21.51: Well after the excitement on Sunday it's been a bit hard to write anything because obviously life has returned to its new normal. However, I do want to try to write fairly regularly to give my brain something to do. In the past two days I've broken my rule of watching tv during the …
Day 21 and what a day it was.
15.54: What a day! Talk about the a hive of activity. Quick list of players before I go into detail. Lucía: my immediate neighbour. She is only my quarantine neighbour having come to Granada 2 days before the lockdown to stay in her professor's flat to finish her master's thesis. (Her professor, Teo, lives most …
Playing catch up.
Today marks 21 days. So far I haven't gone mad and although there have been some bad days, on the whole I think I'm managing fairly well on my own. My day whizzed by yesterday. The night before last my neighbours reminded me that this week is Semana Santa (how did that already happen?) and …
19 and sunny.
13.52pm: I'm sitting on the floor, finishing my coffee (plain black, no rum for those of you worried about my alcohol intake ), with the doors open and the sun streaming through. I managed to make it 8 days before venturing out in search of fresh fruit and veg. The fruitería was really well stocked …

23.37pm: Today was slightly better than yesterday despite the generally gloomy weather. I've learnt the hard way that I should read the news before I do my workout so that the endorphins can chase the sadness away. I made a tortilla francesa (apparently any omelette that has more than potatoes and eggs is considered to be …

Today was hard.
Day 16. I think.
11.55pm: I highly recommend dancing to cheesy music. Specifically Meghan Trainor's I feel better when I'm dancing. How can you not be in a good mood listening to this song? I did this after my workout and after the 12pm minute's silence for all of those who have died (fairly certain this is going to be …
Day 15.
21.09: As with every evening I clapped at 20.00 and then Lucía (my neighbour) and I chatted for a bit. This evening two others joined us and shared their stories. Lucía and I swapped numbers a few days ago and after we had both retreated for the evening she sent me a message to ask …
It’s been a while…
A few people have suggested I restart my blog and because I have found myself with quite a lot of time on my hands, ¿porqué no? I don’t think my brain has turned to complete mush yet so let’s see if I can still string a few words together. Three weeks ago I was happily enjoying …
The downside to being introspective (1).
My “go-to” whilst baking is to listen to BBC Radio 4. I did the same when I was in university and even before I enjoyed gardening, I was always excited when “Gardener’s Question Time” came on. There’s something rather comforting in listening to people talk about their problems with oak trees. I’m rather partial to …
But Who You Be, Really?
