08.06.21 - O que o cu tem a ver com as calças?

Halloooo,

Hope all well witchu! We've spent a whole week moving into our five three-bedroom bastard house in Indaiatuba, and while we are still waist-deep in boxes, it's starting to take shape and we're very happy, excited and suddenly stress-free. 

On Tuesday we drove up to let some men in overalls install our internet, then back to São Paulo to oversee a small army of movers over a four-day period (taking advantage of the national holiday on Thursday to head back to the house and give it a thorough scrubbing). 

Having spent Friday night in furniture-less, fridge-less limbo, everything arrived by lorry on Saturday morning, and we've been unpacking and breaking down cardboard boxes ever since, with a valuable assist from Gabi's uncle on power tools and plumbing.

On Sunday evening we drove into town and stocked up on supplies, so the plan for this week is to knuckle down, put everything in its right place, figure out how waste disposal works, juggle our work commitments, launch an Instagram account, learn to garden, and if there's any spare time, make plans for a tea room in town. 

I've made a new compilation, and my phrase of the day is a particular favourite of mine - when someone compares two seemingly unrelated things with no further explanation, the standard response is "O que o cu tem a ver com as calças?", or "What does the arse have to do with the trousers?" Finally, if you have a spare half hour, I recommend this muso-ey video about "The Girl From Ipanema", which has been stuck in my head all week.

Will send pics soon! Ciao for now,
