Did you all have a good day off?
Hello @Kakau and @andfraz and thanks a lot for the nice words 
How are you all? @Avellana, how was your coffee this morning? I read you had one while you were working on a project!
It was very nice to have a day off in the middle of the week, and that all my colleagues were off too, so we didn’t have to give work to another person to cover for us. I visited a friend who has a lovely garden with a pool and we spent the day there 
for me it’s still a bit chilly to get into the water, hopefully it will be warmer in a few weeks’ time!

Good afternoon, Ambra
I’m glad to know you had a good day off your friend’s garden looks lovely. Thank you for sharing a photo!
I am well, how about you? The weather is too hot in Portugal, though. I miss the springtime. 
I am going to start working on a new translation task now. I’m always thrilled to start working on new projects 
Have a great day, Ambra, and welcome back to work!
All the best,
Andreia

Hi @ambra!
It was very good to hear you’ve enjoyed your day off at a very beautyfful place.
I agree about the chilly.
Here in Brazil we’re in a very cold autumn 
and is very hard to me wearing three pairs of socks, pants and at least two shirts only staying at home. I feel much cold 
We’re sill in quarentine in Rio de Janeiro city and the remote work helps a lot other and myself although my dog give me enough work .
Have a nice weekend.
All my best,

That pool looks amazing @ambra its just starting to warm up in England and I swam in the North Sea yesterday, which is notoriously cold, so that pool looks good to me. I forget which country you are in at the moment.
Im glad to hear you had a good day off

Hi, all! Always lovely to hear from you 
you give me the energy to start a new week, more than a cup of coffee (that I actually don’t like much, and my tummy hurts when I drink it 
)
I am based in southern Italy (Sicily) and while the first 3 weeks of May felt like summer, the last week has been cloudy and chilly 
but I know summer will be with us soon again jealous of your hot weather now, @andfraz
Curious to see your dog, @Kakau 
and respect to @Avellana for swimming in the north sea

Hi @ambra! Hi all!!
Here’s my dear Bob. He’s eleven and doesn’t like when I put my headband in his head 
Instead of you I drink a lot of coffee 
and enjoy it. Maybe bcz this cold time, but to tell the truth the time doesn’t matter. I love coffee!! 
Today it’s a beautiful and a little warm day… at least until the sunset

Hi everyone! 
So good to read your kind words, @ambra . 
To tell the truth, I don’t really like coffee too, but I need to drink one or two everyday, in order to feel fully awake. Well, like I’ve mentioned in some threads already, not a coffee really, but a cold galão. (By the way, is this really just a Portuguese thing? I can’t find a translation for this word 
).
In case you need to take a cup of coffee, do try do drink it cold instead. It seems to me that our stomach gets along better with cold food and liquids. If you prefer, add a few ice cubes to your coffee, as well as a bit of milk. It’s a nice drink in summer
Haha. I wish I could trade places with any of you, even if it were only for a day. Cold weather always reminds me of 19th century English novels, 
which I avidly read whenever I have some spare time. Today the weather is very hot and dry here. How I miss the spring! 
What a lovely dog you have, @Kakau. 
Thank you for sharing these photos. Is Bob a good boy?
Have a great day, everyone! 
All the best,
Andreia

Hi all!! 
@andfraz answering your question Bob isn’t a good boy. I need to keeping him in the room when I’m going to receive deliveries, he moves other dogs, barks a lot, pulls me all the time during the walks (I live in apartment and I need to go down with him or keep crazy with his crying) and try to bite anyone who comes close. So the nicknames of bravo, pitbull, jealous and many others.
I sent these pics bcz @ambra wrote she were curious to know him and I’m looks like a mother: ask for it and I wanna to send a hundred of pics. Only his face is sweet but I love this messy one 
I understand ‘barril’ but ‘barrel of’ doesn’t let doubt 
I can’t think how would be ice coffee as a carioca living in Rio de Janeiro but, who knows someday I’ll try to do that haha.
I wish you all a great day!!

In case someone it’s wondering: a year later, we are taking again this last Wednesday of May off, as a whole organization. So no one from our staff should be around tomorrow - please be patient, we will get back to you on Thursday as soon as we can!
