18.01.22 - Assobiar e chupar cana ao mesmo tempo

Hallooooo,

Hope all well! I ventured into the big city last week for the annual Sherlock get-together, worked in the new office for a few days, swanned around Vila Madalena and got to know a lot of people I hadn't met in person until now, which was a nice change of pace. I had to brush off my Spanish to chat with the Latin American contingent, and ended up giving an on-camera interview for an awards jury (which will probably end up on the cutting room floor, but still).

On Friday we had our belated "Christmas party" which was most fun and featured a short set by myself and a guy called Mauricio, who had rented out a full PA as well as a studio to rehearse in the night before. At which point Gaby showed up, also in town for some in-person sessions, and we headed back the next day having run some errands in town.

And on Sunday we went to a cool deck bar in Indaiatuba, which was BBQ-centric but also catered to our newfound veggie leanings, with a copious salad buffet and triple-lemon caipirinhas - a cool new find! No compilation this week due to my to-ings and fro-ings, but the phrase of the week - "to whistle and suck sugar cane at the same time" - is roughly equivalent to "have your cake and eat it too".

Speak soon!
