So the plan was that we would all meet up in Córdoba, poke around a bit, and then head for lunch at NOOR. After a walk to the centre from the train station we made the obligatory stop at Bar Santos for a slice of their famous monster tortilla, then spent some time in the Mezquita. After that we split up because I wanted to see Plaza Corredura, which was more or less on the way to the restaurant. And some 15,000 steps later I was at NOOR. More on that later, but for now here are a few shots of Córdoba.
they’re baaaack!

When old friends return and bring their old friends with them, and then you end up having the best of times being together again, and also for the first time 💛
As I mentioned the other day, Xavier and Nina are back and this time with their friends Ginny and Wade, and we met up for a fun afternoon tapeo. And as I also mentioned, I have been invited to join them for lunch at NOOR in Córdoba on Friday. SO EXCITED.

A week or so ago I had a look through music streaming options. Years ago I paid for Spotify but wasn’t happy with it and then I started listening to YouTube music at home on the laptop. Yes, with the pesky ads, but whatever. Then a couple of months ago my trusty old iPod Nero suddenly kicked the bucket – one day all the music just disappeared – so I had nothing to listen to on my walks. And so I tried out YouTube premium on a trial offer but it felt a bit clunky.
So then it was back to Spotify and I decided to sign up for one month and give it another try. TWO DAYS before all the shit hit the fan with the Neil and Joni protests (omg felt so proud to be Canadian!) which left me with almost a month of paid for Spotify. Which okay, I will use up because, let’s face it, I’m not made of money. But I am now left looking for an alternative. Because I really want to keep up my walks and having music with me just makes it so much more pleasurable.
So, do you have a favourite? I’m thinking of going with Apple Music because their catalogue is similar to Spotify and they don’t promote shitbag podcasters. But maybe there are others out there?
