We're settled in here and taking it pretty bloody easy after our European excursions. We met up with Bruna and Andrew for a spirited karaoke session and a catch-up, then went to see "The Last Jedi" again on Saturday (Gaby's main takeaway was that the "gold English robot" reminded her of me, which was a dagger through the heart...), and yesterday we went on a mad redecorating spree, but otherwise we've been flopping about, stocking up on supplies and catching up on TV, washing and sleep.
To that end, today's phrase ("splattered cats") is the Brazilian equivalent of "dead bumblebees", a way of describing, say, a subpar turnout at a party or a lackluster crowd at a TED talk. Quite evocative, I thought. I have also made not one but two compilations to ring in the New Year, so have fun with those. Looking forward to hearing about the Icelandic pixies over Skype.
Ciao for now,
Presuming Fred
