Halloooo,
Hope all well! Plenty of work to get through here, as well as the usual hand-wringing about the future, endless rain, and trying to renovate and sell Ridaut & Adny's flat from afar. The good news is we seem to have finally tamed the cat and confined her to the back garden, thanks to a strategically-placed wire mesh, but who knows what her next move will be.
On Saturday we went to Atibaia for the wedding of a college friend of Gabi's (who I had previously met in Newmarket, near where they live - small world!), set in an old train station full of old-timey carriages. One of them still worked, and drove the bride about 20 metres along the track so she could walk down the aisle. As a train fanatic I was very impressed, plus it was nice to be in party mode again, at the first wedding we've been to since our own one in 2019.
The next day we were up early to head to São Paulo and Ibirapuera Park, where Gabi gave a short talk about mindfulness as part of a general health drive by her dentist friend - again, nice to see people in real life and in a real park, plus we got some free guided meditation, fruit salad and pot plants. We then met up with some other friends for a pizza and a stroll around fashionable Pinheiros, which has us pining for a move back to the big city - although let's see how long that lasts - before heading back.
I've also made another compilation, and my phrase of the day ("você que sabe", or "you know best") is usually used as a pithy abdication of responsibility, which I sense will be used a lot as the building work gets underway...
Speak soon!
