sometimes it can be scary.....

Due to overindulging of late, in everything party-related, I decided at the end of last week to abstain for a while, and withdraw from public life here in Santa Maria for a while.... not just because I had to be reminded that I was on my head in the sand at Grijinha Bar at 4am doing a headstand (I thought I was breakdancing actually.....)

Last night was Wednesday, so far so good.... 4th night in a row! watched a cheesey movie, happily, with just half a glass of 'tinto', then a fkn gigantic thing flew in the window and around the house...

I screamed like a maniac, thought it was a bat!

Turned out to the biggest cockroach in the history of mankind (honestly, no exaggeration)

So once it had landed and crawled under the sofa, I sprayed it with deadly noxious creature killer from the Chinese store, and then hid in the bedroom for one hour so as not to poison myself....

When I came out of my boudoir, it it was wiggling on it's back, nowhere near the sofa


so I said 'sorry' about 100 times and then clubbed it to death with my shoe...



and went to bed



See how exciting life is when you stay in.....



By the way, the picture is a typical Sunday lunchtime on the beach. Notice the cheeky little monkey in the background...
