16.02.21 - 对牛弹琴

Hallloooooo,

Thanks for tuning in yesterday, link to mum's birthday tune to follow. Hope you had a whizzy jolly day! Over here we're hard at work down the content mines, pulling an all-dayer on Saturday to record a fair chunk of Gaby's course which I am now in the process of whittling down and applying bells and whistles to, and which is due to launch on March 1st, weather permitting. We also went out for a stroll around Vila Madalena on Sunday, armed with our 2-for-1 discount book, after I got outrageously sunburnt in the pool.

Elsewhere I've made another mixtape, and my phrase of the day comes from China: "对牛弹琴", which means "playing the lute to a cow", i.e. "talking to a brick wall". Palmeiras' clown-car World Club Cup campaign wrapped up with an ignominious loss in the third-place play-off (bearing in mind that they would have finished in fourth place if they hadn't travelled to Qatar at all). And I've been enjoying http://radio.garden/, which is basically Google Earth that tunes into radio stations from around the world.

Ciao for now!
