg is larger than my left leg. I have to fix that. I just don’t understand when people say I’m not fat. I feel that I’m fat and nobody will persuade me. My sister-in-law always says that she is fatter than me. She needs a pair of glasses!



Ana Paula, I’m worried with your sister too. Do you know what is the condition? I hope she gets better.

Jo, I’ve sent a comment to you.

Hi Sinwal, Thanks, it’s very kind of you reminding me. I think I’m well here. I’ve read one of your comments saying that you’ve had a promotion at work. Congratulations! I am often busy in the mornings. I start working very early because most of my patients work in commerce that starts at 8 am and they fight for the first consultation at 7 am so I cannot be late. The earlier I start working the more likely to be back home soon and spend more time with my son (is this phrase right? :-)

Naheed, Iago is ok. At christmas, he bought a gift to Santa Claus and waited until 2am for him. It broke my heart...and my sleep because I had to wait for him getting asleep to write a letter as it was from Santa Claus. My brother-in law used to call him at Christmas as it was Santa Claus, like this: "Hello, who am I speaking to? Iago? Do you know who is speaking to you? Ho ho ho! Have you been a good boy, a good son?..."You should see his emotion and reaction, Here is a picture of him saying a poetry and then in a play at school.






At last I could see how Anita looks like. I’m glad to see former bloggers again. Today I was thinking of Satya because I was doing a pile of ironing and thinking “why the engineers don’t create a robot that can do all the boring things like ironing?”

Friends, here the sun is shinning again. It’s too hot! That’s the reason we spend a lot of water. Sorry for that but we love water!

May I show you this video? The name is:“Tudo vai passar”(everything will be ok).

If you all have time, watch the other video which shows a competition in Vitória city in Espírito Santo state in Brazil where I live. Note at the end how they are grateful to God who is always in first place for them.
