We spent all day yesterday on the beach!!! The sun was beautiful, the sea was beautiful, the sand was beautiful, the scenery was beautiful, the surf was beautiful; it was just completely gorgeous. You should all be really jealous! I got the best tan ever, I’m so pleased with my skin, it’s done me proud. Got really burnt too, of course, and last night I was more orange than David Dickinson and Dale Winton put together, but hopefully it will go brown and not peel…

Saw a sign today by the Miltary Police station which said “Welcome to Ilha Grande. Visit our head couters”. I assume they mean headquarters, but “head couters” is better. When I have a large organisation, I will have my head couters somewhere hot too.
