Good to Zoom t'other day. As I mentioned lockdown has been relaxed here, less due to scientific consensus and more to people not really being arsed with it anymore. When we ventured out on to the high street on Saturday people were wearing PPE, queuing properly etc. Still a bit mad considering the national death toll is still growing steadily, but I was pleasantly surprised by how cautious everyone seemingly is.
Otherwise we've been shielding ourselves from the increasingly large and erratic Berry (whose new hobbies include pulling clothes off the drying rack, and climbing up our trousers), and making restaurant-grade meals with our new air-fryer, including a Valentine's Day feast of steak, bubbly and chocolate mousse courtesy of Gaby.
I've made a new, globetrotting mixtape and my phrase of the day comes from our local butchers, who are now selling "bife do vazio". "Vazio" is apparently the name of a cut of meat, but it literally translates as "beef from the void", which is certainly an arresting prospect.
Speak soon!
