Postcard from Brazil - not!

The lovely Jayne remains snowed in at The Abstaining Austrian instead of winging her way to Brazil as planned. Being the ever practical one she's made this week's card  from a folded page of the local tour guide
 It reads:
Gloria I'm still here!!
 more snow this weekend
 I should be in sunny Brazil, soon I hope Jx 
Mr Macaw is squalking
 where's Jayne?
where's Jayne?
 AND the French men's ski team has just arrived in the hotel oooo la la...
which when combined with last week's 'chocolatey goodness' it can only mean trouble
oh deary me yes...

aww a shame she didn't make it, but having the mens ski team arrive most certainly makes up for it lol

And isn't it so that a true Winter has lots of snow so you have a good excuse to snuggle up? What's there to do in the hot Brazil? :)
You did great this week, so original!

What a shame, stuck in the Austrian snow. Wonder if we'll see you in our next country or will you be busy with the male ski team? Great PC cover. Caz
