18.05.21 - Quem não arrisca não petisca

Halloooo,

Hope all well and there is light at the end of the lockdown tunnel, etc. Over here we've just signed the contract for our new three-bedroom bastard house in the country and are making plans to move at the end of the month, which is rather exciting. 

A bit daunting too, given the distances and expenses involved, but as they say here, "quem não arrisca não petisca", i.e. "nothing ventured nothing gained", or to translate literally: "he who doesn't take a risk doesn't snack" (it's one of those sayings which probably only caught on because it rhymes).

Elsewhere I have made another mixtape, and am greatly enjoying my birthday present, "The [Prince & the Pauper & the] Porpoise". We had both sets of grandparents round on Sunday for a slap-up meal, and are otherwise engaged in the minutiae of moving house which should keep us busy for a while yet.

Speak soon!
