Just before leaving Vinoble we went to the Consejo Regulador area and I got to sign my own “official” barrel, announcing my Introduction to Sherry tours event for International Sherry Week! 🙂

scotland in sevilla
Look at all the lovely gifts I was given by @lesleyjudge and @aileenlamb who, along with @criadera, met up with me in Málaga this past weekend. More on our adventures later on Azahar in Sevilla. Today I am busy catching up on the work I couldn’t get done over the weekend due to crap internet, as well as doing laundry and drinking lots of green tea (making a change from all the WINE drunk over the past few days). Oh, and I also went to the gym for the first time in almost five weeks, taking my first walk outside the house without crutches. Not a bad Monday! How’s yours?

street stuff
Of all the things on my ridiculously long TO DO list, this was probably very very near the bottom in terms of importance. So of course I just spent the past two hours doing it! Duh.

I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to focus much these days. In theory, as I am still pretty much housebound, this should be an ideal time to catch up on things (as I mentioned over here) but so far my days remain only semi-productive.

Anyhow, this new photo album is a collection of stuff from the street – graffiti art, windows and doorways, pretty tiles – that have caught my eye over the past year or so. All are up on my Instagram too. You’ll see a lot of imaginatively painted store and bar shutters as well as garage and house doors. The reason for this is because somehow graffiti vandals will respect another person’s work and not defile it (no doubt wrongly assuming they are brothers in arms). Meanwhile, there’s a massive difference between graffiti art and shitty blobby tagging, but hey, as long as this works. Makes for some interesting walks around town.

easter week, semana santa, sevilla, spain, wax warnings

slippery wax (1)
Or more specifically, signs of Easter in Sevilla. “Wax warning” signs put up around the city along procession routes. I’ve never seen these before so I’m guessing the city has been sued due to slippery wax related accidents…

In case you don’t know, penitents carry long candles during the Semana Santa processions that drip wax (cera) along the way. For a couple of weeks after Easter shoes and car tires make squeaky noises.
