Not quite of Biblical proportions, but a disaster nevertheless.
Saturday has arrived, that universal day off that one normally devotes to the important things in life like… beer.
I toyed with the idea of going to a BBQ restaurant, but I had steak in the fridge, has to be used, so I put the restaurant idea on hold.
Marinated the steak (3 pieces of rump), heated my cast iron hot plate and dropped on a slab of meat. Couldn’t justify the BBQ in the yard, the weather is too hot, and too little steak. The meat sizzled, the smell of the garlic marinade wafted through the house and eventually I enjoyed the steak.
It was then I discovered that the botequim was closed. My plans to culminate my lunch by washing it down with a well chilled beer were thrown awry.
Because I didn’t have any beer in the fridge, I am left with sparkling mineral water…
Hardly a fitting substitute, especially for a Saturday.
Saw this the other day and thought, yes, that’s me…
“In some ways I’m just like a dog…. I can’t be trusted around unsupervised food.”
It’s time for a nap.
Later.
Life is but a Labyrinth 
I was in Brazil this time last year and the weather was definitely too hot then as well. Steak and sparkling mineral water… I feel your pain man.

>Sean, this summer beats last. We are into our ninth week of 40+ degrees, the forecast predicted until the 15th. I have beer in the fridge, and it’s almost drinkable now. 🙂

More importantly why was the bar closed? In Wales the pubs used to close on Sundays but no longer. Now if you ask what time they close they will probably say October. I would have thought Brazil would be even more liberal. Is it to do with the world cup?

>Andrew, I was worried, but the case was solved this morning (Today’s post). Raimundo merely took the weekend off to play football. In the five years I have been here, he has previously only had two days off. He deserved it.
