Hallooooo,
Hope all well. It's been a busy week here, mostly spent getting Gabi's office into working condition with plenty of painting, plumbing and rewiring, wrangling of tradesmen and frantic trips to Leroy Merlin.
In between all that we got out on Wednesday to visit the rather splendid Sala São Paulo for some cut-price ballet, the Museum of the Portuguese Language (whose previous claim to fame was burning to the ground in 2015, but is looking good these days) and Luz station, famously modeled on St. Pancras.
On Thursday I rocked up to the Sherlock Halloween party as a man being abducted in a box, but arrived too late to make a dent in the voting and had to make do with some spooky cupcakes. And on Sunday we went to see the Smashing Pumpkins ("I love doing that!") who put on a good show despite some baffling setlist choices.
In other news, I've made another compilation, and my phrase of the week means "to sneak out without anyone noticing". Another way of putting it is "saída a francesa", which confusingly translates to "Irish exit" in English.
And that's about it for now - speak soon!
