Today the Oscar for the best food goes to the nut I found in the grass in the front garden. Every fall the huge nut tree in front of our house gives us piles of dry leaves and nuts. It's been ages since I ate green nuts; they are bitter unless you remove their peal. No, my next text won't be about hugging trees...
The Oscar for the best movie for today goes to the shop visit to buy a white door with my dad. It was a tough negotiation but really...why would a door 88, 78 or 68 cm wide cost the same? And why do I have to be recently married or living in a new house to get a discount? I am learning. We got the door, tomorrow we start building the new wardrobe!
The Oscar for the best second act today goes to the dogs on some back street where I live. They pulled such a great act: they barked loudly and ran so fast behind me that they had me convinced. They stopped and ran away as soon as I leaned down...they always do, but boy they got me scared!
The final award today goes to the town where I live, to its people; the houses are freshly and happily painted, the streets are newly paved, flowers and trees are planted everywhere...bem arrumadinho, like one would say in Portuguese. Chapeau to them!
