I’m not usually out in the evenings these days but coming home from an event just before sunset I caught the Setas with a particularly lovely light on them. God I love this city.

Not sure why I didn’t do this sooner, or even if I should be doing it now, but no way I’m going to take a fucking opioid (Tramadol) twice a day for three months in case it makes me feel better. And who knows when I’ll hear back from the knee surgeon to discuss the the results of the new x-rays they took that very same day. Then I remembered that when I saw the other, nicer, kinder traumatologist in June (about my shoulder) she had suggested taking this collagen supplement (two months on, one month off). Around the same time my GP had suggested something called Nubit for my neuropathy, which began during chemo and frankly ain’t getting any better. So decided to go for it, ordered both of these today and let’s see what happens.

The Antigua lglesia de San Hermenegildo, closed since 2006, has been hidden under scaffolding and a protective metal roof for the past two years or so while a major restoration was carried out. Hobbling by today the fresh white façade against that bright blue sky totally caught my eye. Nice to see it back. Apparently it will be an cultural centre now… we shall see.

Out doing more research for the upcoming Bitesize article on flamenco. Last week it was to the Museo del Baile Flamenco, this time to the Flamenco Teatro. I had been back in 2021 shortly after it opened but not since, and I heard they had changed their format somewhat. Also, Javier is now running theatres in four other cities (!!) so obviously doing well. We were greeted by the manager Carlos, offered a glass of cava and then led to our front-and-centre Premium seats. It’s quite different from other shows in town and I liked it a lot. Anyhow, stay tuned for the article… should be out on Friday.
