scotland in sevilla
Look at all the lovely gifts I was given by @lesleyjudge and @aileenlamb who, along with @criadera, met up with me in Málaga this past weekend. More on our adventures later on Azahar in Sevilla. Today I am busy catching up on the work I couldn’t get done over the weekend due to crap internet, as well as doing laundry and drinking lots of green tea (making a change from all the WINE drunk over the past few days). Oh, and I also went to the gym for the first time in almost five weeks, taking my first walk outside the house without crutches. Not a bad Monday! How’s yours?

to market
Another very successful Market & Tapas Tour! I actually wish I got more requests for this particular food tour because it’s really a lot of fun, and it makes a nice change for me to work during the day and have the evening off. In other news… I graduated to using ONE CRUTCH for this tour and it was fine. Still very painful feet but it wasn’t any worse with just the one crutch.  Also much easier to manoeuvre. I think I’ll hobble over to the doctor’s this week and see about arranging some physio (okay Beth??).

a very sherry monday

So after resting my sad and sorry feet all weekend I ended up out and about all day! First stop was the official Sevilla launch for the fabulous Tío Pepe en Rama, which meant being on my feet quite a bit (though I took the tram part of the way there)….

Then it was home again to rest up for a couple of hours before my Sherry & Tapas Tour. Peter has been helping me out lately by doing some of my tapas tours, but this is one that I have to do myself. As you can see, it went very well…

After that I was on my way home with Peter, who’d come to meet me at the final stop, when we got kidnapped by the owners of a new bar in my barrio. They were holding a pre-feria party – including lots of fried fish and fino – and invited us in. Well, would you have said no…?

So today I’ve been a good girl and have stayed in resting up for more tours starting mañana. How was your Monday?

street stuff
Of all the things on my ridiculously long TO DO list, this was probably very very near the bottom in terms of importance. So of course I just spent the past two hours doing it! Duh.

I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to focus much these days. In theory, as I am still pretty much housebound, this should be an ideal time to catch up on things (as I mentioned over here) but so far my days remain only semi-productive.

Anyhow, this new photo album is a collection of stuff from the street – graffiti art, windows and doorways, pretty tiles – that have caught my eye over the past year or so. All are up on my Instagram too. You’ll see a lot of imaginatively painted store and bar shutters as well as garage and house doors. The reason for this is because somehow graffiti vandals will respect another person’s work and not defile it (no doubt wrongly assuming they are brothers in arms). Meanwhile, there’s a massive difference between graffiti art and shitty blobby tagging, but hey, as long as this works. Makes for some interesting walks around town.

I’d been looking forward to the Return of Kyran & Claire for months! And then it turned out that their five days in Sevilla coincided with me being on crutches and not being about to go out and play much. But we still managed to pack in a couple of serious tapeos. In retrospect I may as well have done the sherry tour I’d promised them. Each time we met up it was only for “a quick tapa” and somehow ended up with me getting home several hours later…

I really didn’t want them to leave. But they promise to be back again later in the year. 🙂
