CAU, Cambridge; 24 May 13
It’s been a week of two birthdays. They were both 30 year birthdays, both males and both sons. And both were celebrated with meat.

Regadera, Cordoba, Spain; 8 May 13
There’s a limit to the number of patios in Cordoba which you’d want to visit. And there’s more than enough to exceed it. But fortunately there’s also the Mezquite and the Alcazar.

Teri-Aki, Cambridge; 16 Feb 13
Sometimes you paint yourself into a corner. You’ve maybe taken a principled position or you’ve made an unfortunate resolution or you’ve simple been a victim of circumstance. Whatever’s happened it’s usually pride that stops you getting out. That and the absence of a good ladder of course.
