Um cinema. Duas velhinhas.
O que leva duas velhinhas (velhinhas? velhinha és tu, oh pascácio!!!) a irem ao cinema, num dia de semana e à noite?
Ou melhor, o que motiva duas pessoas jovens idosas a falarem durante um filme como se estivessem no sofá a apreciar a telenovela da TVI?
Ah! Que exagero!
Simplesmente atentas ao drama de um filme razoável e, provavelmente, entusiasmadas pelo facto de serem apenas mais duas pessoas numa sala de cinema exígua. Relaxadas. Bonitas. Sinceras.
O resto da plateia, surpreendida e com sorrisos abertos, titubeava a rebeldia de umas velhinhas. Que espanto, hein?
"Que queridas!"
A verdade é que não estamos habituados a que os menos jovens furem os preconceitos.
Surpreendemo-nos, pateticamente!

12 simple things
Copiado à descarada daqui. Podem não ser medidas novas mas é sempre bom refrescar os nossos pensamentos.
1- Turn it off
Turn off lights, televisions, videos, stereos and computers when not in use - they can use 10 to 40% of the power when on standby. Also, unplug chargers as soon as they have finished charging.
2- Be exact
Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need.
3- Close it
Don't leave fridge doors open for longer than necessary.
4- Check your tires
Properly inflated tires can improve your car’s fuel efficiency.
5- Use no plastic
Use cloth bags when going shopping and avoid buying products which use too much plastic.
6- Fan up
Instead of using air conditioners in the summer, wear cool clothes, and use a fan.
7- Drive less
Do your weekly errands in a single trip or pay your bills online. Walk, bike, ride the bus or carpool.
8- Optimize your speed
You will consume up to 25% less fuel if you drive no more than 90 km/hr.
9- Drive hybrid
A hybrid or other fuel-efficient car emits less carbon dioxide.
10- Replace them
Replace your incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). CFLs cost 3 to 5 times as much but use less than a third of the power. Also, replace old fridge and other appliances with energy-efficient ones.
11- Watch what you eat
Choose food produced close to your home.
12- Recycle
Consume less, and re-use old products.
