rainy day bbq
Yes, it’s those Jets Like Taxis guys again, Ang & Ryan, this time enjoying a rainy day BBQ on my rooftop. This BBQ had been “in the making” for weeks and was originally going to include two other couples, but in the end I had to cancel twice because of The Rain. Then we got to talking about it during our Macarena day trip and, as this was Ang & Ryan’s last weekend in town, decided that we could sort of half-organise a BBQ for just four people (including Peter) so if we had to cancel last minute then no big deal. Basically it would be burgers & dogs, with Ang in charge of making her famous flavour-packed burgers and me getting some nice chorizo criollo to fill in as hotdogs. Of course – you know me – I had to be sure there was “enough food”, so I also made a nice spinach tortilla and some bacon & cheese croquettes as starters. Next to nothing was left over.

Everything was looking great until Peter lit the charcoal. Suddenly large black clouds swooped in and threatened to, well, threaten our BBQ. But we decided WTF and went ahead with it anyway. And it was fabulous! We sat under one of the large awnings in the rain (the BBQ was under the other one) listening to Paco de Lucía, drinking beer and wine, and seriously eating. There was something quite cosy about sitting out in the rain but being all dry and comfy and warm. How was your Sunday?

fff - rain

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “rain”…

It’s really hard to capture rain in a photo. This is actually a screen shot taken from this video, which I took while in a pharmacy on the way home from my last impromptu hospital stay and I got trapped by this impromptu rain shower. Anyhow, while you can’t actually make out the rain coming down you can see where it hits the ground.

Check out what other Friday Foto Finders are posting over here!

The word biblical comes to mind. Holy cow, it’s been raining cats and dogs all day. With intermittent torrential downpours that make it impossible to even step outside. And it looks like this isn’t going to let up until the weekend. Everyone says that this is a good thing, because Sevilla always needs rain, but I think deep down people wish it could always be sunny.

Me? I’d just like to get my laundry dried.

Isn’t this a fabulous photo by Raúl Díaz? (click to enlarge). He’s a twitter friend and “neighbour” and took this pic today in the centre of Sevilla.

rain, sevilla, summer, weather


Last Friday afternoon I took a taxi from the hospital to the Plaza Alfalfa, a square near my house, so that I could pick up the various drugs I needed at the pharmacy there. While inside the skies opened and this very unsummerlike scene left me stranded while Nog raced home to get umbrellas so I could get home as soon as possible without getting soaked through.

All that week up until Sunday the weather was lovely and fresh, with a couple of rainstorms to clean the air. But this week The Heat is back. At the moment the thermometer reads 32º in my livingroom but I refuse to turn on the airconditioning because another thing waiting for me when I got home was a 173€ electricity bill for August (!!!). I’m still in shock. That is just for one month! And I only used the aircon for maybe three hours a day in August. So for the rest of the summer I’m just going to sweat it out and look forward to the cooler weather to arrive. Though I could do without another rainy winter…

didn’t it rain

rain, sister rosetta tharpe, video

It’s been rainy and cold and miserable the past few days.
But this made me smile.

Thanks, Steve!
