WHERE IS SARA? Here is my most recent notice from last log on.
Sara's date: May 21, 2012
Location: Vale de Santiago, PortugalWeather: 17C and sunny
Yup - still cooler weather, but that is ok because when it is hot it is HOT. Going to Faro today to pick up a car - thank God - going a little bit stir crazy without transportation.... then to Albufeira to pick up my materials for the sailing course - psyched ! Still lovely and sunny - lots of rain yesterday which is great because I didn't have to water the plants!
Sara’s OP ED
Here I am in London, England and the weather is unseasonably warm, again. End of March and it is 20 degrees Celsius but are we to believe the pundits who say there is not such thing as climate change? I check the weather back in Canada where my Mum lives in Mississauga and it was 23 degrees Celsius last week - in Canada's winter!!! Today it is only 8C, tomorrow set to be 16C and then the next day -1C. But no, there is no climate change. I can't complain whether one wants to acknowledge whether there is or there isn't because I am not a big fan of the cold. But the polar bears are certain to care.
May we never let the pettiness of past lives filter into the grandeur of our own! (Sara's own wisdom)
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Did you know that the English term ‘gawdy’ is not a namesake of the famous Spanish architect Gaudi. However, they certainly could be interchanged. I had been told about Gaudi’s…
