Had no idea that #Mogwai ‘Come On Die Young’ was such a beautiful. chilled album. Was expecting it be much more aggressive. Going to have to listen to their other albums #music #musicsky youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Wandering around #Granada last night, I saw this. Just another alleyway perhaps. But another of my favourite things in this city #Spain

This is such a wonderful album and ‘Walk, Don’t Run’, a particularly laidback yet funky tune. I need to explore more #Tindersticks albums. Any suggestions? #music #musicsky open.spotify.com/track/4IErKr...

Another wonderful and insightful post from @brendanboyle.bsky.social about community, sharing and how it’s totally woven into the fabric of society in #Spain Highly recommended!

We found Pumpkin abandoned in a field outside Granada a year ago. We think she’s 2 now. There’s a stigma with black cats in Spain. She’s one of the most vocal & affectionate cats I’ve known. So, it’s kind of her birthday. Feliz cumpleaños Pumpkin! Our life is much better with you in it #cats #catsky

She may drive us mad from time to time. But when our Gracie is like this, isn’t she just adorable? #dogsky #dogs

Morning breakfast in Gran Cafe Bib Rambla in the centre of #Granada. Old school bar with staff in white jackets. I used to come here when I first moved here as it seemed to embody ‘Granada-ness’ more than other places I knew. 11 years later it has reassuringly not changed #coffee #travel #Spain

Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk is okay. Abandoning society is okay. Moving into a cave with a family of raccoons is okay. Giving them tiny swords & shields is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.

I haven’t been to this bar for a year since we rented a place nearby for a few months. I used to be a regular and when I got to the bar, he remembered my order. Isn’t that heartwarming? Especially in a cold and frosty morning in #Granada #coffee #Spain

I live in #Granada. Time to incorporate pomegranates into our lunch today. For those who don’t know, granada is Spanish for pomegranate. Beautiful colours! #foodsky #food #Andalucia #Spain

Our #cats have fun toys, soft and comfortable beds and regular food, but never seem happier or more at peace than when sleeping in an old cardboard box in the sunshine! #catsky

Even after 40-ish years, @billybragg.bsky.social can still beautifully articulate what we’re all thinking. As if depriving the poorest people weren’t enough, Musk has the the bizarre narcissistic Trump-like temerity to boast about it like he’s doing the world a favour. Really #wtaf

Just sat down to order #coffee & breakfast in my local bar in #Granada and with a smile, the barman says ‘Buenos días familia’. What a lovely and friendly way to start the day! #Andalucia #Spain #travelsky #expat #immigrant

This was such a pleasure to read! You can feel their youthful joy on discovering ‘New Day Rising’ by Husker Du. I don’t even know the album but I am going to listen to it now, loud on headphones. Lovely backstory too with which I and many others can identify. Look forward to reading more #musicsky

I got into 'Divison Bell' by #PinkFloyd as a student in France in 1994. Til then I only knew 'Wish You Were Here'. Even now, these are my two most favourite PF albums. 'Division Bell' is frowned upon as not being 'real' as there is no Roger Waters. Piffle, I say #musicsky youtu.be/k-ltGvfwLJI?...

In a cafe in #Granada and a family of Japanese tourists have just left. They had ordered a few things. But now their table is clean, as if nobody had used it. Not a crumb in sight. It shouldn’t be a thing, but I find it unusual these days. It’s perhaps a small thing but it fills me with hope #Spain

This morning’s sunshine has reminded me of the word ‘philocaly’: a love of beauty, even in the smallest things.
