clients

So it’s been a fun month, getting back to my beloved Sevilla Tapas Tours – even had a Sevilla Sherry Tasting last week! – and it’s all been great. It’s still very poco á poco, with restrictions slowly being lifted and all that. Of course this also means the greedy Tour Whores are out in full force, trying to cram large groups into small spaces, many of whom copied my tours but forgot the most important part – to respect both your clients and the bars you take them to. They don’t give a shit that their big noisy groups and shrill guides totally disrupt the nice local buzz, or even that they are loathed by all, including the bar owners.

But in spite of them, I’ve been having such a wonderful time, getting back into this thing I love so much. Let’s see what happens moving forward.

knickers galore!

knickers galore

What an idiot. Last week I placed an order for some new M&S high-leg cotton knickers, same ones I’ve been buying forever because I just cannot find comfy knickers like this in Sevilla. I’d noticed that some of mine were ready to go to knicker heaven, and that prompted me to place this order. They arrived, got washed, and then got piled into my mess of a closet. Whatever. Fine. EXCEPT today I decided to clean out that closet and also my bedroom chest of drawers and … omg! I found tons of knickers I didn’t even know I had! I have just kept taking the ones off the top of the pile without realising there were knickers galore lurking below them. This is in part because I have the worst designed bedroom closets ever and, gotta admit, I’m a bit lazy about keeping them organised. So anyhow… looks like I’m set knicker-wise for some time to come. Next up is a closet full of clothes I haven’t looked at in almost two years. I plan on being ruthless.
