- Here Comes That Weird Chill 1 week ago Only someone from the UK would move to Brazil, start a blog and then write their first post about the weather. Only someone from the UK would bother to write a sequel. And this, I guess, doesn’t do much to challenge the depiction of us Brits as a bunch of grumps, whose approach to...
