A Girl In Ipanema

Last morning in Rio before heading out this afternoon to home and Dd! It was a round of packing, buying some houseware for the studio, visiting our power of attorney and the bank but, unfortunately, not being able to have coffee at the hospital with Briocarioca as doctors' rounds got in the way. We very much look forward to returning together around Christmas and being able to toast the NewYear with a revitalised HH!

It will be back to the studio in an hour to meet our driver for the journey out to the international airport. He needs a talking to about reliability and I wish Dd was here to do it! This is also the moment when we usually postpone our return home by a week or so but I think you'll agree that would be putting my head on a plate!

See you tomorrow, Dd!
