arrrgh 23

First cockroach sighting since May 2022, which is a bit of a record. During my 30 years in Sevilla I’ve usually found one or two of these vile creatures in my house during the summer months. They are often first discovered by the cats, who can sniff them out, and then proceed to kill them to smithereens. But sometimes they just pop out of nowhere like GAAAAAAAAAAAH. Like today. Luckily Peter was on hand with his trusty shoe to kill the fucker and then dispose of it down the toilet. I just can’t with these things. I mean, I know they are just a bug and, even though they are actually enormous cockroaches, they are still small compared to me. But I just can’t. Anyhow, going by past summers there should only be one more this year? Please? Or none? Even better.

doohickey

Some days it’s all about the little things. When the flatmate moved back in probably the most cumbersome thing he brought over was his electric fan, which he took apart to transport. At the beginning of summer it turned out that a couple of vital pieces were missing, a big screw that secured the pole to the base, and the doohickey that secured the fan blade to the motor. Well imagine how clever I felt when, after putting the new cat stand together in June, I thought to try one of the big screws from the old stand on the base of Peter’s fan and… hey it worked! The pole fit right in and was secure. It was actually at that moment we realised that the doohickey was also missing. Fuck. Since then the fan has been in Peter’s room, standing there half assembled, doing nothing. Until today!

bibs

… you start wearing a fucking bib to eat!

Ever since, well probably almost forever, I have never sat at the table to eat a meal when I was alone. I have always sat in my comfy chair with my feet up, either reading or watching tv while eating, and YES I KNOW this is a bad habit. Just like taking your iPhone to bed. So sue me.  I do both. And when the flatmate returned there were both of us eating in our respective comfy living room seating during meals while checking out what was good on Netflix. And constantly spilling food down our fronts because, well, no table. Before when eating something especially spilly I’d tuck some paper towels into the neck of my Day PJs, elegant as always, and that seemed good enough. But was it really? So I googled adult bibs one day and omg it was sad, all kinds of medical websites and not actually any better options than a whack of paper towels. AND THEN I was in El Corte InglĂ©s the other day and saw these light cotton aprons (6€ each) and decided, why not? Of course it’s a bit cumbersome (and hot in summer) to wear a full apron while eating, so I just cut them off at waist length, cut off the ties, and voilĂ . Bibs. With handy pockets for napkins. Bonus!
