I’ve posted pics of this guy’s work here before but I have only just found out who he is. Well, sort of. He goes by the name Jonzi and he’s an anonymous local artist who has been delighting Sevilla with his clever silhouettes that have been popping up around town for the past year (he started around the end of 2021). The stickers are applied with wallpaper glue so as not to damage the building surfaces, which also means they are temporary, though some seem to be lasting quite well. I love them and hope he continues.

Just “met” him on Instagram this morning.

Sherry & Tapas Tasting

This year I have two fabulous sherry tastings on offer for Sherry Week (November 7-13th). A lunchtime Sherry & Tapas tasting at my beloved Casa Morales. And new this year is a gorgeous gourmet tasting option at chic Restaurante Zelai featuring wines by Bodegas Lustau that is available late afternoons. Spread the word!

covid day 6

Well, that is using last Wednesday (first positive test) as Day 1. As you can see the ol’ T Line is finally getting a bit fainter.

Even though I am obviously still infectious af.

Aside from being angry and frustrated at THAT I also want to give a special shout out to all you deniers and anti-vaxxers/maskers whose utter selfishness is making people sick (or killing them). The government couldn’t have done this without you.

Also you can imagine how I’m feeling about every person who scoffed that l was being “over cautious” and should “get on with my life” over the past two and a half years. Plus a big fuck off to the response that this was “inevitable”. Because in fact it was totally preventable. All it would have taken was that people take sensible preventative measures DURING A GODDAM GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Apparently this was too much to ask for because people are fucking selfish assholes (except for those few who aren’t). Because guess what? I am proof positive that this fucking pandemic IS NOT OVER.
