05.12.17 - Fazer fusquinha


Week 2 on the Côte, and we are constantly on the move or making tea to keep warm...  We've been round the Cap to Juan-les-Pins, stopping off at a Christmas market in someone's front garden, and hosted an art exhibition in the flat as part of Premiers Vendredis, which was a roaring success despite the downpour that accompanied it.

Yesterday I went to check out an open mic night down the road and ended up playing drums in a makeshift jazz combo, before making way for the pros with their saxophones and French horns, which was rather fun.   And I'm currently in Monaco, having a wander while dad does some work down by the stadium. It's alright...

Today's phrase, "fazer fusquinha", means to show off in a needlessly ostentatious way - "fusquinha" is also the Brazilian term of affection for the VW Beetle, although I don't think the two are related.  And on that bombshell,

Ciao for now,
Fred
