Os londrinos na rua mais antiga: Fleet Street e o árabe no meio da balbúrdia da feira de Camden. Se olharmos para cima não há diferenças, são só nuvens, não creio que de haxe mas não tenho bem a certeza dada a persistência da criança em querer um nevoeiro só para si. passei o tempo todo com a cantilena "London Bridge is falling down, falling down..." talvez porque receasse uma hecatombe mas afinal não, o maior susto foi mesmo o do árabe que não queria ser fotografado e correu atrás da máquina quando a ergui ligeiramente e lhe apanhei a face.Meu caro, se visses o resultado talvez ganhasses mais facilmente a vidinha posando para turistas curiosas.

One Art
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster,
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three beloved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
-- Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) a disaster
