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.

Today I did two of my favourite things… met up in person (first time) with someone I’ve known on social media for years and went out on a Tasting Triana Tour. Amy has been a Facebook pal forever and so when she and her husband Bill made a return trip to Sevilla they decided to look me up. And omg what a fun and delicious time we had. In fact we were having so much fun that we went into overtime with a post-tour penúltima (or two) so that I ended up rolling home around 7 pm (we’d started at noon). Being younger than me (who isn’t??) they carried on. What can I say? Sometimes you just click with someone and – the most important thing of all – sense of humour in sync.

Anyhow, Amy and Bill, thank you for being amazing and for brightening my day. It was so great getting to know you both. Hope you’ll be back! xx
