They’re so cute! Did you know that when the leaf on an orange tree has that little extra segment attaching it to the branch that means it’s a bitter orange tree? Sweet orange tree leaves are just in one piece. 🍊🧡

This is the third time I’ve bought these exact same Skechers “go walk” sandals. I think in general they last me two “sandal seasons” (which here is from March-October) so I get a lot of wear outta them. Anyhow, I was looking around for a new comfy pair as my old Skechers are looking not quite good enough to wear on tapas tours anymore and I finally decided, what the heck, I’d just get these again because they are super comfortable (and machine washable!). And as a bonus, when I picked them up on my way home today, I was told they were 20% off this week. Yay. At this point it looks like I’m going to end up wearing the same Skecher sandals and Camper shoes for the rest of my life.

Hey look, this silly old blog is still going! As I always say, I couldn’t be doing this without you, so really this is all your fault. I’ve met some wonderful people here and there are also a lot of subscribers I don’t know (or know why they are following the world’s most boring blog!). Since my cancer days I’m still managing to put up a post a day, simply because if I stopped for a while then I’d feel like the next post would have to be about something important or even of interest. Also, my online Casa serves as a back-up memory so I can check back to when this or that happened.
Anyhow, thanks for sticking around
(and welcome to any new visitors!).

Gotta admit I’ve been pretty lax about using proper sun protection so the other day I dug out some Nivea spray stuff (originally bought for Peter’s head) from the back of the bathroom cupboard and gave it a try. And uffff… way too strong a smell for me to have anywhere near my nose (Peter doesn’t notice it). I started looking around for another brand and was immediately overwhelmed by choice, so it was Twitter to the rescue. This came up a couple of times when I asked for some advice and it sounded like just what I was looking for… then I had to either find it here or order it online. Turns out my favourite neighbourhood pharmacy stocks it, and so now I’m all set for the longer summer days. What sun protection do you use?

Another fabulous Twitter Pal meet up, this time with Fred & Susan. I’ve known Fred on Twitter for ages (Susan is more of an Instagram lurker) and we have a lot of the same London Twitter friends in common, so it was great to finally get together for an afternoon of tapas, wine and chat. And omg what a wonderful day it was. We started off at Zurbarán and finished at Salmedina with a seafood feast, though of course not properly finishing without a cava penúltima at nearby Catalina La Barra. Thanks for a delicious day guys, come back soon!
