Fitchie Bitchie

Bb's Fitchie Bitchie stopped charging a couple of days ago and ended with no life in it whatsoever. We made a few enquiries in shops round the block to see if we could buy one locally, but no luck.  We decided to go to Rio Sul shopping centre, thinking that a shop there must stock one - it's a huge shopping centre of five floors. Up and down the escalators, sent here there and everywhere. No luck! Bb then looked online and thought he was doing well till he realised said Fitchie Bitchie was being sent from The States!  We gave up, came back to Copacabana and had feijoada (although it's Monday and not Saturday) at Bar 420, then a walk along the front in the early evening sun. On the way home, up Rua Santa Clara, we went into one of these little electronic arcades and bought a cheap-as-chips alternative Fitchie Bitchie that he can at least use while here. He'll just have to lose the data on the app for this month. He's now trying to get the new one charged up and I can hear him muttering, dropping bits and losing patience! 

What's a Fitchie Bitchie? It's a Fitbit, the way it's said with a Brazilian Portuguese accent!

Nice to have a catch up with Ann and Alistair this morning from Scotland on Zoom.
