Whenever I’m asked what my favourite tapas bar is (and I get asked that a LOT) or even my top five, I can never answer. Likewise with my favourite song or movie. You know, it always depends. My mood, the weather… lots of variables to consider. But if anyone ever asks me what my favourite TV series of all time is I do not hesitate… it’s The Wire. It just is. Nothing else even comes close. I have followed its creator and writer David Simon on social media for years, first on Twitter and now on Bluesky, and this past weekend THIS happened. Stay tuned…

So hey, I finally crept up over the 12K mark on Instagram (seems like I was stuck at 11.9K forever). I do wish there was an alternative as I’d like to “un-meta” myself, but for now it’s still “good for business”. Anyhow, thank you followers! Meanwhile, those tapas don’t pay for themselves, so if you’d like to make a small contribution (always appreciated) here’s the Tip Jar.

The Bluesky Harvest thingy goes through all your posts for the year and shows you, well, these recaps. This one is for my Sevilla Tapas account (the Azahar account I mostly use when I’m feeling cranky or need a rant, and also to post my wordle scores). I have to say the Most Used Words one seems to be mostly based on hashtags, so not really MY words. But whatever, just a bit of fun.

So I finally got to spend time with Debbie Love Love! We’ve known each other online for years, and have briefly met up twice at two of our mutual friend Jeanine’s (then) bars, but we never really had a chance to sit down and talk until now. A lunch date was set and it HAD to be at Barra Baja in “our corner” at the bar – by chance both Debbie and I have adopted the end of the bar at BB as “ours”, so this time we shared.
Debbie’s is in the process of ending one chapter of her life and beginning a new one, closing her business Cookie Love Love after 11 years. She is still unsure about what lies ahead but I am sure she’s going to find her new passion before too long. We had a great time talking non-stop for ages and it was great getting to know each other a bit.
Anyhow… lunch. You guessed it…
It went on a while, ending with a penúlitima at another favourite place, Bar Rioja La Esquina, where we were joined by Jeanine. A good day.
