Seville travel hack: if you are tired of the usual sights in the city, go and visit this modern art centre. It's fascinating, thoughtful and in a beautiful building. www.caac.es

Confession time. I'd let this account lie fallow for a while. My humble apologies for those who I hadn't followed back. Hopefully I'm all caught up and I'll play on here more often - promise.

In the theatre seeing a play about the Brontë sisters playing a game of Checkov's disco ball. Will it be used? Oh the tension.

Oxford and Cambridge boat race crews have been warned not to jump in the Thames because it's been contaminated by toxic parasites, also known as water companies.

Well goodbye Athens, I shall miss you. Not the daily attempts by thieves to break into our apartment of course, but in general it's been great.

Just visited the Acropolis museum. Reading about pre-democracy Hellenic city-states & I can't help but wonder if Johnson had something like this in mind when designing his great free-port revolution.

I used to work with someone who voted Tory. His wife was a teacher, and his son had special needs. So whenever he voted, he denied his wife a pay rise and cut the budget for his son’s education. That’s how stupid and selfish Tory voters are. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Tories absolutely love to claim that anyone who despises Brexit or the lost decade of terrible governance they’ve delivered, must hate Britain, what they will always fail to understand though is that we love Britain, we just fucking hate their fuck awful shitshow of fucking doom.

Friendly traveller tip guys. If booking an Airbnb in Athens do not book in the Omonia region (like we did). Unless you like sharing the road with drug addicts and prostitutes.

We have a wonderful arrangement where the cat visits us during the day but Peanut's owner collects him every night at 5pm. Tonight though he's coming over for dinner with us so Mr P is looking nervously at the door because his regular "yoinking" isn't happening.

Finally got the courage up to make Labneh the old fashioned way: by leaving it tied to the kitchen tap to drip overnight. Oh it's wonderful. Big bowl in the fridge now, waiting to be consumed.

I have an absolute fascination for stone age tools. I'm lucky in that they are prolific in my area. This is one of my greatest finds. Two stone tools, made in the same fashion, found 3 miles apart.

I'm doing my usual trick and just catching up on TV series everybody else watched when they first came out. But the acting of Sofia Helin in The Bridge is simply some of the best I have ever seen in anything. Astounding.
