Writer, translator and guide in Seville. History nut. Mother of cats, dog and children. Involuntary teetotal.
Rewatching Green Wing (C4) after meeting the delightful Tamsin Greig (*not* pron Greeg) at a friend’s party in London. 19yo loves the surreal slapstick humour. Childish but entertaining. Plus Olivia Colman.

A few tips on how to order tapas. Be more Spanish: lose your inhibitions and order like a boss. Try a new (small) dish; if you don’t like it, no matter - order another one! www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti...

Trump thought suing the BBC would intimidate them. Instead, they turned his own lawsuit into a legal headache that could force him to defend his actions surrounding January 6 under oath. That is the kind of self inflicted karma no political strategist could have scripted.🙂

If you haven't seen this netflix doc on the Duquesa de Alba, I recommend it. A very complex and sometimes confounding woman. Number one fan @fionafloreswatson.bsky.social has also written a very good piece about her... An Ode to the Duchess of Alba.

With extensive repairs and restoration required - and seven towers to build - it’s going to be quite a challenge to finish Malaga’s cathedral in time for its fifth centenary in 2028.
Inside the battle to complete Spain’s other great unfinished church

A few weeks ago, from out of nowhere, I received an email from a book-club organizer who raved about my long-out-of-print memoir. I was flattered, no question. But then I received another effusive email about my books, and another, and another. Things got weird. Here's my story -- about scams!

Soy ilustradora y a la vez trabajo en una tienda. Lo primero no me da para vivir, y lo segundo me tiene amargada la existencia. Así que busco trabajo. Ojalá de lo primero, pero si es de otra cosa y en Sevilla, también me sirve. Todo sea por mejorar aunque sea un poquito mi situación ahora mismo.

Love this piece about names, and the admin nightmare that can be caused around them, by my fellow writing group member Giovanni García Fenech. Insightful and very funny. slate.com/life/2025/10... @slate.com
