So this was lovely! The other day a mutual Twitter/Instagram pal hooked Katie @bowlandandbay and me up as she and her partner Paul were in town for a few days. We met today – their last day – for a quick sherry at Manolo Cateca, which ended up segueing into a fun sherry filled afternoon, finishing up at Palo Cortao for lunch. Another great social media connection (I still love Twitter for this!) and new foodie friends.

Another Sherry & Tapas Tour and another meet up with an Instagram pal I’ve “known” for ages and finally got to meet in person. Sarah and Ian are here for a few days and so we started things off right with a delicious afternoon bar-hopping and hugging the buildings for shade (it’s getting hot out there!). Social media and my tours have brought so many lovely people into my life.

I’m in!

I FINALLY got onto Bluesky this morning. They sent me an invite code in April but it kept not working so I requested another one and that one also didn’t work plus then I was told my email was invalid. Grrrrrr. I tried a few more times and then gave up. Until this morning. I don’t know why but I was scrolling through Twitter in bed and suddenly thought dammit, I’m gonna try that damn invite code ONE MORE TIME. And this time it worked! I’m in.

Bluesky feels more like Twitter than the other alternatives I’ve tried, which is probably not surprising as it was created by Jack. But it’s still a bit glitchy. For example, I managed to sign in on the app, but the desktop version still won’t recognise me. Oh well. If you’re also there, come and say hi.
