Saw this at El Corte Inglés this past weekend. Waaaay too early guys – it’s not even November yet. Granted, it was just this one display sponsored by a particular brand, but still…

seasons, sevilla, weather

Forget global warming! Sevilla is undergoing The Great Polar Freeze, which basically happened overnight. One day I was happily wearing my sandals (with a light jacket in the evening) and SUDDENLY it was so cold, well, THIS happened.

Checking back this is a full TWO WEEKS earlier than in 2017, ten days earlier than in 2016, and in 2015 it didn’t happen until bloody November 18th! I’m so sad about this. Especially because it was no fun stuffing my still bruised and swollen sprained toes into a pair of shoes last night. But the only other option would’ve been wearing tights with sandals, and well, no.

even the construction sites are beautiful!

I live in a city where even the constructions sites are beautiful! That is the spectacular landmark Edificio La Adriática front and centre. To the right is going to be a new hotel, the scaffolding covered with screens of paintings by Murillo. Gotta love it.

bars, sevilla, tapas, tapas bars

A positive outcome of yesterday’s duvet disaster was that I revisited a very unique bar that, although in my neighbourhood, I’d only been to once before. I mean, it’s tiny, and so I always supposed it was just a place for a quick beer. Which was why I was there this time, while waiting for my duvet to finish washing at the laundrette just up the street. But then I saw they did a lot of fresh fish tapas, as well as some traditional stews and other meat dishes. We opted for a dish of chicharrones to go with the beer, but I will definitely be back.

I have been Twitter pals with @GreatOil (Callum & Anne-Marie) for many years and so it was great to finally meet up in person. We went for lunch at La Azotea and I was given a bottle of their premium evoo, which we sampled with some lovely sourdough bread. It’s unfiltered evoo (40% Picudo 60% Hojiblanca) and has quite a nice peppery kick to it. Very nice.

Lunch was great too!
