santa marta (1)

Hearing about this made me feel sick and sad and, yes, fucking angry. A week or so ago a 16th century sculpture in a tiny hidden away square next to the Cathedral was brutally vandalised. After existing in this tiny spot for centuries some fucking asshole (or assholes) thought this was the thing to do. Now… not placing blame on the recent influx of less than desirable tourists in our fair city, or the hoards or football fans from abroad who were in town for two big matches that weekend… but it’s also hard not to.

Meanwhile, this was lovely. Someone put up a floral cross as a memorial while the original one is being restored. That’s the real Sevilla.

long time gone, sunday song

Growing up (as a child) I always thought Tom Jones was a bit of a square, kinda corny… turns out he was/is cool AF and omg that voice.

ali kaye

I’ve known Ali & Kaye on Twitter for ages (and they have been real life best friends since 2011, though they live on opposite sides of the Iberian peninsula) so it was great to finally meet them both in person and take them out on a tapas tour. As they have both been to Sevilla before we decided to eat our way around Triana and it was a fabulous afternoon. Honestly these two are like a comedy team, funny AF and constantly playing off each other, and hey, they thought I was funny too! Always makes a nice change when people think I’m funny and not a cranky old cynic who hates everything and everyone (who me? 😇).

We even went into “overtime” going for a penúlitma after the tour was over and, since I was off the clock, so to speak, I finally felt able to swear properly again. Heck, by our final tapas tour stop we were already sharing pet photos and comparing scars à la Jaws (don’t ask, but I won!). I would have loved to spend more time with these two lovelies, so hopefully that will happen again before too long. Whenever people dis Twitter I always have many happy-making stories like this to counter all those cranky old cynics. 🙂
