So, remember chef John? Well, I introduced him to Ricardo & Javi at T by ConTenedor and it looks like they are going to be a good match. This evening John presented a five-course tasting menu for the four of us and it was spectacular. Works so well in the equally spectacular space too. If you live in Sevilla look for upcoming tasting menu pop-ups by John on his @gitana.tapas and T’s @T_espacio_gastronomico Instagram accounts.

So I had my CT scan today at 5 pm, which is a bit of an awkward hour because I always like to “treat” myself after a hospital ordeal, either going out for a tapita or a cold beer. But as I was in and out in fifteen minutes that meant that all the bars (or ones that I would want to go to) were closed.

So I walked home to get my steps in, taking photos along the way to send my friend Julie @woollygee, who was virtually walking home with me via Whatsapp. Anyhow, this photo op caught my eye because of the colourful flowers. I guess despite the pandemic city workers are still keeping Sevilla beautiful. Should have scan results late next week.

Somebody on Twitter mentioned the TV series by the same name the other day (there are two seasons so far) and so I decided to look it up. What I found instead was the original film made in 2014 and OMG it is a tonic, just what I needed. It’s a “mockumentary” about four vampires sharing a house in New Zealand and I can’t even begin to tell you how funny it is. Apparently it’s only on Movistar until the end of the month so will have to rewatch again before that. Hard to imagine how the TV series will match up, but if I can find it I’ll certainly give it a go.
