Maria C ’s Reviews > Letters from Skye > Status Update

:))

When dawn broke, my mother found me sitting stiffly in bed, quite awake, clutching my blanket around me. I was convinced God was punishing me for my sin of stealing the altar candle. So what did I do the following Sunday to atone for my sin? I pilfered a candle from our cupboard at home and left it at the church!

Tem uma noite descansada. Se ouvires alguma batida de coração só pode ser o teu. É um indício de que estás viva 😉

Lembrei-me de ti, querida. Não consigo parar de rir. As crianças são muito giras, não são?

Dorme bem !!!💓💓

Beijinhos.

Haha ! This reminds me of à little girl who long time ago stole a few little stones from under the Arc of Triomphe. Since then, the girl has grown up, but she still comes back under the Arc, from time to time,
to relive those memories..
And for a moment, she is both the woman she has become and à little girl she was, stealing small stones
and hiding big dreams in her pockets. And each time she returns, she's reminded that some pieces of childhood never truly go, they simply wait to be found again..

Bonjour, Théo

I laughed out loud while posting this update because I’ve already read that short story. Have you read it?

That memory from my childhood, when I went to Paris, is such a tender one.
Have I ever told you that I went to the Paris Zoo and adored the little monkeys?
And I even learnt a few phrases in French. Once, at the hotel, they asked me "bien dormi ? "and I replied " Oui, merci. "
Petite, j’étais vraiment fun. :))
J’ai appris aujourd’hui, en lisant Point de Vue, qu’on pouvait dire être fun.

Merci.

No, I haven't read it, yet. But it seems something on my taste.

You must have very sweet memories from those times.. And you see ? How small things can make you happy ? Saying " Oui, merci ", just two simple words - made you feel amazing, as if you stepped in another world.

C'est bien que tu lises Point de Vue , parce que ça te familiarise avec des expressions authentiques en français. À-propos, est-ce que je t'ai déjà dit à quel point je suis fier de toi ? Rien n'égale mon plaisir de te voir aussi déterminée....
Entre-temps, les souvenirs se mêlent les uns aux autres..

« “À propos, est-ce que je t’ai déjà dit à quel point je suis fier de toi ? »

Je le sais déjà, mais ça me fait toujours autant plaisir de l’entendre. :)) )
Merci, Théo.

Alors, je le redirai encore un million de fois, plus une fois :))

Merci, Théo.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tu me tueras, un jour..😂😂😂

If you’re dying of laughter, Théo, I’ll only make it worse — I send little ghosts as well. 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Nom de dieu....This is a true conspiracy ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A conspiracy? Time to create ghostly — Albert would approve.
👻😂

If Albert approve, then let's create not only dangerously, but ghostly too ! Meanwhile, I prepare myself for an invasion of ghosts. How ? I will invite them at my table :))😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Oh, you’re in a different time zone. Are you having lunch already? Chez Céleste? What a name for a restaurant.
Better not go to the beach after lunch....Don’t go, or you’ll end up being applauded by a crowd .

Oh, yes, I'm in a different time zone. But one single hour separes our birthdays. Isn't amazing ?

Just lunched at " Céleste ".
Moi et Meursault. I just asked him if it's a good ideea to go on the beach.
He stared at me, couple seconds, and said " Do you enjoy the crowd ? "
So, I postponed it :)))🤣

You’re very thoughtful, Théo.
One thing people born in January — like you and me — have in common is that we’re very thoughtful. 👻

Bom dia, linda ❤️
As crianças e os cães vivem num mundo diferente do nosso! 😉
Beijão do coração, linda Maria
Tem um super dia 😘❤️🎊

Magnifiquement dit , Celeste. Je crois que Milena aurait dit la même chose à Albert, dans leurs innombrables lettres..
Janvier, d'ailleurs, il fait un froid mordant. Et ce froid t'incite à chercher un " clean, well-lighted place", où étendre le tissu de tes pensées....

Merci, Celeste

I guess your little ghost agree, judging by his face :))) 😄

« Je crois que Milena aurait dit la même chose à Albert, dans leurs innombrables lettres..»

Je n’en peux plus de rire à l’idée que quelqu’un ait imaginé que Milena écrivait à Albert.
Tu es vraiment très drôle. :)))

Merci, Théo.

Hahahaha ! Pourquoi pas ?
Alcoforado a écrit :))

Hahahahaha ! Maria, pas Milena...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

C’est vous qui avez écrit à Mariana Alcoforado, Monsieur, tel un fou éperdu d’amour.
:)))

Querida Maria,

Foi uma coincidência giríssima ler este excerto logo depois da tua resenha. Não imaginas o quanto me ri.
Um super dia para ti também. Obrigada por seres sempre tão encantadora.
Beijinhos e flores. 😘🌺🌺

Ah, je me souviens... Quelqu'un devait répondre à Mariana, au bout du compte...Si ce n'était pas moi, alors qui ?? 🤣

Le 👻.

🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Le 👻 s'est étouffé de rire, lui aussi, en entendant de Milena et Albert. Ensuite, Maria et Kafka 👻👻👻👻

Il est urgent que tu écrives une lettre au 👻. Il mérite une bonne réprimande.

J'écrirai. Ça commencera par " Cher fantôme irrésistible, je vous adore ".
👻

Happy reading Maria. ♥

You’re always so lovely, Kealyn. 🌼
Thank you.

Olá, linda 💕
Eu quando li este teu excerto pensei algo do tipo: “Eu e a Maria estamos em sintonia”. Que coincidência, realmente, teres apanhado num livro tão diferente uma referência a uma das minhas mais recentes leituras. Nós, as Marias, somos assim, cheias de coincidências 😉
Beijos mil, querida Maria 😘
Tem uma noite descansada 🪷
