Countdown...

... to put my feet on Portuguese soil again! :)


1 month to go...
(as of today, 13th January 2009)

Monday 12 January 2009

Being in London (UK) is...

- feeling max temperatures between 0ºC to 5ºC

- feeling min temperatures between -5ºC to -10ºC

- feeling that your money is worth much less than 1 year ago (even a few months ago), the Pound has fallen 25% in the past 18months, and 12% in the last four months.

- many prices are increasing due to weekness of £

- tube and bus fares increase by 6% (I'll pay £3.20 more per month from now!!)


Oh well, better times will come.

Yoshimoto Cube

"Yoshimoto discovered this cube when he was searching for a way to divide a cube equally in three-dimensional space. The result is a peculiar polyhedral dyad consisting of eight interconnected cubes that can be opened in multiple ways. The cube can be divided into two cubes and then transformed into two rhombuses, one silver the other gold with twelve faces each. With its endless transformations, this cube makes a great toy for children as well as an intriguing desktop puzzle. Made of polypropylene." in www.momastore.org/
