So I found an app today that will track my walking route and tell me how far I’ve gone, and how fast. It’s a bit like Fitbit, but more specific. Fitbit counts all my steps all day long (when I am carrying my iPhone). With this app I can set it to start when I actually begin the WALK. Turns out it’s about 5 kms and takes about an hour. I don’t always follow the exact same route, and I do this at all different times of day (which is the great thing about it – so flexible) but I do enjoy the river walk.

And even though I know it’s just the tip of the iceberg, I’ve actually lost about 4 kilos, which is definitely a step (or 10,000 a day) in the right direction. 🙂

I first met Lucy @sparkybakewell at my 20th anniversary party seven years ago. Since then we’ve bumped into each other at various events or in the street, but more recently Lucy has become one of my Tapas Research pals. Turns out we have similar tastes in food and wine and it’s always helpful to have another opinion (as well as an extra stomach to be able to try more dishes).

On this occasion I was invited to lunch for two at the newly opened Barra Baja, since I had to miss their inauguration party last week. Food was great, not too sure about the wine list though. Full review will be up on Sevilla Tapas soon.
