For the English speakers:

I have decided that I will sometimes post in Portuguese. There are some things that are better expressed in my own language and as this blog is the expression of my thoughts, I sometimes feel limited by having to write in English. When I do write in Portuguese, if any of you are interested, I will try to translate as best I can but some things are unique in Portuguese.

Many of you are already learning to speak Portuguese, so maybe this is a good oppurtunity to practice

Anyway, I don’t think I’ll be writing in Portuguese today..I think…

I think that after the experience of the last comment, I’ll only wax when I go back to Portugal .It’s a question of principle: people who know me know that I don’t give much attention to beauty stuff. Although waxing is a necessity for my own standards I refuse to spend that amount of money in something like that!

Having in mind that I only go to Portugal every 3-5 month I will from now on be known as Yetti!

Either that or go back to using the epilator a.k.a ‘the torture machine’…. But, is it worth it? If you hear me screaming, you’ll know the answer

Forgive me Russ

€55 (£38) for legs and bikini line waxing?????????????

Outrageous!!!

Não sei se é do país, da cidade, ou se é mesmo porque tenho um grande azar. Só sei que isto é só gente doida! Sinto-me como se estivesse num filme do Woody Allen! E estão a pôr maluca a mim! Não fossem alguma pessoas excelentes que conheci aqui (poucas) e apanhava o primeiro avião para Portugal!

E sim! Este vai mesmo em português! Tenho saudades da minha língua e quem não percebe que pergunte! Fiz greve ao inglês e faço greve aos comentários também! Podem escrever o que vos apetece, só não esperem resposta. Se se ofenderam paciência. Não é minha intenção. Apeteceu-me escrever e pronto! Tenho que descarregar!

E pronto, era só isto.

P.S. – Não imaginam a trabalheira que deu escrever isto com acentos… Mas o português merece. Só espero não ter dado muitos erros no fervor do momento.

P.S.1 – Acho que  é mesmo azar meu… só pode.

P.S.2 РAs pessoas que adoro importantes para mim aqui sabem quem ṣo.

I am proud to say that the ‘Yes’ won in Portugal! The minus 500 point are due to the fact that the majority of people did not vote. Although I’m speaking against myself (not allowed to vote in England), democracy always looses when people don’t vote. As a result the referendum is not ‘valid’. However, the people spoke and the government says they are going to change the law anyway because it is obvious that it is what the people want. So abortion up to 10 weeks pregnancy will not longer be a crime in Portugal! There is a lot of work to be done now and it will probably take some time. But the important thing has been done already

Mãos à obra senhores ministros que foi para isso que foram eleitos!

EDIT Just adding a link to the BBC page on this subject for the English. But I’m sure most of you has seen it as it has been on the news all weekend

It can also be good for the Portuguese if you a curious on how another country saw it.

After the suggestion of a friend, I (with the work of the almighty Jeronimo) decided to add a link on my images page to send you back to my home page. So if you are one of the 2 people who go there, you can click on ‘sexyforeignwoman.com’ at the top and you’ll be back on my weblog.

The other feature is the subscription to comments. When you make a comment you will see a box that asks if you want to receive an email when further comments are published. Tick it, fill the fields and you will be notified when other people comment on that post. However, it is only valid for that one post This avoids you receiving loads of emails when I post something controversial (which won’t happen in the near future, hopefully).
Considering the ammount of subscribers I have, I assume there won’t be many ticks on that box

That reminds me, SUBSCRIBE!!!

And it’s still snowing!!!! Opened the window this morning and this is what I saw. The roads are too dangerous to drive so we didn’t go to work. After getting all the necessary gear (thick socks, hear muffs, hat, gloves, feather coat), Becca and I went for a walk in the snow Never seen so much snow before! It’s so cool! I looked like a child

It will be a nice day working from home and occasionally going outside to play a bit more

I took a few more pics that you can see here

Will it snow tonight? Will it snow tonight? Will it? Will it?

They say it will!

I bet it won’t ….

Still haven’t figured out which public medical service is worse

As you probably noticed, I’m taking a longer time to post than usual.

A lot has been going on and the mind is not set for posting at the moment.

I think I will be back soon though. Maybe sooner that I think

And btw, this would be a good opportunity for people to subscribe. That way you’ll know when something new is up

Come on! It’s not that difficult
