According to HERE, the last time I bought new towels was in July 2016 (!!!) which will explain why my present towels are like thin loofahs at this point. So I took advantage of the summer sales and found these fluffy guys at 50% off. They are up drying on the roof as we speak. Can’t wait for my next shower. How often do you replace towels and sheets?

Look what I got! I used to use Brita back in Toronto but later just kind of forgot about filtering water at home… until this week. It might just be me but lately the tap water has developed a very strong chlorine smell (and taste) which isn’t so noticeable with coffee or cooking, but it’s not great for drinking. So I checked out filters on line and decided to go with good ol’ Brita (plus this model was on sale at El Corte Inglés). A friend had also recommended Zero Water, but that’s only available on line and I prefer being able to purchase replacement filters just around the corner from my house. So I’ve just finished setting it up and I am looking forward to nice filtered lemon water in the morning.

I may be in the minority here, but I really don’t like baths. In fact, I remember my last bath clearly, almost seven years ago in November 2014 when I stayed at the fabulous Parador Hotel in Cádiz. And the only reason I took a bath there (normally hotel bathtubs are to be avoided like the plague) was because the damn thing was massive, made of stone (or marble?) and about 8 metres long. And so I filled it up using the lovely bath products provided… and lasted about ten minutes. I mean… meh. The idea of sitting around making “body soup” has never appealed and I don’t find it particularly relaxing. I guess I just get bored? Anyhow, how about you?
The other more practical matter is, as the years go by and if you never take baths, having to climb in and out of a slippery tub to take a shower is fraught with peril. Hence I totally love my big walk-in rain shower 💦🚿

I think I’ll join Morcilla in just looking at the outside from inside today.

Luna on her tattered throne. As you can see I still haven’t taken the old shredded cat stand down to the rubbish bins and I think Luna actually prefers this one. Someone suggested that she thinks of it as a personal accomplishment and I reckon there is something to that. She’s been making some headway on the new one, but this is the one she always goes back to.
