7 de March, 2024 No Comments

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, clear blue sky. When I was married, I would say that Sunday was my favourite day and that Sunday morning, nobody knew my name. It wasn’t Dad, it wasn’t Richard, nobody knew it, I didn’t answer to any name. I was free to do whatever I wanted: read a newspaper or a book, […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, warmish, sunny, and beautiful clear blue skies. Tuesday, and my name is Dirt at home.

Purposefully showing that she […]
