Trilbys and violin cases

Our Brazilian lodger had a very loud response to yesterday’s post. He claims that this small town (which will remain nameless) must be “washing money”. How else, he cried, could they possibly be staying in business? There must be some shady underworld dealings behind so many food stores and restaurants.

That such a sleepy suburb by the sea should be a mafia stronghold had me hooting with laughter.
I’ll be watching out for overweight gents getting out of limos, smoking Cuban cigars and draped with blonde arm candy.
