What an absolute delight this is! Someone had mentioned it on Bluesky the other day and I wasn’t sure because it’s not really my favourite genre, but turns out it so smart, funny, suspenseful and clever that it’s completely won me over. And what a cast. On Netflix. Still have a couple of eps to go so no spoilers please!

Whenever I’m asked what my favourite tapas bar is (and I get asked that a LOT) or even my top five, I can never answer. Likewise with my favourite song or movie. You know, it always depends. My mood, the weather… lots of variables to consider. But if anyone ever asks me what my favourite TV series of all time is I do not hesitate… it’s The Wire. It just is. Nothing else even comes close. I have followed its creator and writer David Simon on social media for years, first on Twitter and now on Bluesky, and this past weekend THIS happened. Stay tuned…

The Bluesky Harvest thingy goes through all your posts for the year and shows you, well, these recaps. This one is for my Sevilla Tapas account (the Azahar account I mostly use when I’m feeling cranky or need a rant, and also to post my wordle scores). I have to say the Most Used Words one seems to be mostly based on hashtags, so not really MY words. But whatever, just a bit of fun.

The new photo viewing client for Bluesky is now available in the Apple app store. I was really looking forward to this as I would actually like to drop all my META accounts, like I did with Twitter in January. But so far Flashes just looks like a copy of all images posted to Bluesky (whereas instagram is selective). Also, for now it’s not available on desktop. Anyhow, we’ll see how it goes.

It’s actually been a while since Paul was here… last August! Usually he doesn’t leave it so long between visits, but you know, life stuff and this and that. Anyhow, he’s here now for almost ten days and yesterday we met up for lunch and – also due to this and that – our Plan A turned into Plan B and then finally Plan C (technically D as we were going to C when I spotted La Casa del Tigre and I remembered they have a new tasting menu). And so we popped our heads in and they had a free table and that’s what we did. Well, we weren’t sure at first if we would do the tasting menu but then went for it and it ended up being quite fabulous (will update the website soon). Lots of wine, chat, catching up, the usual. It’s gonna be a fun week.
