Deco

A minha amiga M. faz uns decos lindos, lindos. Eu não tenho jeitinho nenhum, mas gosto muito deles. Sabendo a M. que eu adoro gatos, iniciou um deco com esse tenma. Há uns tempos, recebi-o em casa. É lindo, lindo. Vejam as fotos aqui, para variar :-p

Mais uma malinha :)

Como já vos tinha dito, fiz mais uma mala em crochet, desta vez um outro modelo. O que acham?

Para variar, não consigo pôr aqui as fotos, cliquem aqui e aqui.

"É pá! Ganda volta!"

Já há muito que não vinha aqui. A minha vida anda numa monotonia que só visto, daí não ter nada de interessante para dizer. Ultimamente é só trabalho, ora a escrever a parte teórica da tese, :p, ora no CLUL ou na Sábado.
No entanto, queria mostra-vos um dos meus últimos trabalhos em crochet. É uma malinha que já fiz há muito tempo e que ofereci à minha querida amiga T. Entretanto, terminei um outro modelo. Assim que tiver fotos, coloco aqui.

Nota: Não consgi pôr aqui fotos, assim, para verem a malinha é só clicarem aqui e aqui :-)

Ai o futuro de amanhã

Estava agora a ver o Primeiro Jornal na SIC. Francis Obikwelu promoveu um encontro com jovens no Algarve para lhes falar dos benefícios do desporto e para promover a Academia de Altletismo que vai abrir em 2008. A jornalista que estava a fazer a cobertura do acontecimento entrevistou alguns dos jovens que lá estavam. Perguntou a um deles: então pratica atletismo? Ao que o jovem responde, pratico sim, sou atletista...

Mais um...

Como já devem saber, eu não resisto aos pijaminhas da Oysho, ainda mais agora que saiu a nova colecção da Mafalda, que eu adoro. Vejam a minha nova aquisição:

Livrinhos novos :)

Livros não me faltam, agora só falta começar a fazer coisinhas :-) Haja tempo, jeito e paciência :-p

Chaiyya Chaiyya

Há uns tempos atrás, na rubrica Há Vida em Markl na Antena 3, Nuno Markl falou da música de abertura do filme Infiltrado (The Inside Man) de Spike Lee, que eu adorei. A música foi retirada de uma cena de um filme indiano. Deixo-vos aqui as duas versões. Digam lá se o vídeo indiano não é lindo? E adoro a música :)
