22.06.21 - De boa na lagoa

Hallloooo,

Hope all well witchu, and your Fete de la Musique gig went well - send footage! Over here we have dealt with most of the more pressing issues and are slowly getting the hang of country life, a failed and humiliating attempt at putting up shelves notwithstanding. 

On Saturday we went to see Adny & Ridaut's new gaff in Indaiatuba before wandering around the park and the ice cream & açaí neighbourhood, and on Sunday we took the BBQ out for a test drive, which was a total success after a nervy first few minutes flapping pieces of cardboard at a dying flame. We've also let the cats outside a few times, which means they now spend every other waking hour of the day clamouring to be let out again.

Elsewhere I've made a new comp, and the cat is out of the bag - I've started a new Instagram account for my Brazilian fans, documenting life here as a gringo. So far my research has been a goldmine for new and amusing Brazilian phrases, such as "de boa na lagoa" - i.e. "all good on a lake", which is just as chilled and easy-going as it sounds.

Speak soon!
