Goodbye, 2015! Hello, 2016!

Waiting on the World to Change - John Mayer



(...)

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want

That's why we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Growing Up (Sloane's Song) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ed Sheeran



(...) I won't spoil you, you can trust that
For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass
Had your heart broken? Been there, done that
I love you and I can't give you enough of that
Get back to community that raised you up
Read Langston Hughes, I suggest "A Raisin in the Sun"
Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come
You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love
Don't try to change the world, find something that you love
And do it every day
Do that for the rest of your life
And eventually, the world will change

(...)
I'll be patient, one more month
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up
I'm still growing up, up, up, up
I'm still growing up
(...)

De volta ao trabalho...

Férias em família

Uma semana em perfeita comunhão com a natureza e a família. Jogos. Sumos naturais. Risos. Frutas. Filmes. Fotografias. Muitas fotografias. Passeios. Banhos no rio. Mais passeios. Grandes almoços e jantares. Domir muito. Descansar bastante. Petiscos. Gargalhadas. Coisinhas boas. Cerveja fresca. Mimos. Muitos mimos. Leituras. Conversas. Férias.

Casa de Fataunços

4 dias e 3 noites na melhor das companhias: os amigos de sempre.
Obrigada, camaradas! Como sempre, não desiludiram, mas também convenhamos: alguma coisa podia ter corrido mal num espaço desses? E as cerejas? Boas, boas, boas!!!
Como é, voltamos no próximo fim de semana?

"To the Parent of the Unvaccinated Child Who Exposed My Family to Measles"

I assume you love your child just like I love mine. I assume that you are trying to make good choices regarding their care. Please realize that your child does not live in a bubble. When your child gets sick, other children are exposed. My children. Why would you knowingly expose anyone to your sick, unvaccinated child after recently visiting Disneyland? That was a boneheaded move.

1 ano de Matilde!

A nossa princesa está uma menina e no passado dia 20 cantámos-lhe os parabéns na companhia de familiares e amigos com este lindíssimo bolo da Aldeia Doce.
Que venham muito, muito mais aniversários.
Parabéns, princesa!
