Last night we went for a Christmas Eve knees-up at Bill and Patricia's building in São Caetano, with their sizeable extended family and all sorts of Christmas eats and song. We made a load of pavê from scratch the night before, which is essentially Brazilian trifle, and it went down a treat. Today we had Gaby's parents and grandparents round for a makeshift Xmas feast, Fantasia and Wallace & Gromit on the big screen.
Prior to that we'd knocked off after a particularly hectic week at work, I jumped in the pool, and on Saturday we went to meet some potential wedding bar suppliers, and signed on the dotted line having been plied with more drinks than we knew what to do with (don't worry though, we didn't regret it once we'd sobered up, the drinks really were very nice and fairly reasonably-priced). So that's one of the perks of planning a wedding, I suppose.
This week we're off to Ilhabela for our customary end-of-year spell of flopping about, which should be nice. Will let you know how we get on. And I've made a compilation including some spare Xmas songs I had lying around from last week (but which is otherwise quite loud and angsty).
Love,
Good King Fredceslas
