London 12/11/1989 Sunday
Yesterday, after going out for a walk in the park nearby (Clissold Park), with my mum, and some shopping, I did a massive spring clean of the flat. It must have been quite something as I’ve lost 2kg from Friday to Saturday!
The Brazilians who live upstairs are Marco and Heloisa. The Jamaican lady – I forgot her name – is a very tall black woman, with red hair. She’s friendly and larger than life. Yesterday evening we went to Carmen’s to get more things and wash some clothes. I got back and wrote to some friends, Gustavo, aunt Jo, my cousin and aunt, Lu, Patricia, Silvana, Reco and Tuira. Alexandra, Gino and Ana Claudia will have to wait a little longer.
Check this out, a packet of cigarettes costs £1.75. Yesterday we went to a second hand shop and I bought a new skirt and velvet trousers for £1!!! Cigarettes are indeed very expensive, and the tube too!
