‘She is entirely lucid. She blows your mind with her stories from the revolution.She was always a woman who fought. She was still sewing and weaving until about two years ago. She never ceased to be active, that's why we think she's lived so long.’she sometimes sleeps for three days on end, but when she's awake likes to eat, talk and sing lullabies.She's always had a good tooth, even at her old age. She has no diabetes or hypertension so can eat as many chocolates and sweets as she likes.
