All this fuss about finding water on Mars, finding beer would be sure proof of life
Good question. I ask it because my previous post about Lagunilla got 13 likes.
I’ve never had so many likes before, it was wonderful, a real morale booster.
Thanks you all for taking the time to click the ‘Like’ button, appreciated.
Tuesday already. Monday was a typical Monday, my new afternoon student didn’t show, my evening student cancelled, and I got to work for my late afternoon students, and they didn’t show.
I’m broke, no money until tomorrow. I had the month planned beautifully, but a succession of private students not arriving for lessons botched my plans completely. Private students pay better than working for a course, but the problems that arise from private students cause stress, a course, there is no stress.
The old Maracanã
Big fuss in Rio at the moment. The famous Maracanã stadium, symbol of Brazilian football (soccer for our American cousins) is being reformed for the 2014 World Cup. The city council have floated the idea of privatising it. How bloody absurd, people are not happy.
Such a national symbol should not be in private hands.
Time for lunch, a nap and work.

Life is but a Labyrinth 
actually AV, I was discussing superstitions in another blog, and I said I don’t think n.13 brings me good luck…. I live at house n.13 and there was an explosion the day we were moving into this house!!! the electricity board came to change electricity meters, and their engineer had “the brilliant idea” to put a screwdriver into the old fuses, which went BADABANG !!! big explosion, all the entrance walls were black, I turned around from the removal truck and saw big black smoke coming out of the house, in a few minutes 2 fireengines were there and ambulance to take away the engineer, as all the skin on his face and hands had come off. Luckily he was wearing glasses, which shattered and saved his eyes. That was the beginning…there have been other incidents since we’ve been in this house, so I don’t like n.13. Furthermore I refuse to sit in row 13 on a plane (mind you most planes don’t have a row 13) I don’t want room n.13 in a hotel etc etc… We have a client who builds yachts in Italy, and if you give numbers to yachts, they always skip n.13 and n.17 (another unlucky number for Italians…) there’s my story for you..

>OAiC, I have never been overly superstitious, but it was an opening line. 13 does have a reputation, but it’s different in many countries, you mentioned Italy, in Japan I think it is 4… so who knows? You certainly seem to have a history with the number.
