It's been too long but . . .

Arrived in Copacabana today for a full week of business sessions next week in São Paulo but against the unhappy background of Dd tripping on the pavement on her way to work in Barcelona this morning and breaking her foot which is now in plaster. Good friends rallied round to help her back from the hospital and do their best to set her up in our house to cope with the first few days when she can't put weight on it. They will be in and out over the next few days with one staying over tomorrow and Undercovercairo will be back in town on Monday. She will have to be away from her course for a while and everything is a bit up in the air.
