Bank Holiday Break

[dotinthesky]

Calm before the storm?

It’s a bank holiday weekend in Brazil: 7th of September is celebrated as our country’s Independence Day. Ironically, our extreme-right wing President has planned demonstrations across the country and some commentators predict he will try to use the date to install himself as a dictator.

What can I do in my pousada in the middle of the mountains? Nothing much except attend to the two couples staying with us and then rest in my hammock, with a podcast or a book, when I have a chance.

May there be no violence this 7th of September... it also happens to be the birthdate of my deceased brother Nicholas. 🕊🙏🏼

FFS that guy. How popular is he now anyway? He must have slid a bit.

He has slid a lot - he’s down to 10% some estimate, but for a country of Brazil’s size it’s still millions - and they are armed and ready to follow his words. I’m hoping it’s just media hyperbole and nothing much will happen on Tuesday 🤞🏻🤞🏻
