Hope all well!
We're in the final stretch of Operation Move Into a House That's Still Being Built, which looks like it'll go right down to the wire, and began the downsizing process at the weekend by announcing we were giving away and selling a bunch of stuff (inflatable pool, etc). Said stuff was picked off almost immediately by various neighbours so that was a productive few days, and I'm more confident we'll get everything to fit into a tiny São Paulo flat now.
No compilation this week, as we move into the fallow part of the musical calendar year, but my phrase of the day comes from an amusing bit of online tomfoolery which only really makes sense in Brazil.
"URSAL" is the "
União das Republiquetas socialistas da América Latina", a socialist utopia which was made up for a laugh by an academic in 2001, quoted as a genuine conspiracy theory in a 2018 presidential debate (leading to endless memes based around a big bear / "ursão" mascot), and is now one step closer to reality following the Colombian election on Sunday.
That's all for noo - speak soon!
