still love twitter

I don’t know of any other social media platform that can do this. Usually this blog serves as my MEMORY for when I want to check back on when this or that happened. And to be honest I was actually going to write a post about my new iridescent green jacket – never forget this is the MOST BORING BLOG in the world! – but couldn’t find a good photo of it. And while I was kicking myself for not doing this when they told me at El Corte Inglés they could only help me if I remembered the exact day I bought the jacket I suddenly remembered this tweet.

I only chat like this on Twitter. My random whatevers. Though I am making progress with Bluesky in case Twitter suddenly flips over and dies. After trying ALL the Twitter alternatives Bluesky is the one that works for me. And really? I’ve been meeting some lovely people there. Poco á poco.

This weekend Meta Dread Threads was finally approved by the EU so people here could join up and bing bing bing suddenly all their friends from Facebook and Instagram were there too because (duh) IT’S THE SAME FUCKING COMPANY. So they are signing up in droves because omg it’s so easy! I don’t know why the EU finally decided to let Threads in, and I don’t care. I am just NOT going to have every single social media platform I use being run by the same crazed company.

So for now I am sticking with floundering Twitter and upstart Bluesky. If you need a Bluesky invite code just let me know.

sevilla tapas logo

Well… I say new. To be honest I’ve never actually had a proper logo for the Sevilla Tapas food tours, though I’ve used various orange-themed images over the years over all my messy websites. This was a team effort with my friend Paul who, back in August, also helped me turn my hot mess of websites into a manageable dishevelment. And so this week Paul fine-tuned the basic logo concept I came up with and then properly vectored it for me.

The “problem” I have with my “brand” is that I am both Azahar Sevilla and Sevilla Tapas and they are kind of one overlapping brand with different… um, thingys going on. But probably people know me more as Sevilla Tapas. So after I saw that jerkoff using Sevilla Tapas Tour on his social media I decided to take a stand and reboot Sevilla Tapas Tours, an account I set up years ago (2013) in case anyone tried to use my name. In hindsight I should have also set up Sevilla Tapas Tour but whatever. Anyhow I’m a bit in transition at the moment so you may see some changes coming up for 2024. At least I hope so!

wordle in 1 again

When this first happened back in August it was after more than a year of using the same starting word every day so it seemed almost inevitable. But since then I’ve been using several different words in no particular order and so… extra wow.

ali kaye

I’ve known Ali & Kaye on Twitter for ages (and they have been real life best friends since 2011, though they live on opposite sides of the Iberian peninsula) so it was great to finally meet them both in person and take them out on a tapas tour. As they have both been to Sevilla before we decided to eat our way around Triana and it was a fabulous afternoon. Honestly these two are like a comedy team, funny AF and constantly playing off each other, and hey, they thought I was funny too! Always makes a nice change when people think I’m funny and not a cranky old cynic who hates everything and everyone (who me? 😇).

We even went into “overtime” going for a penúlitma after the tour was over and, since I was off the clock, so to speak, I finally felt able to swear properly again. Heck, by our final tapas tour stop we were already sharing pet photos and comparing scars à la Jaws (don’t ask, but I won!). I would have loved to spend more time with these two lovelies, so hopefully that will happen again before too long. Whenever people dis Twitter I always have many happy-making stories like this to counter all those cranky old cynics. 🙂

I have known Lizzie (@hollow_legs) for years, both virtually and in person, and last saw her in London in 2016. So I was thrilled to find out she was going to be visiting Sevilla this month with two other London foodie friends Helen @foodstories and Chris @chrispople and so of course we had to get together and do SOMETHING. That something was to take them out for an afternoon to taste Triana.

It was so lovely catching up with Lizzie, and also meeting Helen and Chris in person for the first time. Whenever people dis social media I always think of all the wonderful people I’ve met, and continue to meet, there. It’s like any useful tool… you have to know how to use it.

I don’t know if I’ll ever make it back to London again (I’d love to!) but I know that if I do I won’t lack for lovely friends to meet up with.
