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.

Over the years I’ve met many lovely people via Twitter and several I’ve even had the pleasure of meeting in person. Well this is my first Bluesky connection! I came across Paul @macrambles.bsky.social there a few weeks ago noticed his interest in local live music. So after I started up Bitesize Sevilla I got in touch to see if he wanted to write a guest post on the jazz scene in Sevilla and he was happy to contribute. Then on Sunday we met up for lunch with his wife Marj and Peter at ConTenedor (one of venues in his article) and we all had a lovely time.

It’s a great article, please go have a look and give it a “like”. Also sign up for a free subscription if you haven’t already, it all helps me with getting more visibility on the site. Look for other guest articles soon talking about travel, hotels, art, lifestyle and more.
