04.05.21 - Lagarta-de-fogo

Halloooo,

Hope all good witchu! As you know I turned 34 on Thursday in fairly understated fashion, with a full day's work followed by wine, cake and esfihas (not in that order), and also got not one but three separate gifts from work, including iFood vouchers and a fancy pillow, which is laying it on a bit thick if you ask me.

We've been turning up the heat on the old house-hunting lark, and saw a few stopgap options which were actually not terrible last week and yesterday afternoon, which gives me hope. We're also toying with moving out of town for the space, and to save money, so will probably go and visit places like Indaiatuba and Atibaia at the weekend.

Elsewhere I've made another compilation, and my phrase of the day goes out to all the hairy caterpillars we saw on our long-delayed return to the Horto Florestal on Sunday (the last time we went was with you!). Their gimmick is to fall out of trees and burn you with their acid-tipped hair, hence the nickname "lagarta-de-fogo" or "fire caterpillar" - one of many fun names for them, apparently. The ones we saw looked peaceful enough though, getting ready to turn into moths, etc.

That's all for now, speak soon!

May the Fredth be With You
