It’s no joke. I am suddenly so busy that I find myself running out of time each day. And I love it. I mean, I still have time to get my work done – or enough of it – but no longer have time to wonder about what to do next. The days are just filling themselves up, which is such a difference compared to the past couple of years. Now I just need to make it pay! Though I should get the first part of my SimonSeeks advance mid-October, and tapas tours are slowly booking up, so now just have to find a few students – for both me and Nog – and I’ll be in business. For real. Cool, eh?

As anyone who does freelance work knows, scheduling is important not only for making sure you have enough time to get your work done, but also for having time to do other things you enjoy. Back when I was only teaching English for a living it was easier to organise my time because I simply worked around the weekly scheduled classes. But since I started “diversifying” the line between work and my own time began to get a bit fuzzy. This is good in a way because it means that I am finally attaining a goal I set for myself over 25 years ago – to have my work be the same as what I would want to do anyhow when I got out of bed in the morning – but it also posed the challenge of making the most of my waking hours…

So check it out – this is my new SimonSeeks page. There’s not a lot written yet as I’m just getting started, but by the end of November it will be filled with all kinds of fabulous information about hotels & other sorts of accommodation, restaurants & tapas bars, monuments & sights, shopping, nightlife, culture and lots of other useful info written by a local resident. Me.

I’m quite excited about this new challenge and I like that they want me to write in a casual and personal manner. They don’t want it sounding like a stuffy tourist guide. And most importantly, they want what I do best – to provide up-to-date info and opinions about My Sevilla.

You all know how much I love this place.

I’m looking forward to the London meeting in September. I’ve also started a SevilleExpert Twitter account and from now until deadline will be researching and writing like mad.

What a week it’s been! I got back from my holiday in Málaga on Sunday evening and was quite looking forward to a tapas tour that had been booked for the next evening. Little did I know that Simon, Clare and Joe were about to become good friends. The tour started off pleasantly and we were all having such a good time by the time it finished that we ended up at my favourite rooftop bar having a few drinks …
