Wow! I KNOW IT DOES!
DENKUWEEL DENKUWEEL DENKUWEEL DENKUWEEL ETCETCETCETCETC!!!!!!

I turned off the computer 2hoursago (1 a.m. now). I brought home a big box I found today while I was cleaning Leonor's room. In the box (my mouth feel open)were about 500 photos. They were mine. Not one was taken in Portugal, but they show my life from age 14. Taken in about 10 different countries, mostly London 4 continents. So many close friends and partners years & years ago. My family. Beauties of Ana. I think I haven't seen inside this box since London, 1994 or 95. Can you imagine?
That'swhatI'vebeen doing in this alien placefor 2hours. I finished looking, sorting & suddenly I wanted to open the computer again. i found a great visit from Papalagui, who is now my other Leonor! Then I wanted to 'travel' & see what everybody is up to. I am just stunned atwhat I found you have done for me, my dear Marjan. It must have taken you forever!
I calculate that I have just inherited about 80 fresh young lives. After more than 10 hours - & much time looking closely into the face of an 86-yr-old terminally doente (it WAS a very good day between her & me, though she slept most of it, but her skin is still smooth and wonderful), I just looked very closely at all of these children.
Conclusion? Well, I've long thought that life is nothing but a 360º wheel. it turns just once. Our problem is, we don't know when it will finish its turn. When the 360º is complete, that is it, over.
So, I'm going to say one more obrigadissimo and - as is our custom - wish you, yours, everyone who reads this and all of those shining, happy little faces a Long Happy Life! Night night! XXX
