All well here - we had some friends round on Friday for a pizza night and went to Susy & Eduardo's the next evening to see Giovanna off to her seasonal job at DisneyWorld (Gaby was very jealous). Then on Sunday we went to the Pinacoteca to check out some cultcha, including some rather nice art and an orchestra rehearsing in the main hall, which was most agreeable.
I've made another mixtape (and mixtape-wise, this is also good), and my phrase of the week means "having a whip-round" or "chipping in" - it translates literally as "making a little cow". A notable example is at Brazilian weddings, where the couple raises funds for a honeymoon/debt repayment etc, by selling off chopped-up pieces of the groom's tie in exchange for cash from the guests. We personally consider this a little gauche so there'll be no little cows at our wedding...
Speak soon!
