Ibiza seems considerably more expensive than the rest of Spain...

Amazed the US has only lost two million visitors y-o-y. Thought it would be more like twenty.

Vertical boat parking! Not sure I've seen that before #Ibiza

Boat is late boarding. I guess on the plus side buses may be running when we land.

Valid. Pro-choice should be the norm but many women confuse it with glorification of abortion. I've seen women in social media gloating about having their 6th abortion in a month.

Really getting quite confident with my abysmal French-Italian-Latin combo attempt at Spanish. With the unfortunate result that people reply at pace and at length.

Wondering whether the reserved seating area will be a) air-conditioned so brutally that one needs socks and a blanket or b) not air conditioned at all.

Ferry terminal is, to use the term of art, rough as arseholes. It appears I'll be reading Middlemarch, not sleeping.

At ski chair lifts they often have a singles line, so people can pair up for the chair. They should have that for paella restaurants

It's exhausting having to decipher a new public transport payment system for every city. In Blighty, you just pretty much pay contactless everywhere.

Wondering if there's an app I can go on to find someone to eat paella with me....

Ok, it looks like "authentic paella" and "paella for one" are mutually exclusive. Don't fancy ordering for two and getting a doggy bag so es.paella it is.

Theodora Sutcliffe @theodora.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Found a bikini. Now to find somewhere that will serve a reasonably authentic paella for one person. Just tried es.paella but no rabbit in the Valenciana.

One of the most surprising things about this trip is that Spanish people go to Benidorm.

Night buses always seem such a great idea until you're on one. Will gain in Middlemarch what I lose in sleep.

Tomorrow is scheduled to be a work and travel day. So obviously the wi-fi at the Home Exchange I'm staying in is on the blink.

Wasn't gripped by Middlemarch initially -- it felt a little arch and the references whizz over my head -- but now it's cooking!

The ability to pay €2.50 or less for a glass of refreshing local white is probably not doing my liver any favours.

The Bilbao metro seems really efficient and covers a long distance. Heading out of town for a cliff walk and some beach.

If your product doesn't work as designed, you don't pause development. You pull it from sale until it works as expected.

Some unintended consequences I suspect the rise of AI agents will create: 1. Restaurants that only take reservations by hand written letter, or more likely, don't take them at all. 2. Gigs where you can only buy tickets in person. 3. Businesses that operate without websites.

Just remembering that Spain is about the size of Sumatra. Ie, B.I.G. Ibiza, also, is larger than anticipated. Heyho.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
hollywoodreporter.com
The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.
