insta annoying (1)

I don’t know what’s going on with Instagram. At first I thought it was my new iphone camera making things go wonky as it has a macro lens and other schmancy stuff. But then I realised things were only going wonky on Instagram. I used to always upload pics on Insta and do a bit of editing and that was fine, until recently. Suddenly the colours etc were coming out all wrong, and once uploaded not at all how they’d looked after I’d edited them. So then I tried not editing them at all… same problem.

And when I checked them against other platforms (twitter, bluesky, wordpress) as you can see, the pics on the left are normal, But as soon as they go up on Instagram they get all washed out, over exposed, over saturated. Anyone else having this problem?

coloquio aove

With my fellow academicos (Academia Sevillano Gastronomía y Turismo) at the first colloquium for Year of EVOO held at the Caja Rural del Sur Foundation. “EL AOVE DE SEVILLA, HOY” was a timely topic given the challenges the industry is facing at the moment.

Participating in the event (photo) were Isabel Solís, territorial delegate of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, Fisheries and Rural Development; Moisés Caballero, general secretary of the Governing Council of the DOP Estepa, Manuel Félix Moreno, president of Opracol, and Eduardo Martín Jiménez, general secretary of ASAJA Sevilla. Our academica Begoña Amurrio moderated the colloquium with a introduction by our president Julio Moreno.

The session ended with several questions from the public, among them local experts and also producers from the province. As always, it was a very interesting and educational event.

caturday march 16 2024

My little monkey Azar shortly after I brought him home from his previous street life. Way back in 1995! I couldn’t have known then that this tiny little guy would end up owning my heart, but there you go. We had 16 love-filled years together. I still miss him, his quirky ways, his humour (only cat I’ve ever known with an actual sense of humour), his ferocious love… and of course there is Morcilla now who often channels Azar (they were born on the same day 18 years apart), but this guy was totally one of a kind. Anyone who has had the good fortune to meet him will confirm this. Happy Caturday! 🐈‍⬛ ❤️🐾

sandals 2024

Omg this is the shabbiest quicky pedi I’ve ever done but suddenly it was going up to 26º and I had to be out of the house in less than half an hour. And I DID NOT want to put on tights and shoes. With my back not cooperating and my knees not bending properly this was the best I could do at short notice. The important thing was to have happy toes, and really, nobody should be getting that close to my feet to notice. Going to book a pro-job asap.

But yeah… it’s suddenly azahar and blackbirds and sandals. Hola Spring!
