Reunited

Works by this graffiti artists pop up all over Rio – or at least, all over the South Zone. They all tell a story, the main characters being the little man in the shorts, his lost love, Ana, and his dog – also lost in some of them. This is a new one, and it looks as if he and Ana are reunited, as she’s on the boat with him.
 
Had to get up the hill in time to deliver the missing documents and complete the MOT on the car (one wasn’t missing at all, the officials just hadn’t looked properly). It was raining so hard, and even the BBC had forecast such awful weather, that we wouldn’t have gone if it weren’t for the MOT, but we made it safely up the hill and handed in the docs. There was only one other person waiting and he received his documents almost immediately, so I thought it would be quick. Huh! First the girl came back and claimed I hadn’t paid the transfer fee (wrong again). Then I waited for so long that I thought they must be having a go-slow (there had been rumours of a strike).  When I was about ready to explode, the girl finally came back and handed over the certificate. Such a farce, the whole process.
 
We had stopped for a sausage sandwich on the way up, at a really basic place by a gas station, but the people were really nice and the sandwich was good, so we may stop there again. They also had some roasted chickens sitting there, so we bought one and had it for supper, with our two veg. Beats cooking a whole dinner by a long way.
