I've just been enjoying how quiet it is in the barrio this week cos everyone's in the town centre watching the pasos. The scale of it in Sevilla is insane, a thousand times bigger and more grand than anywhere else in Spain, but I can't handle being in those crowds anymore, it's too much.

This was about 30 minutes walk from where I live on Thursday night/Friday morning - the "madrugada". I was sat on my balcony drinking wine but I could smell the incense from there. It is amazing, but seeing it once is enough for me.

It was really weird actually, a bit like at the beginning of covid for a while there. I was out jogging in the park when it got cut off, and on my way back i noticed all the traffic lights weren't working. Then my phone battery ran out so i didn't have much of a clue what was going on. One of my neighbours reckoned it was a terrorist attack by Putin.

I sat around in the house for while and when it became clear i wasn't gonna be able to start my shift, I did go down to the bar and had a few, read my book - I owe the barwoman 7 euros cos i couldn't use my card. Power's been back on here for a while now but the internet connection keeps coming and going.

Weird day.

i think you can make some kind of primitive fridge to keep the beer cold, it's some african method which involves two buckets and a wet cloth. they do it at festivals.

The thing is, how do you actually tell when everyone in Spain has given up trying to work and decided to drink beer in the sunshine instead?
