And the sun shines again!

Hi dear all! How are you doing? I hope you´re all very well :-).

My sister Rosana is still at the hospital, but she´s getting better. If she doesn´t get better till tomorrow ( she will), she´ll have to be removed to a hospital at São Paulo city in order to have a more specific treatment. But she looked very well today. I think there´s no necessity to remove her to São Paulo. Thank you Adri for asking about my sister´s health, you´re so sweet :-).

Today was a perfect day for a walk. The sun bright on the afternoon and a soft breeze were around. The Itapety Mountain was so beautiful. I´ve tried to post a picture but didin´t work. I´ll keep trying anyway.

Adri, welcome to the spare tyre club :-). When we´re with a friend our sister we never agree who is the fatter one. After Christmas everybody is blamed. You blame your genes, your grandmother, your neighbour, etc. You only don´t put the the blame on the extra chocolates that you´ve eaten :-). Oh, that´s makes me remember of a friend of mine. She never admits that she puts some weight on. She always says she´s retaining liquid, therefore she´s swelled up. So, lets think like her. The spare tyre is actually a liquid retaining and there´s nothing to do with overeating. We are swelled up, ok? It´s hot and people swell up all the time when it´s hot. Haha. Just like you I like to exercise outdoors. However, it´s really hard to have a January afternoon without a heavy rain. Today was an exception. By the way Adri, Have you ever tried any BodySystems activity. I´m sure you´ll like it. It´s really great.

Paul it´s nice to see you here again :-). You´ve contacted us when we first became student bloggers, and now it´s wonderful hear some words from you :-).

Lewis, nice to meet you :-). I didn´t know the blog area when you´re teaching here. It´s nice to hear from you.

Antonio, I´m studying to take the FCE exam this year. Could I ask you something? What did you think about the speaking test? Did you feel nervous? I have to confess that I fell a bit dizzy when I think about it.

Anita, on Christmas the temperature was below 0° C in your country! I can´t imagine a Christmas so cold like this. It must be great, at least for someone like me who has never spent a Christmas in a cold weather :-). Can you imagine how a Christmas with temperatures above 35°C is? Very different, isn´t it? :-).

Good bye for now, see you soon,

Ana Paula.

Hi Ana Paula, My turn to comment on your blog for a change! I like your friend's suggestion that she hasn't really put on weight, but is just retaining water. Very funny! If I have a spare tyre, maybe I can say I haven't really gained weight, I'm just holding too much gas in my stomach. What do you think? Hope your sister is feeling better soon.

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
