I had the strangest dreams last night – not scary but weird and a bit uncomfortable, like talking to a great-great-aunt you’ve only met once when you were 3.

As for the first series, the second series of Stranger Things was decent but could have been a tad shorter. I didn’t even pay half attention during episodes 5-8 and didn’t seem to miss too much.

Is Tumblr becoming less and less able to show photos? It seems my dash always has trouble loading these days.

I can’t stop reading those “25 products you really need for this and this” lists on Buzzfeed even though I’m basically giving away and otherwise getting rid of everything I own, minus a suitcase and backpack.

“Hack” – does that word still have a meaning when everything little thing these days is a “hack” even though it’s just a normal thing that others have been doing for ages?

Right. The first round of the elections is right around the corner and the only thing I’m sure of is to who I will not be voting for. I do not like this uncertainty at all.

I realised yesterday that the first Semana Santa processions will already start this week. Friday for the processions in the villages and Sunday for the intra-Sevilla ones. Time flies, just the other week we were in January!
