Wow! its exhausting just reading it - I'm printing the journals out for Grannie to read and she's got a map so she can see where you are - I think she'll sleep for a week after that one. Not much happening here, still trying to sell the car, so Dad's staying here to do that and I'm off to the cottage to do some decorating etc. Off to see Ruby and Anita next week, apparently she's walking so I must see that. Looking forward to seeing all the photos. Love M

eazy tom - i'm glad i didn't come with you - i'd be on 20mg of olanzapine by now. glad you've had a great time. i guess the carnival is linked to lent because it ended at the same time. i've given up drinking at home - hence lots of trips to the pub. seriously though i'm playing so much football i can't drink. too many goals & assists to tell u about but the main thing is the team -- wasted talent - is winning. got done by the son of god yesterday for 1 goal but got my own back with a nutmeg assist.
Been lots of carnival info at home. apparently the forced kiss was banned in oloapsodnknflks (where you're allowed to go up to any woman and force her to kiss you for as long as possible) - can't think why. here in the uk the ladies r finally getting paid as much as the men, at wimbledon. the men are now seeking equal treatment by only playing 3 sets.
as for the rugby jason robinson is out and johnny wilkinson has a dodgy hamstring so expect us to get whipped. lcfc won their 3rd match on the trot. 43 points now and bellamy is now a legend in liverpool after celebrating the first goal with a golf swing. available at william hill b4 the match at 100/1. - b*****

Hi TomTom,
Sound like your having an amazing time! The pictures are awesome - soo jealous - one day I will get to South America.
Well done on your Portugese presentation, sounds scary but glad your feeling more confident with it all now!
Glad your getting to go out - you've been out more than me - I've only been to one random beach party so far and had two beers! Take care of yourself!
I'll be sending a group e-mail to bore you with shortly.

what is a Poisson variable?

To explain: the fireworks blew up. It was a mess party after all; and always best to hide behind a rock at those events.

Crickey; I had pondered for some time why antone would want to have an elective in the winter months when Britain is marooned in snow; and why they would want to elect to go overseas [i went to Southmead], but now I understand.
The papers - even the grauniad are full of pictures of the Carnival, usually showing amazing females doing amazing things dressed in amazing things [or not?].
So whilst I thought that you had gone to learn about tropical diseases in time for global warming, or for soccer [much covered elsewhere in the notes from curiously named people all masquerading as Nic]; it was actually this! Brilliant idea!
Mum
just a short message, you seem to be having too much fun to read them - only kidding!! it all sounds fantastic. Had a good week with David and Vivienne and family. Felix took me out to Jessicas for Valentines Day, an exclusive Michelin starred restaurant in Edgbaston, he had to book on Januaary 2nd or else it would have been to late. Its 39 years since we first went out! it was a great meal and they gave me a red rose as i left! Take care, lots of love M
Brazilian Girl
it wasn't your dancing just your big brazilian nose & huge ass!

Hello all - brief message cos I´m on the most expensive internet connection in Brazil!!! Hope you are all well? I´m 2 days into the carnaval and surviving on very little sleep and too much sun & booze (not in that order!?)
Its been a good week & I´ll update you properly at the end of the carnaval - but Friday I went to Lapa which had a street party, a parade and then went to a club which was really good (same one as last week)... Needless to say its amazing... Lots of beautiful people here stutting there stuff and getting progrtessively more frenzied!! Girls I think a lot if (rightly) made of the Brazilan women (though I am building up an immunity here - theres so many you kinda don´t notice people hald the time) but the men are equally impressive - they are all massive!!! Walk into a club and it feels like Globogym (the gym from Dodgeball - for those of you that aren´t adaquately accquainted!)... I think that is the most complicated sentence I´ve ever written!!!! Or it feels like it, can any notice I may still be drunk!?! Highlight of the night came when a Brazilian girl was convinced I was Brazilian pretending to be English - because of my dancing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found this hilarious and will keep reminding anyone that mocks my dancing in the future
Last night Papa went to Lapa again for more street partying and a night at a very local club... not one for any guide books (the club that the lonely planet recommnended had been shut down!!!) so we just wandered about and then found a club that lots of Carioca people seemed to be going to... I was impressed when loads started gathereing outside (cos it was too packed) to dance to the music... Anyway It was very very good with lots of different music and Brazilian hip-hop. In the end everyone left and I realised I was there Solzinho (alone - Nick ´all alone!´) but it was brilliant - by this point I was too drunk to dance, but I enjoyed watching!!! And arrived some time this morning. So off to the beach today and may try to scam some tickets to the Sambadrome (where the actual parade takes place - it is ridiculously expensive top get touted tickets!)
Hope everyone is well
Lots of love
Tommy
