Another fab time meeting Twitter pals, in this case Cathy and her husband Mark (who are also friends and Algarve neighbours of Yin & Phil who I met a couple of weeks ago). Anyhow, this was a flying visit for them but we managed to fit in a penúltima (or three) at my local bar down the street before they headed off for dinner. Since Cathy and I have “known” each other for years it was like meeting up with an old friend. Hope they’ll be back soon.

I’ve been Twitter pals with Yin @jjassociatesYin & Phil @philjjassociate for YEARS. They live next door in Portugal so they end up coming to Sevilla quite often, but today was the first time we’ve managed to meet up in person. Total kindred spirits in the love of good food and wine department, plus we know a lot of the same bars and bar owners. It’s almost like we’ve been living parallel lives here.
Today we went somewhere they hadn’t been to before, La Barra de Cañabota, with Peter joining us, and we had a great time. Looking forward to future Beer O’clocks with them.

Twitter strikes again. Though this time is was more of an indirect hit as Heather and Eric are old friends of my neighbour Robert Warnock @warnock.robert and they got in touch through him about a tapas tour. I was booked already for the week, or as booked as I can be right now, but we decided to just meet up for a quick beer and a tapa… which then morphed into a lovely lunch. And with Robert joining us! I’ve known Robert via social media for at least a couple of years, recently finding out that we live about 10 minutes away from each other, and he is even one of my Patreons (helping to keep my Sevilla Tapas website going)… and yet we had still never met until now. So what a great time, and so nice to have finally met Robert in person.

So I came across Wordle shortly after my birthday and thought… hey a word game! I found out about it when people I follow on Twitter started sharing their daily Wordle results and decided to investigate… and now I’m hooked. What I didn’t expect is how people on Twitter who don’t know what Wordle is have chosen to hate it simply based on people posting their results (which look like the image above, if you’re lucky, and without the WTF). What’s with that? If seeing a post with a few coloured squares in it sets someone off they can simply mute the word “wordle” and they’ll never see another one. But it seems they prefer to complain. Not me though! I’m having fun with it. It’s on a free app and a new puzzle comes up every 24 hours. Have you tried it?
