BSB 15/03/1986 Saturday
It’s the 1st year anniversary of the Nova Republic (New Republic). There were no celebrations, as it’s also the 1st anniversary of Tancredo’s going to hospital and then dying 40 days later.
Everyone is talking about Halley’s comet. Everyone wants to see it and we spend the whole day planning how and when we will see it. Marcia took us to drive in the embassy zone again. Ana Amelia was driving when a patrol drove past us. They switched seats, but they saw it and came after us, so we stopped. They asked if Ana had been driving, she said she was. They asked for Marcia’s documents. There were three policemen. One was very judgemental and the other two were friendly, laughed at Ana, saying she should be a really excellent driver in about 4 years. I was giggling at the back. They were nice and let us go, they also told us to go and practice at the autodrome, as we won’t get any hassle there. We picked up aunt Wilma, Renata and Roberta from under a tree at the Venezualan embassy, and off we went to the autodrome. It was full of people learning how to drive. I drove a bit and then we left.
In the evening I was out with Renata and Ana. It’s Smurf’s birthday today and he went for a spin with him in his car. Then we were talking to Gininho for a bit. Summertime is finally over, the day finishes earlier today.
