Hope all well 'n good with you. A low-key few days here, after the utilities-based trauma of last week - we had our lawyer friends Dany and Andre round on Friday night, partly to go through our damages suit against Eletropaulo together but mainly just to let off steam and eat pizza.
On Saturday we went to Vila Mariana for one of Gaby's friends' birthday, and allegedly the best coxinhas (a creamy chicken snack and something of a national treasure, rightly so) in town; then on Sunday I went for a solo drive and wander round rainy Vila Madalena, past the lurid graffiti of Batman Alley and on to the Coffee Lab, which serves a lovely brew among all the superfluous test tubes and Bunsen burners. Probably my favourite part of town so far...
Elsewhere we tried getting the three cats together at the weekend, but Valente went medieval on their asses so they're being kept apart until further notice; I've made another, rather far-out mixtape; I can heartily recommend this documentary about an ancient Japanese sushi master (and Herzog's "Cave of Forgotten Dreams", for his soothing voiceover if nothing else); and finally, after football on Thursday I was presented with a rabo de galo, a cocktail made up of equal parts cachaça and Cinzano, which was rather nice (and which translates as "cock's tail").
Até logo, Botafogo,
Fred
