Day at the hospital





Long was this day, for everyone. And not light, at all. My brother had a surgery on the past Wednesday and like every surgery, either simple or indeed complicated, people get a little anxious and we all hope for our beloved to leave the operation room. His, in particular, last 15 minutes, wish is nothing but still, either my mum and dad felt a little tense about all this.








Anyhow, he came out and there waited, for hours and hours to come, in the room, waiting for doctors and nurses to come to check is status, make sure everything was checked and no issue was to come post-surgery. From little walks around the room, pain in abdomen area and boredom, we all stood and did the best to make things run a little quicker. Oh, I forgot... he got in the hospital at 8 o'clock, only to leave with the all of us at 7.00 p.m.. No reason to say that spending a whole day in the hospital is something we care to avoid, if possible!








But still, we endured. From a movie screen, a few games and conversations in between, we there did all at our hand (perhaps not at everyone's eyes) to make the place the comfiest possible. Yet, this is an hospital, hence having a feeling of cold and uncertainty in it, no matter what might be the situation...
At the end of day, already night had covered the city with his big vast mantle, we left. And from this point on, a few weeks of no-runnin'-around await my brother. Everything to prevent his wound to open up again.





But for now, we wait for him to get, step by step, better!

Cheers!

If Mohammed is not going to the mountain...

.... the mountain shall go to Mohammed.

Literally speaking, this is how it happened. This uni's year was a very busy and time made me not be able to fly back to Porto, not only because of uni but the will to discover new lands on the map. The consequence of this act was having two people knocking at my door, around the first two weeks of April, where they stayed for about a week.

During this period of time, we had the chance to see London, again :p catch up on the news and whereabouts of each other, show the work done up to that time, some music, some laughs... basically have what has been missing during one's absence - if not by communication, by distance.
























Still, it was a lovely time we spend together and, even though we had some rough - regular London days - weather, that didn't stopped us from doing what we had to do and see.

Let's see when they're coming again to face the urban jungle, where a moving mountain lives!
