• Bolero

    Being more of a trainers person myself I’ve never required the services of the hundreds (or thousands?) of boleros or shoeshiners. Moonshine, though, that’s another story…

  • Can´t really call it busy…

    …but I’m filling me time. I’m trying to reign in the scrabble, boggle and moviegoing and just do stuff i won’t be able to do in a couple of months, like wandering round soaking up the mexicanidad with me camera(s).

    On Tuesday Sita came back from the States, Colorado Springs sounds like a nice neck of the woods, fingers crossed and all that. I had me photography class and then we went to CosCafe. On Wednesday I went to the Mercado de Abastos and Jose came round in the evening. Yesterday i caught up with Boxer at his hamburger stand and then went to take some photos of the Hospicio Cabañas for a postcard competition they´ve got going, then a few beers in La Fuente and catching up with Javier. Time is flying by at a dizzying pace. Tomorrow Fernando´s grilling for us round his house…

    Ooh, and i was made an “officer” for Ros´s Facebook group “You know you´re from Somerset when…” . My tagline: Bringing the sombrero to the South West…

    If things are quiet at this blog, might I suggest a visit to me photoblog, which I´m still managing to update more or less daily.

  • Bad joke from el Cala

    CUANDO LA MUJER SE SACA EL MELATE (Mexican Lottery)

    Una mujer llega a casa muy apresuradamente, rechina las llantas de su auto en la entrada, corre dentro de la casa tirando las puertas y grita a todo pulmón a su marido:

    ‘Apúrate!! Empaca tus maletas!! ¡¡Me gané el Melaaaaateee!!!!!!!!!’

    -El marido responde entusiasmado:

    ‘¡¡¡Dios mío!!!…. ¿¿¿Qué debo empacar??? ¿ropa de playa o de montaña?

    Ella responde…

    -¡No importa pendejo!!!!. ¡¡¡¡Solo empaca y LARGATE A LA CHINGADA!!!!

  • Vertigo

    Granted, this shot of a stairway in a multi-storey car park in Guadalajara is a tad clichéd, but with the kid in it and the coloured handrails I reckon it´s a nice shot. His T-Shirt says “You with those curves, and me with no brakes”

  • Hemispheric Cow

    I just got a new camera which has an in-built autostitch function, hence this photo… Taken by the Paraninfo of the University of Guadalajara. I’m not convinced the dimensions work for this photoblog. What do you reckon?
