Went out for lunch at Eslava today with a friend of mine (who shall remain anonymous) and found out that another Sevilla food blogger has been going around spreading nasty – and totally untrue! – rumours about me.

Looks like I have arrived!  🙂

But I am vindicated not only because what he’s saying is false. I have a friend here who had the same problems with him a while back (stealing photos, sending rude private FB messages) and so he can say what he likes. In fact, I actually hope he says these things to people who know me well so that it all blows up in his face.

Karma, baby!

Aside from that I had some sad news regarding a tapas tour someone had booked as a 10th anniversary surprise for his wife (along with tickets for yesterday’s U2 concert) … all of which was ruined by the stupid fecking general strike on Wednesday when this guy found out all flights had been cancelled. I actually cried when I got his email because I remembered his previous ones and how excited he was about doing something so sweet and special for his wife. Anyhow, I tried to help him sell his tickets (no luck) and will return his 50% deposit – this is usually non-refundable but considering the circumstances it’s the least I can do.  As a result of all this I was free on Wednesday evening to meet up with Australian travel writer Shaney Hudson and her Dutch boyfriend Chris (both now living in Rotterdam) and we made a night of it…
