13.04.21 - Viajar na maionese

Halloooo,

Hope all well and you've had yer jabs, etc. Looks like we'll be the absolute last country out of lockdown at this rate, but it could be worse, etc. We've been remotely house-hunting and may be off to Ilhabela next week to visit some places in person - watch this space.

A little bit of drama as well: we spent the weekend by the pool, making the most of the tail-end of summer, and had just left when the gym being built next door basically collapsed - the beam holding up the second story buckled and the entire floor fell down. Luckily it was Sunday, i.e. the one day when it's not crawling with people, but we soon had a swarm of firefighters and surveyors picking over the rubble. Pretty scary stuff, but more importantly we're not sure whether this = less noise for a while, or = much more noise for much longer than expected. 

I've made another mixtape, and my phrase of the day ("to travel in mayonnaise") is applied to people who are either talking a load of rubbish, or aren't paying attention to the matter at hand, which I thought was quite evocative. By the way, not that it makes the saying any more coherent, but over here "maionese" is not only a condiment but also a whole dish (albeit one made mostly of, well, mayonnaise). 

And that's a wrap!
