grave loss...

the first thing that happened to me this weekend, as many of you will already know is that my handbag was stolen.

in a way I wish I could write about an exciting chase scene that ensued, or dangerous situations under which it happened.

but the reality was that I was having a very posh cupcake in Buenos Aires and a pretty decent cup of tea.  which is perhaps why I let my defences down and did not notice it happening.

anyway, in my handbag, along with many other things, were all of my photos from my trip.  I have a few left on here as drafts that I had uploaded, but many have gone.  so the last few posts of brazil will tax my writing abilities to describe some of the beautiful shots that I had taken.

but this is just stuff, and I have my memories.  it's just a shame that the marathon slide show I was planning on my return for you all, will now have a large chunk missing.  and for this I know you will be mortified.

amazingly, laptopgate was carried out without a shred (poetic license, powder and lipliner on my cheeks only) of make up applied to my face because this was in my bag also.  who knew I could survive two days without make up!  from every experience we learn something about ourselves...

good bye Anna...
