Sometimes you take a photo but are so concentrated on the subject you don't realize what else is going on 😅 Love the couple in front of Puppy. 😁

Out and about walking in Bilbao so I had to pay Puppy a visit. 💚💚

It's not the Guggenheim but it's still great fun. El Peix d'Or by Frank Gehry near the Barceloneta beach in Barcelona.

Gaudi's Barcelona 1/2

Sad, chilly and grey evening but they're hard at work on the new mural in the plaza. 💙💙

Bits and bobs from today's walk in Bilbao (after visiting the flower market). Such a beautiful day!! 1/3

Sunday flower market in Bilbao. And no, I didn't buy any as I didn't want to carry them while continuing my walk. Plus, though I tried not to show it on the photos, it was heaving with people. 💐🌻🌷⚘

Statues ( and suitcase) to remember the Basque children who were evacuated from Santurce during the Spanish Civil War. Many of them went to the UK.

@wordsmithgetxo.bsky.social As you are the resident bird expert I need some help. Sorry the photos are so poor. I googled the first one so I know it's a Muscovy Duck but what is my little friend I met today on my way to Santurce??

Coming along nicely. The new mural in the plaza. #Romo #LasArenas #Getxo

What I love about this is how much it will piss Trump off!! 😂😂😂

Oh, man, not Gene Hackman. 2025 can just fuck right off. Okay. Let me tell you a little bit about Gene Hackman...

Yesterday on Twitter Jenny Eclair posted a photo of the coast from the London to Edinburgh train. I commented that I also loved the sudden appearance of the wonderful Angel of the North. ❤ Today some female I don't know is telling me you can't see it from the train. 🤦‍♀️ Maybe she was having 40 winks.

Absolute no-brainer which book I was going to read next. A JAM fan since the energy of "In The City" and the cheekiness of "Batman Theme". Lucky enough to see them live in Cardiff in 1980. And after the sad news of Rick's passing. #RIPRick #NowReading #Book9 #BooksIn2025

Here we go again. #TeatroArriaga #ElCuartoDeAtrás #EmmaSuárez

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Anne Glenconner's "Lady In Waiting" is a tough act to follow. Let's see what you've got Phyllida Law!! 😉 #NowReading #Book7 #BooksIn2025

Seeing loads of people on Twitter complaining about Ticketmaster again reminds me of how things were back in the day. In 1977 Nils Lofgren supported by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed at Sheffield City Hall. I saw the advert in NME, wrote to the City Hall........ 1/2

Here we go!! Really looking forward to this. Think it's going to be great fun. #PriscillaQueenOfTheDesert #ArriagaTheatreBilbao

I know exactly why I bought this book!! I saw her on the Graham Norton Show (check it out on youtube) and she had everyone in stitches. (n.b. honeymoon in Paris 😂😂) and I'm pretty sure there'll be lots of great anecdotes in this book. #NowReading #Book6 #BooksIn2025

Why can I have 🧡 and 💛 and 💚 and 💙 and 💜 and 🤎 and 🖤 and 🤍 but not red = ❤???????

😁❣❣❣

Scary Poppins.

Matt Haig is always worth reading and I am definitely interested in anything that can help my mental health, anxiety, stress etc Easy to read in short chapters (so far), i think I'll finish this in a day, 2 at the most. #NowReading #Book4 #BooksIn2025

First match at home this year. It's good to be back!! #AthleticOsasuna #CopaDelRey

Some books have been patiently waiting on the shelf for years!!! This one is from 2008 🤦‍♀️ and I'm pretty sure I'll find even older ones as I work through the pile!! Still, better late than never!?!? #NowReading #Book3 #BooksIn2025

I used to love reading but really lost the habit so that's something I really want to get back into not least because I have 60+ books waiting to be read. 🤦‍♀️ Of course I'm starting with the newest ones. #NowReading #Book2 #BooksIn2025

I just asked my pharmacist if my ear was a bit blocked and he had a look and SCREAMED and told me to go to A&E immediately so off I go, gang!

I've had Appletv+ for 3 weeks now and I'm loving it. So far I've watched - Ted lasso x 3 ***** Slow Horses x 4 ***** Bad Sisters x 2 **** The Morning Show x3 *** What next????

100% me!!!

Now reading ❤❤❤

A New Year and a new Harlan Coben on Netflix. Perfect!!

Happy New Year 🥳🎊🍾😘

Sundays with Sabela. #Lataska #Sopelana #Rabas #Mercadillo #IlBarista #Leioa #PatatasBravas 😁😋😋

Ever have that terrible, sinking feeling?

I've received some gorgeous Christmas cards but this one really tickled me 😂😂 (Thanks Vanessa & Neil 😘) IYKYK 😉

I just can't help it. Everytime I see Ofwat my brain sees Oftwat.

This is the person of the year.

Out and about with Sabela. Lataska, Sopelana for rabas. Hello, Josuuuuuu. Guapo. 😁 Then to Puerto Viejo, Algorta for tortilla. 😋😋

Wet, windy, miserable day for the last match at San Mamés this year. In fact, after today, our next home match is on January 26th 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #AupaAthletic #AthleticVillarreal ❤🤍❤🤍🦁🦁🦁🦁

First time at a Candlelight Concert. Really looking forward to this. A Tribute To Coldplay.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! Las Arenas station, Metro Bilbao.

Back at my 3rd home!! #TeatroArriaga #Chicago

FIFA today say there is no TV broadcaster for Club World Cup with DAZN to stream the 63-match tournament for free. Gianni Infantino's name being twice engraved on the new-look trophy wasn't enough to persuade TV broadcasters to strike a deal.

From December 20th my tv package includes Apple TV+!!!!! At last I'll be able to watch Ted Lasso!!!! Yaaaaaaay! 😁

Out and about with Sara. Sunday December 1st. Balmaseda. 1/2

Out and about with Sara on Sunday. She loves her beer. #BihotzCaféBilbao #Craftbeer

“Free apple crumble”

Of course Sara and I have been stuffing our faces again.😋😋 😁😅 #CafeIruña 1/2
