Just over a month ago I did some research for my Flamenco & Tapas Tours when I visited the Flamenco Museum, and this week I got to do a bit more at the Casa de la Guitarra. I really like both venues and both will be good for the tours, in different ways. Also this week I got the first Trip Advisor review for my Flamenco & Tapas Tours. Really think these are going to be great.
And tonight I am going back to the Opera at the Market. What are you up to tonight?

sexy beast, shadow and the greyhound
Today I did a bit of tidying up. My little laptop family may seem a bit excessive but anyone who has followed The Saga will know that Shadow was bought when Sexy Beast had to go to computer hospital and there was no way I could be without a working computer for over a month. In any case, SB was already getting a bit tired so it was probably time for an upgrade. When I got SB back I added some RAM and passed her on to Peter as his old HP (aka The Brick) had kicked the bucket. Likewise when I recently bought The Greyhound, Shadow became Peter’s work laptop. Except sometimes I still need all three. Like today.
First of all I needed some printing done, which can only be done on Shadow as I’ve lost the installation discs for my printer (can probably find it online but bleh…) and I also wanted to add some music to my iPod, which can only be done on Sexy Beast. The last one is more of An Issue than the printing. So if someone knows of an EASY way of moving my iTunes library over to The Greyhound, I’m all ears. It’s ridiculous that you can’t sync your iPod on more than one computer, for all kinds of obvious reasons.
But on the bright side I spent a good hour cleaning out old files from Shadow so that he should run a lot faster for Peter now. And t’s also given me a chance to update a lot of stuff on Sexy Beast that needed doing, not the least of which was installing the latest version of iTunes. So I am feeling quite accomplished in the way you feel after you’ve cleaned out some unruly closet space.
What did you do today?

So it took me ages to find the post where I first mentioned that I was planning to write an e-book… back in September 2009!!! Good grief. I know I can procrastinate but this is a bit ridiculous. Well oh yeah, there was the getting over chemo thing, plus rebuilding my life and creating a whole new career for myself. And then moving house and blah, blah, blah…
Anyhow, I started an outline for my e-book recently and was surprised to discover that there are several ways I could probably go with this. But first I’m going to get all the material together and see where that takes me.
It also turns out that a lot of it is pretty much already written, so it will mostly be a question of doing re-writes and editing and then playing with OpenOffice and getting it all on PDF and all that. I’m actually quite excited. Will keep you posted!

Some pics from this morning’s Market & Tapas Tour. Have to say that I am really enjoying these and, as I am back home by 3 pm, I can also manage an evening Sevilla Tapas Tour if need be (doing lunchtime and evening tapas tours on the same day is a challenge as there are only a couple hours between them). These morning tours also have a different pace and there’s more walking, which is nice. Am now working on my next project, which I hope to start up in the new year. Stay tuned…
