protection

Gotta admit I’ve been pretty lax about using proper sun protection so the other day I dug out some Nivea spray stuff (originally bought for Peter’s head) from the back of the bathroom cupboard and gave it a try. And uffff… way too strong a smell for me to have anywhere near my nose (Peter doesn’t notice it). I started looking around for another brand and was immediately overwhelmed by choice, so it was Twitter to the rescue. This came up a couple of times when I asked for some advice and it sounded like just what I was looking for… then I had to either find it here or order it online. Turns out my favourite neighbourhood pharmacy stocks it, and so now I’m all set for the longer summer days. What sun protection do you use?

fred susan

Another fabulous Twitter Pal meet up, this time with Fred & Susan. I’ve known Fred on Twitter for ages (Susan is more of an Instagram lurker) and we have a lot of the same London Twitter friends in common, so it was great to finally get together for an afternoon of tapas, wine and chat. And omg what a wonderful day it was. We started off at Zurbarán and finished at Salmedina with a seafood feast, though of course not properly finishing without a cava penúltima at nearby Catalina La Barra. Thanks for a delicious day guys, come back soon!

marta 2024

She’s baaaack… this week Martha is in town with husband Joe and their friends and they invited Peter and I to join them for lunch. Martha and I first met back in 2014 (ten years ago!) when she came on one of my Sevilla Tapas Tours as a solo traveller and she has been back multiple times since then, sometimes on her own, other times with Joe or en famille with their sons. She’s also had a couple of holiday meals at my house. And it’s always great to meet up again. We had a fabulous lunch at Salmedina and spent a great afternoon together. Come back soon! 💙

so that didn’t work…

fan

The last ditch effort to repair my number one fan was not successful. So after 20 years I had to retire the old girl and get this new model. Which in fact is quite nice! It was supposed to be my new bedroom fan but, as it looks much nicer than the one that was in the living room, I’ve swapped them. So now we’ve got fans in every room again. I honestly don’t know how people live without them (also, saves on AC).

old faithful redux

Omg I brought my number one fan Old Faithful down from storage for a cleaning before putting her back to work and the doohickey thingy that the other thingy (on table) screws onto – that holds on the back panel – just fell off. Or better said it just broke off from the motor bit. Dammit. So today I bought some special super-duper glue meant for hard plastic bits and will see if it works. So far it’s holding up but I’ve been told by the instructions that I have to wait for 24 hours FOR BEST RESULTS. Thoughts and prayers please…
