THE SHERRY ANVIL

Lots of changes going on within the Sherry Council (Consejo Regulador) including the expansion of what we have always known as the Sherry Triangle, that area of land bordered by Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María which, until now, was the only place that sherry wines could be officially produced, aged and bottled. The new expansion includes six more towns: Lebrija, Trebujena, Chipiona, Rota, Chiclana and San José de Valle, which is good news for the producers, but it does leave us with a bit of a quandary as to how to refer to the region now.

support local art

You may recall that I own a couple of prints by local artist Alfredo Rodriguez (lower right), now well-known for his colourful sketches of Sevilla façades. Well this week the boys behind La Casa del Tigre (upper left) opened a new bar called El Pantera (review coming soon!) and – I love this – chose to feature Alfredo’s work as a kind of permanent exhibit. Every wall is covered with his prints and the effect is fabulous. What a wonderful way of supporting local art and also creating a unique décor and focal point for your bar. Well done guys!

covid day 6

Well, that is using last Wednesday (first positive test) as Day 1. As you can see the ol’ T Line is finally getting a bit fainter. I’m far from “out of the woods” but according the the government, after five days of isolation I’m good to go, you know, to work, out shopping, hanging out with friends, travelling… all without a mask. Even though I am obviously still infectious af.

Aside from being angry and frustrated at THAT I also want to give a special shout out to all you deniers and anti-vaxxers/maskers whose utter selfishness is making people sick (or killing them). The government couldn’t have done this without you.

Also you can imagine how I’m feeling about every person who scoffed that l was being “over cautious” and should “get on with my life” over the past two and a half years. Plus a big fuck off to the response that this was “inevitable”. Because in fact it was totally preventable. All it would have taken was that people take sensible preventative measures DURING A GODDAM GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Apparently this was too much to ask for because people are fucking selfish assholes (except for those few who aren’t). Because guess what? I am proof positive that this fucking pandemic IS NOT OVER.
