25 de maio e eu estou no parque da minha cidade.

Aliás, aqui sempre calor e nunca . tempo que eu não venho ao parque.

Esse parque perto da minha casa é muito tranquilo. Hoje, por exemplo, poucas pessoas.

Por coincidência, eu encontrei a Isabela, que estava passeando com o cachorro. Eu não a via uns 2 anos.

bom ter conversado com ela. Combinamos de sair na próxima semana. Afinal, não para ficar tanto tempo sem ver os amigos.
