Today for the first time I walked into a neighbourhood bakery that opened last April.
Bought these. I am doomed.

I was absolutely thrilled and honoured when Mr David Whitley – AKA Grumpy Traveller – asked to interview me – AKA Sevilla Tapas – for the new Expert Tips section on his website.
I have followed David on Twitter for ages now, and love his no-nonsense and very honest approach to travel writing. If more people had the same low bullshit threshhold as David the world would be, well, a much less bullshitty and interesting place.
So check out David’s site if you are looking for the real deal when it comes to travel writing. And also check out my interview!

Looks like I’ll be saying adiós to my sandals this week. Not so much because of the temperatures but, together with more rain, my feet are going to need a bit more protection from the elements. Dammit.
This is always kind of a melancholy time of year for me. The clocks have gone back, it’s only 7 pm here but now dark as night. Luckily it’s still warmish – about 18 degrees – so we will probably be able to comfortably sit outside during the first stop of my Sevilla Tapas Tour tonight.
The electric fans went into storage today and the winter duvets have been picked up from the cleaners, but still too soon to take out the space heaters.
How’s the weather where you are? I know that Sledpress is about to experience some Serious Weather, which I hope won’t cause any damage.
Me? I’ll still be wearing sandals tonight, but will take a light coat with me.

I saw this [click on images to enlarge] while out visiting the Noche en Blanco activities on Friday night. It was the first time this “aljibe romano” – basically an old Roman cistern – was open to the public. Apparently they’ve found more around, but this is the only one they’ve restored. What’s cool is that they date back to the second century. I was underground looking at something built many centuries and civilisations ago. Dust in the wind…
