This Brazil is a really mad country. There is a big flood in the North East and there are 98,000 homeless. This is absurd: In the North East there are 8,000,000 sq km of fertile land and only 1% is used. If this country was run by people who didn’t think just about money all the time and cared about their people, we would be the richest country in the world. Tancredo just had another little operation. He needs a miracle. We are heading for difficult times. Tancredo is a person who gives out very tender vibrations. He’s everyone’s granddad. I’m really crying now, I hope he survives.
In the morning I went down with Alexandra and we were chatting with some boys who are staying for a little holiday. I went home to have lunch and had a chat with my mum to make peace. She said she’s not a lesbian but at the moment is having a relationship with Carmen for support, and because she’s feeling lonely. Carmen is a lesbian though. I can’t criticise but wouldn’t swap a man for a woman. I think a lot of women are lesbians because when they were young they were not allowed to be near boys, only girls, and ended up falling in love with them. Nowadays it’s different, there is more choice, and most people choose the opposite sex.
