blues greens

… have been recently cleaned. Today was my first time out of the house since last Tuesday (!!!). I had no tours and didn’t really fancy getting soaked to the bone. On the plus side I caught up on some work at home (photo editing, website stuff) and got back into my daily yoga/pilates and small weights routine. Anyhow, the azahar is all gone now, washed away, but the trees look extra green and shiny. Plus our reservoirs are now up to 60% and we get an extra hour of daylight. Happy April!

mantillas, semana santa, sevilla

determination

One of my favourite things to do during Semana Santa is go out and get photos of the ladies dressed in their beautiful black lace mantillas on Jueves and Viernes Santo. But of course this year I reckoned nobody would be going out in this WEATHER dressed up… then I saw this pic on local author Julio Muñoz’s Instagram. Gotta admire her determination.

semana santa 2024, sevilla, spain

2021 revisited

The first cancellation of Semana Santa in 2020 came as a shock to everyone, including myself, because it seemed unimaginable. The following year as we waited for the first Covid vaccine rollout it was cancelled once again and this was the very poignant official poster that year. It could also serve for this year with the entire week’s weather forecast not only rainy but also with storm and wind warnings. That hasn’t stopped a few processions from going out… it’s like living in denial has become a thing. I don’t understand why they would risk damage to these works of art. Even the archbishop has said to the hermandades who were not able to go out this year that THIS should be considered their penance. Whatevs. I’m staying home for the rest of the week.

rogene phil

First visit since our first meet up just before Covid lockdown, after knowing each other “virtually” for years, Rogene (aka Maribel) and Phil are back in town. We had a couple of great food and wine filled afternoons, a “Tribeca Tapas Tour” and then Phil’s birthday lunch at Barra Baja. Good times!
