Yesterday a day late!
Still no new jam!
I’m only going to do a little review of our work as Issy is writing up today’s blog at the same time and not too much has changed!
We started on a massive rubber and bronze sculpture by””Tenor, Sentimental, Album, Gala e Fatal” Frida Baranek. We have to clean it before it goes on display in Rio!
I carried out the larger fills on my painting using Modostuc. I will write more about the fills on Monday but leave you with a little picture of my painting at the end of the day!
Issy stuck her hand on using Araldite. She also applied a new layer of Agar to try and remove the remaining stains of the mould. I have no pictures of these incidents so you will have to wait until her post in about five minutes! I do however have photos of her with her first Brazilian Sim card!
After work Priscila and Ana very kindly treated us to a night out at Veloso’s! A very popular bar famous for its Coxinhas (like fried chicken croquettes) and Capirinhas (Brazilian fruity cocktails that are usually made with the Brazilian spirit, Cachaca). Issy loved the Coxinhas and shared two plates with Ana and Priscila! Ana order me some Mandioca Fritas instead, which are chips made from a Brazilian root vegetable! They were lovely and dead filling!
We had some crazy cocktail combinations! Starfruit and Basil, Tangerine and Pimento, Caju, Three Citruses, Pomegranate and Lime, Jabuticaba and Mixed Berries…. Mmmm! England needs to up its cocktail game!
We had a nice Pinacoteca gossip! Everybody at work has been so lovely and welcoming! Priscila and Ana took us out for drinks, Teodora has invited us to the beach, Valeria has invited us to stay at her house, Manuel has invited us out for dinner and Diego is taking us dancing on Saturday! The none conservation staff have all started talking to us more! Its great meeting people here!
