Days are flying by quickly and we keep on being busy with arranging things at our new place.
Today Anna made a heroic effort to clean the storage room and separate useful things from the old crap.
Some objects that she found are really puzzling.
For example, anybody can explain what exactly is this rusty thing that looks like 2 matching metal plates with a few hard (resin?) balls inside?
Anyhow, we found out that we have twice more space then we thought!
Meanwhile, I continued my never ending battle on the bureaucratic field...7 hours straight of calling, e-mailing... Talking about bureaucracy is boring, so here are instead some more curious details of our daily life.
A few days ago a couple of baby-ducks got separated from the flock and Dady spotted them out lost quacking in front of our gate.
A real village girl, she quickly pushed them inside of our backyard. We waited for half a day, and as the owner of the ducks never showed up, we decided that Dady can take them to her mother, who breeds ducks for sale.
The mango season is starting and inland is full of fruit laying on the ground.
My Russian-Soviet instinct told me to run and collect but before I could figure out where&how, a local village man showed up at our gate selling wild mangoes R$5 (USD 2.7 / Euro 2 / NOK 15.7 / RUB 16.9) per 25 fruits.
Wild magoes (collected from the ground especially) are not so delicious/easy to eat fresh, so we are going to make some jam out of them I guess (tomorrow!).
And the last one for today: tropical climate makes you drink a lot of water through the day. And I hate the tastlessness of plane still water, it makes me wanna puke! So, I enjoy mine always with some slice of lemon. Dady noticed this habbit of mine and came up with a spooky warning: according the the expert opinion of the Northeastern people regular consumption of lemon decreases female firtility factor :-O Or, in Dady's simple words: "Stop drinking water with lemon or you won't have kids". Go figure...
