Did you know that Isaac Newton predicted the end of the world in 2060? Well, this was the theme of a hostel I stayed at recently in Madrid... This is also my first post following the latest hardfork (you

So does this restaurant want me to visit or not?? It appears to be giving mixed messages at best. Charming! Must be a branding thing ;) Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

A cheeky little find in my local supermarket and last night's tipple. Not sure where they've been hiding it but it jumped out at me (not literally) on my last visit. A spicy 70cl bottle of 6.5% natural

I don't think these things are always entirely accurate ;). Perhaps I should put my hoody back on. All kidding aside, sublime temperatures, blue skies and good amount of sun in Madrid today... Steepshot

The Crystal Palace in Retiro park, Madrid. Great spot on a delightful Friday afternoon. May is a perfect time to be in town - sunny, warm, good vibes... but not too hot! About right for a cool beer I should

Another curiously named shop in Madrid. Perhaps they should get together with Eboli and start a super chain ;). I think this is actually a multi-purpose kind of store, I'm not sure, I've never been inspired

Madrid happens to have one of the most thriving art scenes around. Very much underrated in fact. It houses several of the finest museums in the world with many along one main street. Here I am at one of

Looks like someone in Madrid isn't too fond of the idea. This is on a bridge near where I live and is a haven for little bits of graffiti with various political and other opinion. I thought it funny someone

Always a delightful stroll down by the royal palace in Madrid. Very central but also a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle. A good place to chill out and see various activity. In front stands the statue

I've always thought the name of this place is a bit unfortunate. Each time I walk past I find it mildly amusing, especially when certain buzzwords are in the media. Welcome to Eboli! A delightful fusion

I always used to misread this sign when I walked past this shop on breaks from work. Question is, what did I think it said in those moments? And what on earth would make me see such things? Probably one

This guy pops up occasionally in and around Madrid. He's got all sorts going on there: buckets, pipes, pans and all manner of makeshift 'drumming' equipment. Tell you what, it's pretty damn good and it's

Here we have a 'larger than life' character who dwells in Plaza Mayor, Madrid. This is actually a poor picture as he's bent over (tying his shoelaces by the looks of it), so you can't see him in his full

Choices, choices! Just too late for Valentine's but just in time for Saturday night. What's it to be… te amo (I love you), or te-quila?? Looks like the decision has been made with this particular sign.

A couple more Madrid classic characters! These guys can be found often in and around the centre playing these instruments (Cimbalom?). They always draw a crowd and I tend to stop and watch for a bit and

This is my 'goodie bag' for tomorrow's 10K run, which will take place in Casa de Campo park in Madrid. Sometimes you get all sorts in these things… sometimes not much at all… and sometimes some random

A little Spanglish weekend wisdom for you today: 'good things are going to be happen'… well that's encouraging! Seen in a shop in Madrid. Ok, not quite grammatically correct, but hey, I'll take the sentiment!

Caption competition! What could these 2 be saying to each other?? Mr Bean and Michael Jackson having a good ol' chat in a street in central Madrid. But what about? I'd like to see that collaboration… I'm

My new toy has arrived! Guess what my main activities will be these next few weeks?? It involves me putting on those (not so new) trainers and finding my way around that Uke. Not at the same time of course…

Philosophising in Madrid mini land today. I used to walk past this shop all the time and it gave me a little reminder as I glanced across at this sign. Todo es parte del plan! (everything is part of the
