Brazil Trip Getting Near

In less than three weeks I'm catching a plane to Brazil. I've already started putting stuff into my suitcase so I won't forget it behind, like my mother's Good Housekeeping magazines. The shorts are coming out of the drawers as well as the few t-shirts that survived the Winter. I'm overdue a shopping trip for Summer gear. I also need to buy other things for my mom, like the perfume "Beautiful" by Estee Lauder and Bisto (there's none in Brazil despite our love for read meat.)

For my brother Nicholas, I'm buying two pairs of shoes that are commonly found in Portobello's market and which contain a type of lamb fur inside. His feet get very cold in the Winter (he has poor circulation because he can't walk). For my other brother, Martin, I'm buying some books, a CD or two, and some Beatles memorabilia for his girlfriend. I haven't met her yet but he told me she's a big Beatles fan.

I return from Brazil on the 27th of March. I hope Winter will be over by then.

I need right now the Run Lola Run soundtrack pumping through my office and a LARGE cup of coffee.
