    Finally signed the contract today, and moved in last week.
    Any builders fancy coming out to do a bit of work?

    Brazilians play the guitar properly, unlike the clodhopping style of most British guitarists.
    Or Danish.

    They like to dance, even to background music in the supermarkets!

    Forgive me friends and @A WUM called Hawtrey but I went to a Bee Gees tribute act last night<sorry>.
    Now I have seen a million and one strange things since I arrived here 13 months ago, but this was the best.
    Whilst the band were playing, there was a young girl on the stage doing sign language<yikes>
    Htf does that work<doh>

    I bet being Brazilian she was more than a woman. Probably a bit of a heartbreaker I’d think. Or maybe she’d just come down with a bit of night fever and was trying to stay alive.

    So I’m clearly not alone in loving the Bee Gees. The question is, how deep is you love ?

    Which part of Brazil and why if it’s not rude to ask?

    wife’s Portuguese but lived in a couple of places in Brazil - São Paulo e Recife

    Not been myself but has been spoken about

    Of course it's not rude to ask.

    I had a heart attack in July 2020 and was kept in Kings to have a triple heart bypass.

    Over the Christmas 2021 I woke up one morning and decided that my health was suffering with work and I needed to jack it in or I was going to end up in an early grave.

    My wife is Brazilian and so she was happy with going back even though very settled in Bromley. We have ended up on the coast two hours from Recife in a city called João Pessoa.

    The other reason was that I was only 5 minutes from @A WUM called Hawtrey and he was getting on my nerves.

    Good for you Elfs. Shame that sometimes it takes such extreme situs to clear our thoughts and get us to live our lives.

    my best wishes to you, enjoy your adventures

    I think about things in a different way now, we only have one innings and need to make the most of it.

    Health and happiness to you and your loved ones.
