14.07.22 - Com o rei na barriga

Hallooooo,

Hope all well witchu! 

We're in the midst of another cold snap here, and busy overseeing the end phase of the building work back in town. On Thursday I drove into the Sherlock office for some light admin and typical Festa Junina jollity in the evening, most of which went right over my head but was rather fun nonetheless. And the weekend was spent mostly napping and barbequing burgers.

Elsewhere I've made another compilation, and my phrase of the week concerns people "com rei na barriga" ("with the king in their belly"), i.e. with a disproportionate sense of self-importance - a throwback to the days of the Portuguese monarchy when having the literal (future) king in your belly got you preferential treatment from the royal court, and disdain from the commoners.

In other news, I have put together a Parada Inglesa radio show for an online station which was recently launched by a music forum I sometimes frequent, and it airs later today at this link, so listen in from 6pm UK time and let me know what you think!

Ciao for now,

FredEx
