Spain… a nation of nibblers, where even the mice are sad, drunken and decadent. But it could all be fixed by a decent, sensible breakfast.

Staying alive
This is what morning look like here when we’re all tired.
This is really amusing, in that almost a year ago to the day, RUN DMReenie was getting down to Christmas in Hollis Morges.
Hands…Face…Space
It’s been a long pandemic…
Comedy night date
Katy and I went on a date Tuesday night. We bought a ticket to a live zoom performance of Nina Conti, a British ventriloquist whose sidekick,Monk, is a cynical monkey who is continually insulting Conti and swearing when he does not have his demands fulfilled.
It was a blast. We were part of the live “studio” audience that was going to interact with her and another comedian, prior to the free broadcast. It was supposed to be just us, my laptop and a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, the small annoying one got in on the act and it was easier to just let him watch the show with us than to fight over him going to bed and miss the show.
Here are some videos from other shows.
Going to be a wild ride
So we have Lily and Eric for today and part of tomorrow. Don’t know what’s going to break first: coffee cup, TV or my sanity. It’s been a nonstop manic 30 minutes since Lily arrived, but it would seem to… cautiously… be winding down because both contestants are knackered.
Update: 5h later, we’ve finally achieved peace. Both doggos are snoozing, having completely exhausted themselves this morning. I honestly thought we’d need to have Lily go back to her place, but they’ve settled down. Mad props to Katy the dog whisperer.
#dateday
Has our first date day in a loooong time. Unfortunately, it started out with a frustrating 2h wait/argument at Barclays Bank to try and sort out a bank fuck-up on their part (still unresolved), but it finished with Wagamama and cocktails so it’s all good.
6 oz tomato juice
1 1/2 oz vodka
1 tsp wasabi paste (or less to taste)
1 tap balsamic vinegar
freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
dash of hot sauce
ice
cucumber wedge and lime wedge for garnish
Also, random fox and gang signs :
What Christmas movie are we watching?
Yippee Ki-Yay, Mr. Falcon!
